Do you have an idea for a store but don't know exactly how to put it into practice? Would you like to strengthen your project? " Les élévateurs " offers to help aspiring shopkeepers succeed with their first opening and the development of their brand. This specific 8-week program includes training, direct exchanges with the experts - and even mentoring to leave nothing to chance.
How do you get the hang of opening your first store? It's hard to get to grips with the many pitfalls and traps to avoid, while successfully developing your brand. Not to mention the thousand questions about everything involved in this life change! To help you avoid jumping headlong into the unknown, a brand new support program called Les élévateurs has just been launched.
More than just a fast-track training program for apprentice retailers, it puts you in touch with experts who are well-versed in the world of retailing. In addition to video courses, the "Les élévateurs" program lets you join a community, take part in workshops led by experts and, above all, benefit from individual mentoring. A mentor follows your progress week after week, helping you to put the finishing touches to your project, so that you're ready for opening day. Last but not least, an elevator godmother or godfather is on hand if you need help.
While there are already a number of support programs for entrepreneurs, Les élévateurs is the first to focus specifically on retailers (stores, boutiques, points of sale, etc.).
The training program, which is accessible and open to financing, is aimed at aspiring shopkeepers who want to beef up their project. It can attract future store managers with a project in gestation, as well as entrepreneurs who already have financing. At every stage, the program enables you to structure your project by reviewing everything you need to know to plan your opening with peace of mind.
There are many questions that we don't necessarily think about until we're confronted with the reality of running a store. While there's no substitute for experience, it can be passed on to save time and anticipate pitfalls. The Les élévateurs program includes a solid theoretical and practical foundation, delivered over 8 intensive weeks and 7 training modules.
The course reviews the preliminary stages involved in building a project without forgetting anything, and securing financing. It will tell you everything you need to know about the location and layout of the space, not forgetting the essential legal and commercial basics.
The program also covers the essential topics of customer relations, loyalty, local and online visibility, social networks, supplier relations, customer experience, CRM and much, much more.
The advantage of this program is that it includes an " experience sharing " component, with direct contact with experts in store opening and management. Live workshops provide an opportunity to get to the heart of the matter in a personalized way. Above all, one hour's mentoring is included per week, and they can benefit from the advice of store mentors. The next 100% online sessions are scheduled for September, with availability available on leselevateurs.com.
