Free of charge business advice series open to all retailers
Enterprise support service Go Succeed has launched a new series of masterclasses designed to help retailers supercharge their businesses in the digital age.
The online events are open to business owners and managers across the retail industry with a focus on boosting their customer service and embracing new artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
Hosted by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council and facilitated by WorldHost, the series will feature three masterclasses commencing on Tuesday 25th June with An Introduction to Customer Service Excellence.
The interactive session, running from 9.30-11am, will feature inspirational insight and quick, actionable tricks and tips to deliver a first-class customer experience.
Delegates will learn about the changing needs and expectations of retail customers in the digital world, hear real life local examples of customer service excellence, and find out who to use AI and ChatGPT to elevate their business.
Eva Dobbin, Business Growth Manager, Economic Development at Mid and East Antrim Borough Council said:
“We are delighted to host this informative and interactive series for retailers, large and small, across Northern Ireland.

We are delighted to host this informative and interactive series for retailers, which aims to provide the guidance and tools required to supercharge your retail business, and the experience of your customers in the digital age.
