The winning Bob Phibbs Retail RX training packages include the following:

Built-in employee progress monitoring and reporting.

Bob Phibbs is an internationally recognized retail sales consultant.

Lightspeed and Bob share a common vision of empowering independent retailers and helping them make their businesses successful.
