Home Depot was interested in exploring Smart Home, a new concept in their stores, and asked The Retail Outsource to help them staff and manage it while also consulting with them on product mix analysis and sales process standards. This initiative was a 2,000 square foot store-within-a-store that included LCD-TVs, home theater systems, satellite and cable services, wireless services, home automation products, network infrastructure, closed circuit security systems and computer accessories. The concept saw success with customers embracing the enhanced sales experience provided by trained and qualified TRO sales associates, and saw greatly improved results in nearly all of the included categories.

According to Mark Amos, at the time Home Depot’s Smart Home Merchant, “The Retail Outsource was hired to staff and run the Smart Home operations, but they added much more value than that. The Smart Home, in select Home Depot stores across the country, requires a large degree of sophistication from its staff. We needed sales people who could sell advanced technological products and services… The Retail Outsource staffed all of our Smart Home operations with professional people who exceeded their sales goals and developed reporting and procedures to streamline the business practices.”
