Back in December, Huckabee surveyed florists for ways to improve the company\u00a0for its 20<sup>th<\/sup> anniversary. He\u2019s responded by making the following changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More time to watch recordings: <\/strong>In addition to the traditional streaming option (available for one month), Floral Strategies now offers downloadable copies of webinars that florists can watch indefinitely.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Advanced topics: <\/strong>This year\u2019s series will cover such matters\u00a0as training new hires, hidden opportunities to get more business from customers and strengthen their loyalty, talking\u00a0with a funeral director, and easy ways to cut your costs. Registering for the new webinars includes access to older webinars, so florists can review the basics\u00a0before diving into the new content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More tools to enforce training: <\/strong>The Valentine Bootcamp, for instance, includes two secret shopper calls Huckabee made last year, as well as a week-by-week worksheet to keep florists organized and on-track.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Accrue credit for an in-house training session. <\/strong>Every paid webinar registration earns a $50 credit toward a training visit to your shop, anywhere in the world, from Huckabee or a Floral Strategies trainer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Staff members can earn points toward the international FSC accreditation: <\/strong>FSC accreditation acknowledges that an individual has been trained in the Floral Strategies approach and is proficient at selling and serving to a higher standard. (Floral Strategies will make the complete curriculum, testing process, fees and annual review procedures available online soon. <em>Stay tuned for more information.<\/em>) \u201cUltimately, the FSC letters after your name will tell a potential employer that you come to the store not with the standard bad habits (\u2018How much do you want to spend?\u2019) but as an asset, ready to engage customers, use the POS software smarter, and perform in a whole new way,\u201d Huckabee said. \u201cFSC members make more for a shop from the first day! Additionally, FSC membership tells the industry that you are a well-rounded floral professional, as concerned about sales, service and the customer experience as you are about great design and using the best product.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Huckabee is offering a special deal.
