  12. An Example of a Role Play • SITUATION: You are to assume the role of an experienced employee of a successful kitchenware store. The store sells high-end cookware and gourmet food items. It is located in a small shopping center located in an affluent suburb. The local population consists of professional, two-income couples and singles. The store’s owner has asked you to orient a new employee by providing information about the store. During the training, the employee asks you why the store always has what customers want. • POINT INDICATORS You will be on how well you meet the following performance indicators: • Explain target market • Explain demographics, psychographics, and geographics • Explain the concept of product mix • Describe how you get customers into your store

  13. Time to Start the WOW Factor! • Approach judge with a smile and shake hand firmly. Wait to have a seat until they offer. • They will tell you to begin with your solution to the situation. • Remember your role in the role play.

  14. Using Those WOW Skills • Start out by looking judge in the eyes. • Use notes sparingly, as to not read directly from them, but to use them as a guide. • Speak slowly and clearly. • Stay focused. • Keep hands at bay. • Just act like you know what you are talking about. • Use your marketing terms, if possible

  15. Role Play Continued… • After you finish answering, the judge may ask you 2 questions. • Act like you know what you’re talking about, if you have no clue Always points for that. (Confidence is key) • This process may only take 2-10 minutes • Thank the judge for their time and shake hand once again before you leave.

  16. WOW Points with the Judge • If applicable to your role play… • Make a fake business card drawn on your preparation sheet • Draw graphs • Create an ad • Just simple things such as these impress a judge!! • These can be done during your prep time.

  17. AND Dress For Success • VERY IMPORTANT • Judge’s first impression what you are wearing.
