Ques. How is BIMTECH Noida’s retail management?

● Top Answer By Sreeparna Bose on 05 Jul 21

Ans. BIMTECH Noida is a great match for you if you see your future aspects in the retail sector. After getting into the retail field it would be tough for one to get into core marketing. Here’s why: If you choose retail management specialization it can be tough for you to get core management jobs. On the contrary, marketing students can opt for both core and retail jobs. You need to have a good personality to become a vital part of the retail industry. Below are some qualities which can help you survive in this field for the long term. Excellent leadership skills Strong foothold in providing outstanding customer service The ability to handle stressful situations like customers dealing with cool & calmness. If you think you are lacking some of these qualities, BIMTECH can provide you with navigation towards your goals.
