About Isabelle

I support companies and retail networks that want to improve commercial performance, strengthen service quality, and upskill their teams and managers.

With 20 years of field experience in retail (sales advisor, manager, store director), I combine a concrete, operational, and results-oriented approach: we work on real situations (customer reception, needs assessment, argumentation, objection handling, customer loyalty, managerial posture, feedback, redirection, organization).

My goal: teams that are more comfortable, more effective, and consistent practices in the field.

What sets me apart:
  • multi-level field expertise (sales → management → direction),
  • active pedagogy (role-playing, in-situation coaching, training),
  • simple deliverables directly usable by the teams.
Types of projects / deliverables I handle:
  • Design and delivery of training courses (1 to 3 days): customer relations, sales, frontline management
  • Manager coaching (individual or group) + 30/60 day action plan
  • Field audit (store / reception / customer experience) + recommendations
  • Creation of materials: welcome scripts, checklists, memo sheets, observation grids, evaluations
  • Impact monitoring: objectives/KPIs, progress updates, and adjustments
Available for one-off assignments or multi-week support, in-person or remote.
