Retail legend Matt Harris is back on Rooted in Retail — and this time, he’s revealing the sales framework he’s used for decades to land jobs, close high-ticket deals, and elevate customer experience. This is real sales training for retailers who want to make more money without being pushy.

In this episode, Matt breaks down the exact method he used in luxury galleries, jewelry stores, and big-brand retail — including the same approach that got him hired on the spot by Warner Bros. after a “sell me this salt shaker” test.
