Dear Anjan,
First and foremost, my name is Dinesh Divekar and not what you have written. As a Training Manager, you ought to be fastidious and perfunctoriness has no place in the profession of training!
Though you are Training Manager of reputed Retail Store for the last 5 years, it appears that you are yet to understand the concept of communication. Personal communication is different from the concept of communication. For you, it took three posts to explain the nature of your requirement or challenge and that too after prodding by several members. Your first two posts hardly justify your stature. Far from guiding the junior members of this forum, it is you who need to be told how to improve your communication. Quite sad to note this!
You are yet to understand how to present information in a sequential manner. I doubt whether you read newspaper articles. There are two types of reading. One is to understand the contents or viewpoint put forth by the columnist and another is to understand the communication style. Read the articles and start making notes on in what sequence the article was written. This will help you in augmenting your own communication style. Generally, most of the articles or editorials in written in Introduction-Cause-Result-Conclusion (ICRC) format. You need to do analysis whether this or any other sequence was followed.
Now about Retail Training. The most important part of the retail training is on various costs associated with your business. I doubt whether you have conducted any training to optimise the following costs:
a) Cost of stock-out or lost sale
b) Inventory carrying cost at retail store
c) Inventory carrying cost at the warehouse
These are three major costs of your business. Your training efforts should be directed towards optimising these costs. Everything else is secondary.
In addition to the above costs, you need to conduct the training on Demand Forecasting also. You have done gap analysis but then going further, you need to measure whether by filling that knowledge gaps whether you could optimise the above costs. Sans this hardcore data, your interviews could be appearing superficial to the interviewers. Hence the turning down of your candidature!
All the best!
