As humans, we’re all a little averse to change. It

comes from our innate sense to be comfortable

and feel safe. Change can bring feelings of anxiety,

negative outcomes, and the possibility of real risk.

WHY WE FEAR CHANGE

How RICS Alleviates Fear for You

CONTROLFEAR:

SOLUTION:

We fear losing the control over how we’re managing

our store.

Changing your technology doesn’t mean you lose control,

it’s the opposite actually. When you work with RICS, we

enable you to be in control by working with you to plan a

timeline, set goals and expectations, and train you before

your new system goes live.

COMFORT

SOLUTION:Any new system may take you out of your comfort zone

at first. With RICS, we’ll work with you to make sure that

you feel equipped to run the system and we’re moving at

a comfortable pace. Once you’re up and running, you’ll

realize that this change created a better (and perhaps

more comfortable) routine.

FEAR:

We’ve gotten comfortable in our routine.

CERTAINTY

SOLUTION:

FEAR:

We think we can’t control the outcome.

The only time you can’t control an outcome of a change is

when it was ill-planned. RICS will work with you to ensure

you know exactly what is happening with your technology.

Creating a plan and goals, and sticking to them, ensures

you know exactly what you’re getting out of the change.

SELF-CONFIDENCE

SOLUTION:RICS was built to work for all skill levels, making it an easy

transition for any retailer. We do extensive training with

executives, owners, and staff to ensure you have the right

education to make you feel confident in the product. We

also offer continuous education, so your skills will never

get rusty.

FEAR:

We’re afraid we might not be able to learn

the new technology.

TIMING

SOLUTION:Changing and getting used to a new POS system can seem

like a daunting task, and one that is too time consuming

to take on. But the reality is, our average client is up and

running within 47 days of subscribing with RICS. You can

manage your business day-to-day with your old platform

until you’re live with RICS, allowing you plenty of time to

transition without taking away from your daily tasks.

FEAR:

We don’t think we have enough time to change systems.
