Named one of the top retail influencers of 2019, Bob Phibbs, the man behind The Retail Doctor, is also an American Express merchant advisor, IBM retail futurist, and RetailWire BrainTrust partner.

“Axonify is a leader in training frontline employees,” said Bob Phibbs, The Retail Doctor. “Their ability to drive high engagement and reach frontline associates in the flow of their shift using gamification made them a natural fit to partner with and drive conversions. I’m excited to bring my retail-specific content to Axonify customers so we can improve both the employee and customer experience for retailers around the world.”

“We’ve heard from retail customers that offering relevant and engaging learning content is a huge obstacle,” said Carol Leaman, CEO of Axonify. “By partnering with Bob Phibbs, The Retail Doctor, we are bringing more retail-specific learning content to our library in our Content Marketplace.
