FloorNotes currently holds a 5-star rating on G2.

That means a lot to us because the rating comes from real users who have experienced the platform firsthand.

FloorNotes was built to solve real problems on the retail floor:

Training spread across too many places.
Important updates getting missed.
Managers constantly chasing completion.
Employees struggling to find the information they need.

Our goal has always been simple: bring training, communication, and accountability into one platform that retail teams will actually use.

We’re proud of the 5-star rating, but even more proud of what it represents—FloorNotes is helping real teams operate with more clarity and consistency.

Most retail software promises to help your team.

The problem is... your team still ends up bouncing between five different places to find what they need.

An email for updates.
A shared drive for training.
A group chat for urgent communication.
A binder in the break room nobody opens.
And a manager answering the same questions over and over again.

That isn't a system.

It's organized chaos.

That's why we built FloorNotes differently.

One place for company updates.
One place for product training.
One place for milestones and accountability.
One AI assistant that knows your products, policies, promotions, and processes.

Need to know the difference between two mattress collections?

Ask Professor Ed.

Need help overcoming an objection before you walk back to the customer?

Ask Professor Ed.

Need to know the special-order process, financing details, or company policy?

Ask Professor Ed.

No digging through emails.
No waiting for a manager.
No outdated binders.

Just the answer you need, right when you need it.

Because the best retail teams don't just communicate better...

They execute better.

That's what FloorNotes was built for.

🛋️ Furniture, bedding, and appliance reps — you already walk into these stores every week. What if one more conversation added recurring income to every visit? 💰

I spent 12 years on retail sales floors. Then I built FloorNotes — the platform I wish every retailer I worked for had. Corporate-to-store communication, training, onboarding, end-of-shift reporting with AI summaries — all in one place. Big Sandy Superstore runs on it today. ✅

Here's the opportunity 👇

I'm partnering with a handful of independent reps who already have relationships with furniture, mattress, or appliance retailers. You make the intro to a GM or owner you already know. When they sign, you get paid 💵 — and you keep getting paid a monthly residual for as long as they're subscribed.

Sign a few accounts this year and you've built yourself an income stream that pays you every month — whether you're on the road or on the beach 🌴

🚫 No quota. 🚫 No hours. 🚫 No exclusivity.
✅ Just your contacts and one good conversation.

DM me 📩 and I'll show you the platform — 15 minutes and you'll know exactly whether your accounts need this.

Your best associate has been with you 10 years.

They know every product. Every policy. Every POS process. Every brand story that closes a sale.

Now think about your newest hire. Day 3 on the floor.

What if they had access to everything your best associate knows — instantly, in their pocket, on every shift?

That's what a FloorNotes AI assistant does.

It's trained on YOUR specific store:

📦 Your entire product catalog — specs, features, comparisons

📋 Your POS processes — how to write up that Flexsteel special order, exact codes and all

📝 Your store policies — delivery, financing, warranties, haul-off pricing

🎯 Your brand stories — the selling points that actually close
A customer asks a question your new hire can't answer? They ask the AI and get it right — in seconds, without pulling a manager off the floor.

This isn't a customer service chatbot.

It's a sales acceleration tool, an onboarding tool, and an ex*****on tool — all in one.

And it means every associate on your floor performs closer to your best one.

Most furniture store owners are asking the wrong question about AI.

They're asking: "Is AI ready for retail?"

The real question is: "Can I afford to wait while my competitors figure this out first?"

Here's what AI is doing in furniture and appliance retail right now — not someday, right now:

🏠 Design a Room — A customer uploads a photo of their living room. Your associate drops your actual furniture into it. The customer stops saying "I need to think about it."

🤖 AI Sales Assistant — Every associate on your floor has instant access to your entire product catalog, your store policies, and your POS processes. The new hire has the same knowledge as your 10-year veteran.

🎮 AI Sales Simulator — Associates practice closing difficult customers before they're standing in front of real ones. Scored across 10 categories. No manager time required.

📊 AI Nightly Summaries — Every piece of feedback from your sales floor, summarized automatically. One regional manager told us she gets an hour of her evening back every night.

The retailers pulling ahead right now aren't waiting for AI to be perfect.

They're using it while it's still an advantage.

New sales associates walk onto a furniture floor and immediately feel it.

50+ mattresses. Hundreds of sofas. Countless Appliance packages. A dozen brands they've never heard of. And a customer walking toward them on their second week asking which Flexsteel recliner has the best lumbar support.

That used to mean one thing — fake it until you make it. Hope you remembered enough from training. Find a senior associate and pray they're not with someone.

That era is over.

FloorNotes built Professor Ed Hoot — an AI assistant trained directly on your company's own product knowledge, policies, and procedures. Not Google. Not generic AI. Your store's actual information.

A new hire on day one can ask Professor Ed exactly what to say when re-approaching a customer on the Flexsteel Jackson reclining sofa. And Professor Ed gives them three strong talking points, a re-approach line, and a close — specific to that product, specific to your store.

That is what confidence on the floor looks like before experience has had time to build it.

The old model of onboarding was simple — throw them in and hope the knowledge sticks before they cost you too many sales. Most retailers are still running that model today.

The retailers using FloorNotes are putting Professor Ed in their associates' pockets on day one. Every product question answered instantly. Every objection handled with real information. Every re-approach backed by something solid.

Your new hire no longer needs to memorize every feature of every product on your floor.

They just need to know how to ask the right question.

Professor Ed handles the rest.

Furniture retailers are losing sales to one objection that technology has already solved.

"I love it — I just want to make sure it works in my space."

Augmented reality furniture visualization now lets retail associates show customers exactly what a sofa, sectional, or bedroom set looks like inside their actual home — before they buy.

Real room. Real product. Real scale. Real confidence.

Here is what changes when this technology hits the sales floor:
The "let me think about it" becomes "let me see it first."

The customer who was going to leave and measure comes back with a decision already made.

The associate who used to hope the customer returned now has a tool that closes the conversation in the store.

Furniture retailers investing in augmented reality showroom technology are seeing higher close rates, fewer returns, and stronger customer trust — because the guessing is gone.

The retailers who are not using it are still losing deals to uncertainty.

This is exactly why we built augmented reality visualization directly into FloorNotes.

Your associates can pull it up on the floor in seconds. Customer takes a photo of their room. Drop the product in. They see it in their actual space before they ever make a decision.

No app download. No tech confusion. Just a tool your team can use the moment it matters.

Training your team to use it effectively is built into the platform too — because the best technology in the world only closes deals if your people know how to bring it into the conversation at the right moment.

If you run a multi-location furniture, mattress, or appliance operation and your associates are still asking customers to guess — it is time to talk.

Most retail teams don’t have a training problem.

They have a visibility problem.

Managers send:
Product updates
Promotions
Training materials

…and assume it’s getting done.

But there’s no real way to know:
Who actually saw it
Who understood it
Who executed it on the floor

That’s where things break down.

The best operators I’ve worked with don’t rely on assumptions.

They rely on systems that create visibility and accountability.

That’s exactly what we built with FloorNotes.

It turns communication into:
✔ Trackable actions
✔ Measurable completion
✔ Real-time insight into what’s happening in-store

Because if you can’t see it…

You can’t manage it.

Most sales aren’t lost because of price.

They’re lost because the customer never felt confident enough to decide.

Think about it…
A customer spends 20–30 minutes with a rep.
They test products. Ask questions. Engage.

And then at the end:
👉 “We’re going to think about it.”

That’s not rejection.
That’s uncertainty.

Top-performing sales professionals understand this:
Your job isn’t just to show options.
It’s to build confidence in the decision.

That happens when you:
Simplify the choices
Clearly explain the differences
Reinforce why one option fits them best

The best reps don’t overwhelm customers with information.

They guide them to clarity.

Because clear customers don’t “think about it.”
They buy.

04/27/2026

Most salespeople lead with the product. The best ones lead with the feeling.

Nobody walks into a furniture store thinking about coil counts and fabric grades.

-They walk in thinking about how they want their home to feel.
-They walk in because they haven't slept in three years and they need it to -stop.

Your job is to find the feeling they're chasing — and show them how to get there.

Find the feeling first. The product sells itself after that.

Professor Ed Hoot breaks down the most important shift any retail salesperson can make — and it has nothing to do with product knowledge.
