Compliance issues and preventable mistakes are among the most common reasons regulated retailers face enforcement. The Sell-SMaRT Responsible Vendor Program protects you and your operation by teaching your whole team how to sell safely and compliantly, and how to handle the complex situations that arise in regulated retail. It is designed for sales consultants, owners, retail managers, frontline staff, regulators, and anyone preparing to enter New York's regulated retail.
