RETAIL LINK® 2:
DECISION SUPPORT (DSS)
Learn from an expert in Walmart’s DSS how to create 11 valuable Retail Link® reports. You’ll run and retrieve those reports under the guidance of that expert so you are fully prepared for accurate DSS work — even if it’s new to you.
You’ll learn how to build queries from start to finish and practice with a Retail Link® expert very experienced in building reports. Then you’ll explore different versions of the same data to give you a fuller, richer understanding of your product’s performance in Walmart. This knowledge provides a solid base on which to grow your product sales.
Who should take this Retail Link® class?
Analysts, those who build DSS reports or analyze Retail Link® data, those who wish to learn the correct DSS processes, those who want to create DSS reports more quickly.
All reports in this class are for brick-and-mortar not dotcom. Our new class Walmart.com Reports begins in September 2021.
