I have moved wordpress stores to other e-commerce platforms and seen an instant improvement in sales.

Thats why wordpress is a blog and not a CMS because the only content it handles well are blog posts and basic wall of text pages. A CMS will not limit or put a definition on the content it manages, thats up to you. As an example, how complicated would it be to model the content of a store, store manager and then the relation ships between them, this is basic stuff for any other CMS.

If you don't show your clients anything else they will think its great. My clients say the same thing about wordpress, until they see something else then they wonder why anyone uses wordpress.

I think this is an outdated perspective. You can easily train the WordPress CMS to handle any content you could possibly want to throw at it, including your above example (which would take like ten minutes, tbh), for sure. Took a bit of time to figure out all the moving pieces, but WP is a fully mature CMS at this point.

Interested in what other CMS's you would recommend? You aren't being very specific.

Which platforms? What was different about them that made them better than WP?

Unless you use post types. Now since 4.7 post types can apply to everything, including page templates. Have you tried using this and failed before you made your comment?
