Attention Retail Store Owners: Whether you’re new to retail or if you’ve got decades of experience running your own business, you know that you’ve got to step up your game if you want to thrive.
We can help. Introducing…
Then reality sets in: Retail is HARD! On average, one retail business fails every 12 minutes in the U.S. alone. And even if you’re not struggling… success may feel out of reach.
You’re probably working longer hours than you anticipated and your profit margins may not be as high as you wanted them to be.
And getting customers to come in the door… well, if that was your only challenge, you’d consider yourself lucky.
If you want to be successful you have to master eleven essential skills including:
- Marketing your business to get new customers (and get your existing customers to come back over and over again!). Foot traffic is critical in retail. If they don’t come, they don’t buy. Marketing is what connects you to your customers and their cash. If you figure this part out a lot of other things can start to fall in place, like …
- Finding, hiringand training the right staff (they’re essential to your success!). Your employees are the ones standing face to face with your customers and bringing – or failing to bring – money into your store.
- Managing your operations so your store runs on rails (even when you’re not in the store to crack the whip). Having the right policies, procedures, and forms in place will save you an enormous amount of time, energy, and headaches.
- Managing your inventory(without overbuying or running out of bestsellers). Spending the right amount on the right merchandise has a big impact on the amount on the bottom line. This is critical to putting more of your cash in the bank rather than having it sit on your shelves.
- All the financial stuff(even if you don’t love math or have a degree in accounting). The fact of the matter is you must understand your balance sheets, P&L statements, and cash flow… so that you’re not flying blind and running your business by the seat of your pants.
All in addition to eating, sleeping, and spending time with your family!
No matter what you sell, where you live, or how much money you started with – you must understand these essential retail skills. And put them to work in your business.
A passion for your product and a talent in one or two of these areas can get you started, but it’s simply not enough to create a super-successful, long-term business.
You have to know how to implement ALL ELEVEN of these critical retail skills.
If you don’t… then you are on the fastest track to burnout, fatigue, frustration or even closing your doors for good.
You may already be feeling it. You may find yourself hunched over your computer late at night to organize your finances, or skipping breakfast because you’ve got to hurry and open the store. You may be stressed out about how to increase your profit margin or how to hire and train a much-needed employee.
And if you continue to put off mastering these eleven skills and hope the pieces of the puzzle will somehow magically fall together… Nothing is going to change. You’re not going to see the kind of success you deserve unless you take action.
You can do it the easy way or the hard way.
The fast way or the slow way
The right way or the wrong way.
Trying to figure it out all by yourself is flat out exhausting. Which is why you need the Retail Mastery System…
