before i opened my boutique, i was a DIY kinda gal. i was once provided an assistant and i didn’t know how to use her! i always thought i could do things faster and better myself.
but when i opened ooma, i realized that though i may be able to do it all – i wouldn’t be able to do it all really great. so i hired some people to help who were better at their skills than i was. this made for a much more productive business.
i never heard of Whizbang in my retail days – but one of my readers, Jackie, who owns Nana in DC wrote to tell me about her experience with the Retail Mastery System. most of the time i’d ignore an ad for something like this – thinking it was a ploy to rid me of my dollars and wouldn’t do much more than i could. but when i hear from an actual business owner about her positive experience – my ears perk up.
Apparently – you can sign up for free tips (which i just did!) so you can get a taste of the program before you buy. this is how Jackie started with the program and she experienced her strongest sales day EVER by following a tip. this prompted her to try out the system
according the Jackie – the system has helped her cut her COGS by over 14%. apparently, the Inventory Mastery Programwas by far the most helpful. this helped her learn “the correct way to monitor the levels of inventory and mark down items in a timely manner.”  She is amazed at how much these adjustments in inventory and marketing ideas are sustaining her business during the recession.
now – i’ve never seen this program with my own two eyes – so i can’t endorse it based on my own experience. however, i like that Jackie is having a really profitable response. i know inventory was one of my “wing it and see” areas of management and i’m sure i could have improved had i known more about it.
has anyone else tried this system? any other great tips?
