Dan Holman
The Wealthy Retailer®, with host Dan Holman. Join him weekly as we discuss the headlines important to independent retailers throughout North America.
For retailers, staying ahead in a competitive marketplace requires more than just offering great products; it demands insights into your sales performance. Sales reports are invaluable tools that provide essential data to optimize your retail operations. In this week’s blog, Dan shares three of the most important sales reports that every retailer must use to drive profitability and success.
Sales by Product Category
Understanding the performance of your products in different categories is vital for making informed decisions. The Sales by Product Category (or Classification) report breaks down your sales data into distinct groups, offering insights such as:
a. Identifying Top-Selling Categories: This report helps you pinpoint which product categories are performing exceptionally well. These insights can guide your merchandising strategy and resource allocation.
b. Recognizing Underperforming Categories: On the flip side, it highlights product categories that need attention. You can strategize on how to boost sales in these areas, whether through promotions, marketing, or product diversification.
c. Pricing and Inventory Management: By assessing which categories yield higher sales AND margins, you can adjust your merchandise strategies. For instance, you may choose to stock more items from high-performing categories and optimize pricing for greater profitability.
Sales by Customer Segments
Your customer base is diverse, and understanding your different customer segments can help tailor marketing and sales efforts. The Sales by Customer Segments report offers insights into:
a. Identifying Top Customer Segments: Discover who your most valuable customer segments are, whether it's based on demographics, buying behavior, or other factors. This information can guide marketing campaigns and assortment planning.
b. Targeted Marketing: Armed with data on customer preferences, you can create personalized marketing campaigns that resonate with specific customer segments, ultimately driving sales.
c. Inventory Stocking: By knowing which customer segments are more likely to buy certain products, you can tailor your inventory to meet their needs, reducing overstock and stockouts.
Sales Trends Over Time
To make informed decisions, it's crucial to track sales trends over time. This report provides historical sales data, offering insights such as:
a. Seasonal Patterns: Understanding the seasonality of your sales helps with inventory planning and marketing strategies. You can prepare for peak seasons and optimize your marketing efforts accordingly.
b. Product Life Cycle: Identify which products have a long-lasting appeal and which are more transient or fading. This knowledge helps you better manage your inventory and make informed decisions about which categories and products to prioritize.
c. Business Growth Analysis: Tracking sales trends over time provides a clear picture of your growth trajectory. It enables you to set realistic goals and make informed investment decisions. Conversely, this same report highlights areas for immediate improvement when a category begins to show signs of sales decline.
In the retail world, data is the key to success. Utilizing these three critical sales reports – Sales by Product Category, Sales by Customer Segments, and Sales Trends Over Time – empowers you to make well-informed decisions, optimize your product assortment, and create effective marketing strategies. With these reports in your toolkit, you'll be well-equipped to boost profitability, maximize customer satisfaction, and drive your retail business to new heights of success.

Effective inventory management is the cornerstone of a successful retail business. To make well-informed decisions, reduce costs, and ensure optimal stock levels, inventory reports are indispensable. These reports offer valuable insights into your product flow, empowering you to keep your shelves well-stocked and customers satisfied. In this week’s blog, Dan shares his three most important inventory reports that every retailer must use to remain competitive and profitable.
Stock to Sales Analysis Report
The Stock to Sales Analysis Report is a fundamental tool for retailers. It provides a clear overview of product sales and stock levels, enabling you to:
a. Identify Fast-Moving and Slow-Moving Products: Understanding which products are top sellers and which are underperforming is essential. This insight helps you allocate resources more efficiently and prioritize needed markdowns and reordering accordingly.
b. Prevent Stockouts: By tracking inventory levels alongside sales trends, you can avoid the frustration of running out of popular items, which keeps customers satisfied and maintains consistent sales.
c. Reduce Excess Inventory: The Stock to Sales Analysis Report helps you identify overstocked items. Excessive inventory ties up cash and will lead to costly markdowns. This report empowers you to take corrective actions before it's too late.
ABC Analysis Report
The ABC Analysis Report is a valuable tool for classifying your inventory based on importance and sales contribution. It categorizes items into three groups:
a. A-Items: These are the products with the most significant contribution to your sales. Focusing on A-Items is critical for maximizing profitability and sales growth.
b. B-Items: These are mid-range performance products, which are typically a little thicker in inventory (more than I can sell in-season) and represent a lesser contribution to your seasonal sales performance. Watch your B-Items and act on them sooner than later.
c. C-Items: C-Items are the dogs in your inventory - they are the bad fit, bad style, wrong colour, and generally represent a poor buying decision. I call them the “what the F was I thinking” products. Your focus should be to immediately liquidate these goods as they tie up a significant amount of CASH held in your inventory.
The ABC Analysis Report helps you allocate resources wisely, prioritize inventory management tasks, and optimize your product assortment. For example, A-Items will need more frequent replenishment, while C-Items need to get gone!
Cash Margin Report
The Cash Margin Report is an invaluable (maybe the most valuable) addition to a retailer's inventory management toolkit. Cash Margin as we know it can be defined as the amount of cash remaining from revenue after you have paid for all inventory purchased. I call this your operating cash. Here is an example: If your sales this month are $100,000 and you spent a total of $65,000 on inventory purchases, you will have $35,000 left over to pay ALL of your operating expenses. Is that enough cash OR did you buy more (invest more) than you actually had the ability to sell? Remember, this report doesn’t reflect the cost of goods sold (COGS) but rather the cash you have invested in the entire inventory vs the cost of a single sold item.
Inventory management is a dynamic and essential aspect of retail operations. By using these three vital inventory reports – Stock to Sales Analysis, ABC Analysis, and Cash Margin Reporting – you'll gain a deeper understanding of your inventory's performance, make well-informed decisions, and optimize your stock levels, and drive positive cash back into your bank account where it belongs. I know with these reports in your arsenal, you'll be well-prepared to keep customers satisfied, reduce overspending on inventory, and drive your retail business to even greater success.
In the world of retail, staying competitive means staying up to date with technology. One of the most critical pieces of technology for retailers is the Point of Sale (POS) system. But a good POS system is much more than just a cash register; it's a versatile tool that can transform your business operations. On this week’s podcast, Dan shares the many aspects of a powerful POS system and how it can empower retailers to thrive in a rapidly changing market.
Streamlining Sales Operations
At its core, a POS system is designed to facilitate transactions. It's the place where your customers exchange money for your products. However, a good POS system goes beyond this fundamental function. It streamlines your sales operations, making transactions quicker and more efficient. This leads to a faster checkout process, happier customers, and increased sales.
Inventory Management
At its core, a strong POS system serves as the backbone of your inventory management. It provides real-time updates on stock levels, helping you keep track of what's selling and what's not. This allows you to make informed decisions about restocking, pricing, and even promotions. With a good POS system, you'll never have to worry about overstocking or running out of popular items.
Customer Data Collection
A good POS system collects and stores valuable customer data. From purchase history to contact information, this data can be used to personalize marketing efforts, create loyalty programs, and make better-informed decisions regarding your product selection and pricing. This leads to increased customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Enhanced Reporting and Analytics
In the retail world, data is king. A robust POS system can generate detailed reports and analytics on your sales and customer behaviors. This data can help you identify trends, track the success of marketing campaigns, and make data-driven decisions. With the right information at your fingertips, you will optimize your operations and maximize your profits.
Multi-Channel Integration
In today's retail landscape, it's essential to have a presence both online and offline. A good POS system can integrate with your e-commerce platform, allowing you to sync inventory, manage orders, and provide a seamless shopping experience for your customers, whether they're in your physical store or browsing your website.
Employee Performance
Managing your staff effectively is crucial for success in retail. A good POS system can assist with employee performance, such as key performance indicators like Average Sale, Units Per Transaction, Maintained Margins. We can also glean missed opportunities when we look at data - what didn’t she buy??
Improved Customer Experience
The checkout experience can significantly impact customer satisfaction. With features like quick and secure payment processing, a good POS system makes the checkout process a breeze. This means less time waiting in line and more time for your staff to engage with customers, answer questions, and provide exceptional customer service.
Your POS system is much more than just a cash register; it's the heart of your retail operations. It streamlines sales, enhances inventory management, collects valuable customer data, and provides insights that can drive your business forward. In today's competitive retail landscape, investing in a powerful POS system is not an option – it's a necessity. So, if you want to stay ahead in the retail game and provide the best experience for your customers, it's time to harness the full power of a modern POS system. It's not just a tool; it's the key to your retail success.

Making Smart Buying Decisions: Beyond Vendor Relationships
Building strong connections with vendors, suppliers, and representatives is often considered essential for success. However, too often, retailers make the mistake of basing their buying decisions solely on these relationships, sometimes to their detriment. This week Dan shares why it's crucial to stop making bad buying decisions solely based on vendor relationships and look at a more rational and strategic approach to procurement.
The Pitfalls of Relying Solely on Vendor Relationships:
Over-Buying: One of the most common pitfalls of leaning heavily on vendor relationships is the potential for over-buying. Businesses may choose to order heavier quantities than they have the ability to sell because they have a close relationship with a particular vendor, believing that the relationship will bring better performance. However, this can lead to overspending and negatively impact sales AND the bottom line.
Missed Opportunities: Relying solely on established relationships can blind businesses to better options in the market. Innovation, cost savings, and improved quality might be available from other vendors, but businesses that are fixated on their current relationships can miss out on these opportunities.
Limited Negotiation Power: A strong vendor relationship can sometimes reduce a business's negotiation power. When a business is overly loyal to a vendor, it may feel less inclined to seek out competitive alternatives or negotiate for better terms, thinking that the existing relationship will suffice.
Vendor Dependency: Over-reliance on a single vendor or a select few can lead to vendor dependency. If something goes wrong with a vendor or they change their terms, or their seasonal presentation, your business may find itself in a vulnerable position, without backup plans or alternatives.
Let’s talk about a more strategic approach to buying;
Objective Evaluation: To avoid the pitfalls of relationship-based buying decisions, retailers should start with an objective evaluation of their needs. This involves defining the specific requirements of each category and what factors are most important, such as quality, price-point, and vendor reliability.
Market Research: After identifying your specific categorial needs, conduct market research to explore the full range of available options. This could involve requesting samples from multiple vendors or suppliers, attending trade shows, and consulting online and community reviews, and expert opinions.
Competitive Bidding: Consider implementing competitive bidding processes for significant purchases. This approach encourages vendors to provide their best offers, ensuring your business gets the most competitive pricing and terms to allow better cash management.
Vendor Performance Metrics: Even after selecting a vendor, it's essential to continually assess their performance based on agreed-upon metrics. This ensures that the vendor continues to meet your business's evolving needs and maintains the standards you expect. Look at these 2 key metrics; Cash Margin and Seasonal Sell-Through.
Diversification: To avoid vendor dependency, diversify your vendor base. Having multiple suppliers for critical goods and categories provides a safety net in case one vendor faces difficulties, price increases or poor categorical representation in any given season.
While vendor relationships are extremely valuable and play a crucial role in business, they should not be the sole basis for your buying decisions. By adopting a more strategic and objective approach to buying, you will make well-informed choices that align with your customer’s specific needs and your long-term goals. Remember that the best decisions come from a combination of sound research, competitive analysis, and strong relationships, rather than relying solely on the latter. In doing so, you can steer your business toward more informed, efficient, and cash-profitable buying practices.
As the calendar has turned and a new year has arrived, it's a time for reflection and renewal, a time to embrace fresh beginnings and set your sights on new horizons. In the world of retail, the start of the year presents a perfect opportunity to recite your values, sharpen your focus, and recast your vision for the future. It's the moment to reset your goals and design a roadmap for a successful year ahead. This week, Dan shares the importance of this annual ritual and provides guidance on how to make the most of this transformative time.
Here are my top 6 action items:
- Recite Your Values
Your values are the foundation of your retail enterprise. They are the guiding principles that inform your decisions, interactions, and the overall culture of your business. As you step into the new year, take a moment to reaffirm these values for yourself and with your team. Are they still aligned with your mission and aspirations? Are there any updates or adjustments required? Your values should be a constant, serving as a reliable compass in your ever-changing retail landscape.
- Focus on the Core
In the hustle and bustle of the retail industry, it's easy to get distracted by trends and short-term tactics (shiny things). The beginning of the year is an ideal time to refocus on your core objectives. What is the essence of your retail business? What unique value do you bring to your customers? Concentrating on your core strengths and values can provide clarity and guide your actions throughout the year.
- Reset Your Vision
A compelling vision is like a lighthouse, providing direction and motivation. Visualize where you want your retail business to be by the end of the year and beyond. What do you aspire to achieve? How do you envision the growth and success of your store? Crafting a clear and inspiring vision will serve as a powerful motivator for both you and your team.
- Reset Your Goals
Goals act as stepping stones toward your vision. To start the new year on the right foot, reset your goals. Ensure they are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART). Break them down into smaller, manageable tasks and create an action plan to achieve them. Regularly revisiting and tracking your progress toward these goals will help maintain your focus throughout the year.
- Seek Feedback and Adapt
The retail landscape is constantly evolving. Listen to your customers, your team, and industry trends. Be open to feedback and adapt your strategies as needed. This agility and willingness to change can help your retail business stay relevant and responsive to your customer’s changing habits and needs.
- Nurture Your Team
Your team is a crucial component of your retail success. This year, make it a priority to invest in their growth and well-being. Provide training, recognize their efforts, and create a positive work environment. A motivated and skilled team contributes significantly to your business's success.
The new year marks a fresh chapter in your retail journey, an opportunity to redefine your values, sharpen your focus, and set clear goals. With a compelling vision and a well-thought-out plan, you can navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Embrace the beginning of the year as a chance to renew your commitment to excellence and set your retail business on a path toward success.
Happy New Year and Happy Retailing!

In the fast-paced world of retail, success often hinges on effective leadership. Retail leaders must wear many hats, from managing teams and optimizing operations to adapting to ever-evolving market trends. To excel in this role, having a well-organized calendar is more than just a convenience; it's a powerful tool that can make or break your ability to lead effectively. This week I am sharing the significance, power and, the freedom achieved with a well-organized calendar for retail leaders and how it can pave the way for successful leadership.
Time Management
Time is a precious resource for all retail leaders, and a well-organized calendar is the key to managing it effectively. By setting aside dedicated blocks of time for specific tasks, such as team meetings, inventory management, and client interactions, you can ensure that you have enough time for each essential aspect of your role. Moreover, a structured calendar can help prevent overcommitting and spreading yourself too thin, which leads to burnout and reduced effectiveness.
Prioritization
A retail leader's day is often filled with a multitude of tasks and responsibilities. The ability to prioritize these tasks is vital for success. A well-organized calendar allows you to clearly define your priorities. You can schedule important tasks during your most productive hours and allocate adequate time to tackle them. This ensures that you're addressing critical issues rather than getting bogged down in less important matters.
Goal Setting and Tracking
Successful retail leaders are goal-driven. A well-organized calendar can be a valuable tool for setting, tracking, and achieving your goals. You can schedule regular check-ins to assess your progress and your team’s progress, adjust your strategies as needed, and celebrate your achievements. This approach helps keep you on the path to success and allows you to make data-driven decisions to improve your retail operations.
Collaboration and Communication
Retail leadership often involves coordinating with teams, suppliers, and other stakeholders. Your calendar is your central hub for scheduling meetings, training sessions, and collaboration opportunities. By keeping your calendar well-organized, you can ensure that everyone is on the same page and that communication flows smoothly. This helps prevent misunderstandings and enhances teamwork.
Adaptation to Market Trends
The retail landscape is constantly evolving. Retail leaders need to stay on top of emerging trends and adjust their strategies accordingly. Your calendar can be your ally in this process. By setting aside time for research, industry events, and networking, you can stay informed and be prepared to adapt to market changes swiftly.
Work-Life Balance - its just Balance
Retail leadership can be demanding, and it's easy to become consumed by work. A well-organized calendar can also help you maintain a healthy balance. By scheduling personal time, leisure activities, and family commitments, you ensure that your life outside of work remains fulfilling. A balanced leader is often a more effective and resilient leader. Adding your personal commitments to your ONE calendar also means you never miss a meeting or more importantly a hockey practice or a dance recital.
In the dynamic world of retail, effective leadership is essential for success. A well-organized calendar is not just a scheduling tool or an assistant; it's a powerful instrument that empowers retail leaders to manage their time, set and track goals, prioritize tasks, and maintain a healthy work-life balance. By leveraging the potential of a well-organized calendar, retail leaders can excel in their roles, adapt to market trends, and drive their businesses towards greater success. So, if you're a retail leader looking to enhance your leadership capabilities, start by optimizing your calendar and witness the transformation it can bring to your leadership journey.

In our fast-paced, digitally connected world, email has become an integral part of our daily lives. We receive countless messages, newsletters, and notifications, leaving our inboxes often cluttered and overwhelming. Yet, there is something profoundly satisfying about achieving the elusive goal of an empty email inbox. Beyond the satisfaction, an empty inbox holds a surprising amount of power, affecting productivity, mental well-being, and overall quality of life. Dan opens up about his own practices of maintaining an empty inbox and the power it enables.
The Zen of an Empty Inbox
Achieving inbox zero is more than just a tidy workspace for your digital correspondence. It's a symbol of order, clarity, and control in a world that can often feel chaotic. When your inbox is empty, you can breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that all your emails have been addressed and nothing is left to slip through the cracks.
In addition to the Zen, there are other significant benefits of an empty inbox;
Enhanced Productivity
A cluttered inbox is a constant source of distraction. Every unread email competes for your attention, making it difficult to focus on what's truly important. When your inbox is empty, you can concentrate on tasks and projects without the constant ping of incoming emails pulling you in different directions. If you are that person that can be completely oblivious to the little red dot that signifies unread emails, what else are you oblivious to?
Reduced Stress
A crowded inbox can be a significant source of stress and anxiety. Unanswered emails, especially those labeled as "urgent," can weigh heavy on your mind, even when you're not actively checking your inbox. Achieving an empty inbox can provide a sense of relief, reducing the mental load and promoting a more relaxed state of mind.
Better Organization
An empty inbox is a reflection of your ability to manage your digital life effectively. I encourage you to organize emails into folders or labels, enabling you to find important information quickly when needed. This organization can save you time and improve your overall efficiency.
Improved Communication
When your inbox is cluttered, it's easy to miss important emails or forget to respond to them. An empty inbox ensures that you're on top of your communication, fostering better relationships and professional interactions.
Here are my top strategies to maintain an empty inbox:
Set Up Filters and Folders: Automate the organization of your emails by creating filters that sort messages into specific folders or labels. This way, your inbox remains uncluttered, and you can easily locate emails when needed.
Unsubscribe and Declutter: Regularly review and unsubscribe from newsletters and promotional emails that you no longer find valuable. Delete or archive emails that are no longer relevant, and only keep the ones that require your attention.
Use the Two-Minute Rule: If an email can be addressed in two minutes or less, deal with it immediately (during your pre-scheduled email time). This prevents quick tasks from piling up and taking valuable space in your inbox.
Schedule Email Time: Set specific times during the day to check and respond to emails. Avoid constantly checking your inbox, as this can be a major productivity drain. Try looking at emails 3 times a day; early AM, mid-Day and late afternoon before you “check out” for the day. An empty inbox and the end of the day is VERY satisfying.
Prioritize: Use labels or flags to prioritize emails, so you know which ones require your immediate attention and which can wait.
An empty email inbox is not just a digital dream; it's a powerful tool that can enhance your productivity!

In the world of retail, understanding your customers and their behavior is a crucial component of success. One of the most valuable tools in achieving this understanding is traffic counting in your store. This data-driven approach has the potential to transform your business by providing insights into customer behavior, helping optimize operations, and enhancing the overall shopping experience. In this week’s blog, Dan explores the power of counting traffic in your store and how it can drive improvements and profitability.
The Sales Formula:
Your total sales at any given time, in any given period can be broken down by simple math; Traffic multiplied by your conversion, multiplied by your average sale equals your total sales. And while conversion and average sale are ultra-impactful in growing your sales volume, I would argue that understanding your traffic has a significant consequential impact to both the top line performance and the more-important bottom line (profitability) in your store.
Here are my key take-aways as it relates to counting traffic in your store:
Understanding Customer Behavior
Counting traffic in your store allows you to gain valuable insights into customer behavior. By tracking the number of people entering your store at different times and days, you can identify trends, peak hours, and slow periods. This information is invaluable for scheduling staff, planning promotions, and optimizing your inventory.
Staff Scheduling and Optimization
Traffic counting enables you to make data-driven decisions when it comes to staff scheduling. Instead of guessing how many employees you need during busy hours, you can use historical traffic data to allocate resources more efficiently. This not only improves customer service but also reduces labor costs during slower times. In busier periods, knowing your traffic will allow you to staff your store to maximize opportunity instead of leaving your guests unattended and feeling insignificant.
Enhancing Customer Experience
A well-organized store with the right number of staff members during peak hours can significantly enhance the customer experience. It minimizes wait times and maximizes customer attention. A positive shopping experience will result in repeat business and customer loyalty.
Targeted Promotions
Counting traffic allows you to better target your marketing efforts. By knowing when your store is busiest, you can schedule promotions and special events during these times to maximize their impact. Additionally, you can analyze the effectiveness of these campaigns by tracking changes in traffic patterns before and after promotional periods.
Inventory Management
Managing inventory effectively is a key concern for any retailer. By understanding customer traffic, you can more accurately predict demand, reduce overstocking, and decrease the likelihood of understocking popular items. This results in better cash flow and reduced inventory costs.
Location Optimization
If you have multiple locations, traffic counting can help you evaluate the performance of each store. You can determine which locations have the highest foot traffic and sales, allowing you to make informed decisions about expansion, renovation, or potential store closures.
Data-Driven Decision Making
Overall, counting traffic in your store empowers you to make data-driven decisions. In a world increasingly dominated by e-commerce, having access to in-store data is a competitive advantage. You can stay agile, respond quickly to market changes, and tailor your offerings to meet your customer demand more effectively.
Counting traffic in your store is not just about numbers; it's about empowering your business with valuable insights. By understanding customer behavior, optimizing staff scheduling, enhancing the shopping experience, and making data-driven decisions, you can take your retail business to the next level.

In the world of retail, the way you meet and engage with your guests can have a profound impact on their overall experience. Understanding the differences between greeting guests in your store and meeting guests can help you tailor your approach to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. This week Dan delves into the distinctions between these two scenarios and explores how they can impact customer experience.
Greeting Guests in Your Store
Greeting customers in a store is primarily transactional. Your primary goal is to provide them with assistance, information, and guidance related to their shopping experience.
The Setting: Greeting typically takes place in a crowded space. The store's layout, merchandise, and displays play a significant role in setting the tone for the interaction.
Attire: You and your employees should be dressed in attire consistent with the store's brand, which creates a professional and approachable image.
Initiating Interaction: Employees in a store often approach guests proactively. They may offer assistance or ask questions to gauge the customer's needs and preferences.
Focus: The focus of the interaction is on the product or service the customer is interested in. The employee's role is to facilitate the purchase or answer questions related to the items available.
Courtesy and Efficiency: Politeness and efficiency are key. Store employees aim to ensure a smooth shopping experience, which includes checkout and bagging.
Now let’s shift to meeting guests
Meeting guests is often more relational. The aim is to build a connection, offer hospitality, and create a welcoming environment.
The Initiating Interaction: In a personal setting like your home, guests are often greeted at the door. The interaction is typically initiated by the host and you may offer a hug, handshake, or a welcoming gesture. Why would this be any different in your Retail home? You may need to replace the handshake or hug with a warm smile to avoid an awkward encounter but the sentiment remains - connection is key.
The Focus: The focus of meeting guests is on building connections and making them feel at ease. It requires conversation, maybe offering refreshments, and always ensuring guest comfort.
Personalized Experience: Meeting guests offers the opportunity for more personalization, as the sales associate can tailor the conversation and in-store experience to the guests' preferences and needs.
Key Takeaways
Understanding the differences between greeting guests in your store and meeting guests is essential for providing the best possible experience in each scenario. While I much prefer the latter, in busy holiday periods, we may need to revert to a strong greeting approach. Either way, you and your team need to be Context-Aware; recognize the setting and the timing of the interaction, and tailor your approach accordingly.
Offer Personalization: Personalized interactions can go a long way in making guests feel special and valued in your store.
Maintain Professionalism: In your store, professionalism is crucial, and warmth and authenticity are equally important in building good relationships with your guests..
Focus on Building Relationships: While both greeting and meeting aim to provide a positive experience, the emphasis in your store must be on building and nurturing relationships. Adjusting your (and their) approach is key to enhancing the guest experience leaving a lasting positive impression that brings the now client back time and time again.
Happy Retailing!

Is your team ready? Do they have the tools they need to win this holiday season? On this week’s podcast Dan expands one of his favourite topics... The Wealthy Retailer’s Selling System is a comprehensive approach that ensures every guest in your store receives an equal and specified level of service. This system is designed to provide a consistent and high-quality experience, ultimately leading to higher sales and greater customer satisfaction.
The 6 Steps to Sales Success:
Step 1: Meeting and Engaging your Guest
This is the first critical step in the Selling System. It involves welcoming each guest with a warm and friendly greeting as they enter your store. The goal is to create a positive first impression and make the guest feel comfortable and valued. Engaging the guest involves active listening and observing their body language and cues. This initial interaction sets the tone for the entire shopping experience.
Step 2: Understanding Their Needs
Once you've engaged with the guest, the next step is to begin uncovering and understanding their specific needs. This involves asking open-ended questions to uncover their preferences, requirements, and any challenges they may be facing. The more information you gather, the better you can tailor your recommendations to meet their individual needs.
Step 3: Presenting a Total Solution
With a clear understanding of your guest's needs, you can now present a total solution. This means showcasing products that directly address the guest's requirements. The key is to provide a comprehensive and well-rounded solution that offers value and meets their expectations. In your store, this always includes showing complementary items or explaining how a product can fulfill their needs.
Step 4: Handling their Objections (including budget)
During the presentation of the total solution, it's common for guests to raise objections or concerns. These objections could be related to the product's features, pricing, or any doubts they may have. In this step, the retailer should be prepared to handle objections skillfully. This involves addressing concerns, providing additional information, and reassuring the guest. When budget constraints are a concern, offering flexible payment options or alternatives can be explored.
Step 5: Closing the Sale
Closing the sale is a crucial part of every Selling System. After addressing objections and ensuring that the guest is satisfied with the solution, it's time to ask for the sale. This step requires confidence and effective communication. It can involve statements or questions that encourage the guest to make a purchasing decision. Closing the sale is the culmination of a successful sales process.
Step 6: Follow Up
The final step in this system is the follow-up. After the sale has been made, it's essential to maintain a strong connection with the now Client. This can involve sending thank-you notes, gathering feedback, and keeping them informed about future promotions or offerings. Building a long-term relationship with customers is a hallmark of successful retail businesses.
By consistently following these steps, the Wealthy Retailer's Selling System ensures that each guest receives personalized attention, leading to higher customer satisfaction, increased sales, and loyal, repeat customers. This system not only benefits the customer but also enhances the retailer's reputation and profitability.

In our ultra fast-paced world of retail, the words "serving" and "helping" customers might seem like they're used interchangeably, but there's a profound difference between the two approaches. While helping customers is undoubtedly important, focusing onserving elevates the shopping experience to new heights. On this week’s podcast, Dan explores the distinction between serving and helping customers and discusses the positive impacts of a store that prioritizes service above all else.
Serving vs. Helping: What's the Difference? Helping customers is about providing assistance when they seek it. It's reactive, transactional, and often goal-oriented. For example, a store associate helps a customer find a specific product, answers questions, or processes a purchase. It's essential and a fundamental part of retail, but it doesn't always create a memorable experience.
Serving customers, on the other hand, is a proactive, holistic approach. It goes beyond simply addressing immediate needs and focuses on providing an exceptional overall experience. When you serve a customer, you anticipate their needs, offer personalized recommendations, and ensure they leave the store feeling valued and satisfied.
Positive Impacts of a Store Focused on Service Above Self
Customer Loyalty: A store that prioritizes serving itscustomers creates a loyal customer base. When customers feel genuinely cared for and appreciated, they're more likely to return. They become regulars, even advocates, who share their positive experiences with friends and family.
Increased Sales: Excellent service often leads to increased sales. When customers have a memorable, enjoyable experience, they're more likely to make additional purchases or choose higher-priced items. Service-focused stores see a direct correlation between quality service and revenue growth.
Brand Reputation: A store that consistently serves its customers builds a strong, positive reputation. Word of mouth travels fast, anda good reputation can draw in new customers while maintaining existing ones. This reputation will become your competitive advantage in the market.
Employee Satisfaction: Employees in a service-oriented storetend to be more engaged and satisfied with their work. They see the direct impact of their efforts on customer happiness, which can be incredibly motivating. Happy employees are more likely to stay, reducing turnover and training costs.
Problem Resolution: In serving customers, issues and complaints are addressed quickly and effectively. This not only resolves problems but also turns unhappy customers into satisfied ones. It's an opportunity to show that your store truly cares about its customers.
Personalized Experiences: By focusing on serving, stores cancollect data and insights about individual customer preferences. This allows the customization of future interactions and recommendations, creating a more personal shopping experience.
Community Engagement: A store that serves its customersoften extends its services to the community. This may include events, workshops, or charitable initiatives. Engaging with the community builds a deeper connection with customers and fosters a sense of belonging.
Future-Proofing: In an era where e-commerce is growing,service-oriented stores have an advantage. They provide an in-person experience that online retailers cannot match. This approach helps to future-proof the business against the continued rise of digital shopping.

In the dynamic world of retail, success isn't solely dependent on innate talent. While talent can be a valuable asset, it's often the less tangible qualities that set individuals and businesses apart. On this week’s episode, Dan shares 10 essential elements of retail success that require no special talent but will make a world of difference in a retailer's journey to triumph.
-
Be On Time -Punctuality is a cornerstone of reliability and professionalism. Being on time shows respect for your customers, colleagues, and your business. It sets a positive tone for all interactions.
-
Work Ethic -Your work ethic reflects your commitment to achieving the goals you set. It's about putting in the effort, staying focused, and consistently giving your best, regardless of your skill level.
-
Effort - Effort is the application of energy towards achieving a goal. It's a choice anyone can make, regardless of their inherent abilities. Dedication and hard work can compensate for lack of talent.
-
Body Language - Non-verbal communication is a very powerful tool. Your body language, including eye contact, posture, and facial gestures, can convey confidence and approachability, making a significant impact on colleague and client interactions.
-
Energy - Positive energy is contagious. Exuding enthusiasm, optimism, and vigor creates a welcoming atmosphere and fosters a connection with your team and your customers.
-
Attitude - A positive attitude turns challenges into opportunities. It influences how you approach problems, setbacks, and difficult situations. The rising tide that lifts all boats is ALL about your perspective and your attitude.
-
Passion - Passion is an inner drive that fuels a desire for happiness and success. It's the enthusiasm and love for what you do that inspires your team and attracts loyal customers.
-
Being Coachable - Successful retailers are open to learning and growth. Being coachable means being receptive to feedback and willing to adapt and improve.
-
Doing More - Going the extra mile sets you apart in the retail world. Providing exceptional service and going beyond what's expected creates the purest form of customer loyalty.
-
Being Prepared - Preparation is a key to success. It includes staying organized, anticipating your team’s and your customer’s needs ensuring you're ready to provide needed solutions. Being well-prepared makes all interactions smoother and more efficient.
In conclusion, talent maybe a bonus, but it's not the foundation of retail success. The 10 qualities listed above require no special talent but can make a remarkable difference in your retail journey (and your team’s journey). These qualities form the building blocks of a successful retail business (or career). By focusing on these attributes, you will set yourself on the path to achieving your retail aspirations, building a strong reputation, and gaining the trust and loyalty of customers and colleagues alike. Success in retail is within your reach, and it's not dependent on talent alone, but on your dedication to cultivating these essential traits.
Happy Retailing!

Bob Negen founded the Mackinaw Kite Co., a small chain of specialty toy and kite stores, in 1981 when he was only 23 years old. He had just graduated from college, didn’t want to get a “real job” and loved flying kites.

In 1999 he and his wife Susan founded WhizBang! Training, and they continue to help independent retailers thrive in today’s super-competitive market.
Bob says “no matter what you sell the secret to success is to give your customers the kind of experience that makes your business memorable and parlaying that first experience into a highly profitable long-term relationship.”

The global retail industry suffers from $100B in shrink — financial loss due to missing revenue, wasted inventory, stolen goods, or improper accounting — every year. It historically has been a major pain point for retailers. To combat this issue, retailers have begun to implement various loss prevention strategies, including video surveillance and additional policies to control the shrink. While most retailers have seen success from these measures, in particular, large retailers are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to support their efforts. By embracing these advanced technologies, retailers can predict fraudulent behaviour in the forms of shoplifting, internal theft, administrative errors, and more. Therefore, providing a more proactive approach to reduce retail shrink and loss. Topher Cramm with Stanley Security discusses why shrinkage is increasing and how AI can help mitigate the problem.

Why should you take a vacation? This may seem like a “DUH” question, but the truth is, too many entrepreneurs, especially retail entrepreneurs don’t take enough time away from their business to reenergize, regain objectivity and reignite their passion. We are consumed with what we want and need OR what we are missing and not achieving; we keep our heads down and try to push forward - that push forward is often against what seems like a brick wall or as we learn from EOS, a glass ceiling… Vacation (or any time off for that matter) is not about gaining clarity as we know in our retail world, clarity comes from action not disconnection. This is all about rejuvenation of your mindset. And, rewarding yourself for putting it all on the line every day!
As a life-long serial entrepreneur, I have used every excuse imaginable not to take time away from my business. Every “vacation” I have ever taken includes work time, email, and text responses and too often trying to run my business from a far. And while I still might be looking at the odd email or sending a smile or thumbs up to a text or slack message – I am mostly disconnected from my business and my team, and I have this enormous sense of comfort that I have never had being away. AND I am excited to get back with renewed determination to crush my (and your) goals!
So, how did this happen? Some will say it is because I am letting go of the vine (another EOSism) but the truth is, I let go of the vine a LONG time ago; while I was IN the office not while I was away. My team is empowered, accountable and scoring goals for themselves and their teammates every day. This comes from a culture of ownership, clarity and being fully supported by their leadership team and each other.
Here are 3 tips to help you switch on your “out of office” light….
1. Empower you team to make decisions today. Support their decisions with positive criticism guiding them to become better critical thinkers, acting on behalf or in favour of the lifetime value of your customer and then your business. Never in any other order!!
2. Hold yourself accountable to getting your to dos to done! You must stop procrastinating – it is the enemy of all success. Vacations don’t happen for the unsuccessful in our world. Create your own accountabilities and demonstrate this to your team. Remember, as you go, they go.
3. Recognize this; all your sh!t will be there waiting for you when you get back. Only now you will have a renewed and probably healthier perspective and what you thought was a big issue is now just an everyday opportunity to be a little better.
You need to take time away from your business if you are going to have any chance of taking it to the next level.

As I look at my own business and measure CX, I use this podcast guest as my benchmark.

Listen to this rewind and ask yourself, is her experience in my stores’ everything I want it to be. Remember, her experience outweighs expense…

There is an old myth that says we only use 10% of our brain and while this myth has been debunked by many neurologists, there may still be some truth there… As a 30-year-old POS company we know that retailers do in fact fail when it comes to using the full power of their POS system, the brain behind their business.
In this week’s podcast Dan shares 3 strategies to better utilizing that brain to mine the diamonds buried in your point of sale system and turn them into cold hard CASH!
1 – Markdown merchandise is purchased by only a select percentage of your audience; 30% of your customers ONLY buy merchandise that is on sale! Conversely, 30% of your client base never buys clearance merchandise. Here’s how to uncover your Sale Seagulls… Run a sales report by customer and gross margin. The clients that land below your median margin ARE your target markdown/clearance customers. Think about how important this segment of your audience truly is to your business – they buy your junk! More importantly they can help you maintain a clean inventory. A clean, fresh inventory is how we drive growth in your business.
2 – Size-Drill-Down reporting can uncover HUGE opportunities. Too often your inventory and consequentially your open-to-buy get clogged up with shoulder sizes. Begin with running an on hand report by category and size; identify the excess and then run a report by customer and size and align your excess in sizing to the right customer.
3 – Customer Win-Back Campaigns drive return purchases. Customers that haven’t purchased from you recently but have in the past represent 30% of your target traffic today!! Think about your in-store traffic (physical or digital) and break it down like this: 30-40% of your traffic comers from brand marketing (these are NEW customers to your business). 20-30% are referral customers (these are new customers that have been referred to your store from one of your existing customers (Ambassadors). 30-40% percent are RETURN customers (meaning, they have purchased from you in the past). The opportunity here is to identify those customers who have been absent from your store for a period of time and invite them back in. This can be done automatically with a simple “we miss you” email. If you are running a Shopify e-store, Privy is one of the best conversion platforms available including cross-selling, email captures, on-screen interactions and a customer win back module. Each of these components integrate directly with your customer base and your Shopify store.

Customer Loyalty should be earned not BOUGHT!!
When you 'google' the word loyal, the definition is 'giving or showing firm and constant support or allegiance to a person, institution or brand'. ... Loyalty is genuinely having their best interests at heart and ensuring that relationship is reciprocal. So, before we add expense to our business building or adding a loyalty program that will more than likely try to BUY loyalty rather than earn it. Let’s ask ourselves “how do we inspire a strong feeling of support or allegiance from both our external and internal customers” Buying customer loyalty is fine as long as you’re willing to lose them to a higher bidder… Hence why loyalty should not be bought but rather earned.
Let’s think about how we inspire loyalty with our team or employees. They become loyal through inclusion, recognition, respect, they make a difference and of course trust. Why do we treat or think about customers differently?

Dan put it into high retail gear with Jon Wynn from Gear Up For Outdoors this week. Join the conversation as they talk outdoor retail, inventory, discounts and more.
Jon Wynn was born and raised in Toronto and went to a boy’s private school… He experienced the North as a Junior Ranger in 1976 and decided he wanted to pursue a carrier in Forestry instead of following the way of business and marketing as his dad who graduated from McGill.
He worked for a Forestry & Environmental Supply company after graduating as their sales manager out of Mississauga travelling his territory of Ontario and the Lake States of Minnesota, Michigan & Wisconsin.
Jon met his wife Sandra in Toronto, and they were married in 1982. The Company he worked for wanted to set up a physical office in Northern Ontario so at the tender age of 25 they decided to move from Toronto and set up a partnership with his old boss in Thunder Bay.
They moved and set up their business in 1987 selling forestry equipment, and some outdoor camping gear. After 6 months of business and a tremendous loss of revenue he decided to pull out of the partnership leaving his wife and him with a rather large “LIFE” decision… Do they quit and come back home? Or do they Continue with their dream with No Family, no Connections and no Financing.
They contacted an accounting firm and a lawyer and with the help of a Federal Government Program for Small Business (CFDC – Community Futures Development Corporation – Thunder Bay Ventures – Eventually they were able to obtain financing and buy out their partner… They were on their own…
They survived the early years due to their great relationships with their suppliers. Today they still have incredible relationships with all these suppliers who helped them out in their hour of need.
Over 10 to 15 years they survived selling quality outdoor products throughout Northwestern Ontario in particular Thunder Bay in their 4000 sq. foot bricks and mortar store and they eventually obtained a line of credit from the bank, and this kept them going for many years.
The years were very difficult especially during the winter months when they did not have enough snow on the ground and some very warm winters.
One day in 2005 one of their young staff members suggested that they should go on the internet… The Internet? He had no idea what the internet was. He said you should sell to tree planters, selling tree planting bags, shovels and gear… As most young students who were in university were
working as Tree Planters and they all had access to computers. Wow… What a novel concept. The results were huge, coupled with securing a new Vendor out of Toronto… You may have heard of them… CANADA GOOSE. They did some research and contacted a computer programmer in Thunder Bay who had started a business selling computers, software and was just focusing and pioneering with the Internet. They took his advice and worked hand in hand as a test case for selling-on line.
It was the perfect time and they had designed a customized website, and everything was done by hand… cutting, pasting onto their own platform. Many long hours of writing descriptions, putting up images and putting up products on a seasonal basis.
They were Canada Goose’s largest on-line dealer selling millions of dollars’ worth of Canada Goose products into Europe, North America was not even on the radar at that time. They were pioneers in the early 2000’s selling on-line and learning along the way about fraud and shipping into countries around the world.
The Internet changed over the past 10 years with everyone getting on to the “NEW” Platform of Selling… Canada Goose eventually designed their own website and started putting restrictions on Gear Up Selling into Europe and eventually forced them into selling in Canada Only.
They had the products and the brands that many military organizations, Utility Companies and Government Agencies were looking for. Their business grew substantially, and they had a

A conversation from the retail front lines. Dan chatted one on one with Tammy Beideman of Sweet Elizabeth Jane. They’re a vintage-inspired lifestyle store where you can shop for clothing, accessories, home goods and fun gifts.
They were founded in 2011, in Ellicott City, Maryland. Sweet Elizabeth Jane is named after Tammy’s two grandmothers, Elizabeth and Jane. Their mission has always been to create an experience on Main Street for the community and to be a welcoming place where people gather making friends with us and each other. Shopping there is just a part of the experience!
SEJ was originally located in the amazing Caplan Department Store Building. Caplan’s had huge store windows and they used them to light up the town. Their location, in the middle of Main Street, over the Tiber, was perfect for hosting events and bringing lots of people into the heart of the town. It was a wonderful experience and they’ve made lots of unforgettable memories there.
Following a catastrophic flood that destroyed the town in 2016, SEJ relocated to the top of Main Street. Their new home is also a historic building-the former Ellicott City Motor Company. It was quickly restored and remodelled so that SEJ could have a new home in time for the 2016 holiday season, making it possible for them to stay on Main Street.
They’re inspired by their customers to keep doing what they love- creating experiences that keep Main Street thriving and open for Business! They are passionate about telling great merchandise stories that shining a light into your everyday. So go visit Tammy and the Apronologists!

A great retail conversation with Marc Beerling this week. Marc is a retailer with 15 years experience in retail.
In 2005, he started his own store after 3 years managing someone else's, in a small Canadian city. Offering Mens and Ladies Contemporary as well as Lifestyle, Denim and Footwear, over the years he grew the operation to a footprint of 18,000 sq feet and peak sales just south of 3 million annually.
But something was always missing....mainly, cash in the bank. After years of struggle, never having enough cash, struggling to take a paycheque and sometimes struggling to make payroll, moving locations several times, enduring a fire, fighting lease disputes that ended up in court, coming through not one but two major economic recessions, (very oil and gas based community), he at long last discovered the golden key of merchandise planning.
All of a sudden, the missing pieces began to fall into place, the reasons for cash flow struggles became apparent and the writing was illuminated on the proverbial wall. He was doing it wrong!

We found this one really interesting, a young entrepreneur who re-launched a dormant boutique store that she had worked at before. Why she did do that instead of starting anew formed part of the discussion.

A story about an entrepreneur taking the big chance and seeing their business double in size in 2020 plus take on a couple of pivots into new business opportunity.

A great honour for a great retailer! Dan chats about ‘The Duke of Danforth!’ The story really makes you think. When it comes to your store and your community, what are you the Duke or Duchess of?
The next story we talked about was a missed opportunity for many businesses that could be competing with Amazon on price, but have stubbornly refused to join the 21st century. Attention is brought to the fact that in many instances, Amazon’s prices are often not all that competitive.
A story about cult retail! What do you think of when you hear the term Cult Retail Store? We chatted about the passion this entrepreneur has brought to her business and how that passion is building a cult following of customers.
And finally, a new take on an old topic of buying online, pick up in store. A story that shares the 4 BOPIS and Curb-side Pickup Personas that you and your team need to know.
Dan also shares some great insight about buying for your store as he answers the most recent retailer question.

Hey everyone, Dan here. I am embodying a bulldog right now as he is the version of ourselves we NEED.
We must be courageous, strong, stubborn and tenacious to make our way through this disruption to our livelihoods.
Join me for a few valuable minutes as I discuss:
The first step in your retail recovery begins with understanding and perfecting the omni-channel experience in your business.
Vendor Grading, as simple as A, B, C. I am asked everyday how do I grade my vendors?
What we do know and do not know as we plan to reopen our stores.
Rent relief and lots more!
If you have a question for the bulldog, drop it below or shoot an email to dan@thewealthyretailer.com and the bulldog will answer it.

We were very thankful to have Bob on the podcast to discuss ways that retailers can start thinking about recovery and the steps to get through this challenging time.
Bob Negen founded the Mackinaw Kite Co., a small chain of specialty toy and kite stores, in 1981 when he was only 23 years old. He had just graduated from college, didn’t want to get a “real job” and loved flying kites.
It didn’t take long for him to realize that his passion for his product was not enough to make him profitable and he then spent the next twenty years learning how to be a successful merchant. He made more mistakes than you can shake a stick at, but manage to survive and earn the status of “battle tested retail veteran”.
In 1999 he and his wife Susan founded WhizBang! Training to help independent retailers thrive in today’s super-competitive market.
Bob says “no matter what you sell the secret to success is to give your customers the kind of experience that makes your business memorable and parlaying that first experience into a highly profitable long-term relationship”.
Bob and his wife Susan are recognized as leading retail experts, are the creators of both the acclaimed Retail Mastery System, The Retail Sales Academy and the Retail Success Summit. Bob is a well know retail keynote speaker and trainer and has given over a 1000 speeches in 50 different retail industries.

Having so much respect and admiration for Ashley, it was a real pleasure to have her join us on the Wealthy Retailer podcast. This was a very timely and thought provoking discussion at a time when our retail community needs new inspiration and guidance.
The Boutique Hub Founder Ashley Alderson first started The Hub based on her desire to shop boutiques around the world, regardless of her rural location.
Hailing from North Dakota where her nearest shopping opportunity was over 300 miles away, she longed for a place online she could go to find and shop the boutiques she loved together in one place.
What happened next was pretty exciting.
Once launched, Ashley’s formal background in small business development and marketing began to foster a deeper community at the Hub. Ashley noticed that these owners she featured needed a greater voice in fashion, specialized coaching and training, and a central point to connect, collaborate, share tips and find tools to grow their businesses.
Today, Ashley passionately leads The Hub and it’s two sides of its platform, while still coaching and mentoring many boutique owners, and being an advocate for small businesses in fashion.
She is a wife, busy momma of 3, jewelry junkie, barrel racer, cancer survivor, speaker of sarcasm, and heart for those with a dream.

We had a great conversation with Laura Oladokun, owner of Sweet Boutique and learned about her journey into the world of retail.
As a mother of 5 and after 15 years of raising her kids while caring for other children at home, she was encouraged by a friend, some luck and a leap of faith which brought her into the retail world. She felt St. Albert was lacking a boutique for every woman, and Sweet Boutique was created.
Sweet Boutique was established in 2014 as a shop for women to find on-trend, casual clothing as well as accessories and jewellery to complete the look. It has expanded to include all-natural apothecary and children's wear. We strive to find quality pieces that fit every budget and every body, carrying regular and plus sizes. All of our clothing is comfortable, flattering and made of the softest fabrics available. Jewellery is sourced from local designers and the apothecary section is the best we could find in natural hair, body and skin care.

We tiptoed into a different retail category with an energetic conversation with Rob Tryon, the owner of Effing Seafoods (great name!)
So much fun as we learned about his start, their time at farmer's markets, starting brick and mortar retail operations, subscription services and more. Join us for this one, you won't be disappointed.
ABOUT: Rob Tryon has been surrounded by the ocean and seafood since birth. In fact, he’s convinced that salt water runs through his veins.
His personal connection to the seafood and fishing industry sets him apart from the rest. His entrepreneurial drive paired with his education in fisheries and aquaculture, and experience in commercial fishing and oyster farming makes his business, Effing Seafoods, a force to be reckoned with.
So, what’s the story behind “Effing” Seafoods? When Rob was shellfish farming, he was looking for a unique way to brand his oysters. They were grown in a small inlet called Effingham Inlet, Barkley Sound, just off the West Coast of Vancouver Island.
Because of this, he dubbed them "Effing Oysters". Just like that, the name immediately began to draw attention from chefs, seafood buyers, foodies and the general public. He not only saw an impressive increase in sales, but started being approached by many for online interviews and promotional videos.
To this day, after being out of the industry for years, he still gets recognized as the Effing Oyster guy.
He’s carving out that same name in the Edmonton area too!
An unbeatable drive and passion for his trade has catapulted him into the public spotlight as a seafood and fish purveyor that the city has never seen before.

We had an amazing chat with Leanne as we learned about her entrepreneurial journey to starting her new retail store Simone & Ivy.
Leanne currently resides in St. Albert, Alberta with her husband and 3 teenage girls where she owns Simone & Ivy - Beautiful Living. Simone & Ivy is a "everything interior" store based around interior design & decorating, window fashions, retail and a beautiful floral studio.
Leanne's love for interior decor began in 2008 when she started a small home based window covering company in Regina, Saskatchewan - which quickly grew to one of the largest franchises in North America! She attributes the companies success to her love for helping people get excited about their home - and most importantly - about making the process FUN!
Leanne deeply believes that connection and contribution to her community is the most rewarding aspect of owning a local business, and strives to listen daily to how she can best serve her customers.

What a great retail conversation Dan had with Lindsay Hedstrom, owner of Bella Maas Boutique. She shared her humble beginnings as she found her way into the world of retail.
She bought the business almost ten years ago and has gone through all of the challenges and successes that retail provides.
Lindsay wants to laugh as hard as she works and considering she's the woman being a business that's grown into a powerful, community driven brand - she should be all smiles, all the time.
She's taken her success and used it to fuel her passion for giving back and supporting her community.

Janel is nothing if not authentic! She loves helping people feel great and her passion for doing so has been the driving force behind her love of retail operations, which was sparked when her retail journey officially began in the 1990’s.
Although Janel’s formal education is not in retail, she was always drawn back to it. She dabbled in making people feel great through fashion, giftware and home goods retail, while attending university as well as while working at her full-time career. Janel spent over a decade in academia, where she honed her skills in data analysis. Although she had an incredible career, something was still missing. Her fire for helping people and making a difference needed to be lit.
After returning home from an epic three month sabbatical to South America, Janel’s fire was stronger than ever! She worked tirelessly for over a year on her business plan (and manual labour), and in 2010 Janel opened Hye Fashion, Edmonton’s premiere destination offering style for every height!
As a specialty retailer serving an incredibly unique demographic, Janel has been faced with countless challenges that most retailers never see...and she is grateful for them. She always views obstacles as opportunities to make her a better retailer (and an even better retail business coach)!
As a result of her experiences with her own business coaches, Janel was inspired to help people in another way - retailers face challenges unlike any other businesses and with Janel’s real-world experience, she was inspired to share her experiences with other retailers to help ease their journeys.
In 2016, Janel became a certified Management One Affiliate and Retail Business Coach. Since then Janel has proudly partnered with retailers across North America to help them free up cash, create marketing plans, develop merchandising strategies, solve staffing challenges, improve vendor relations and ultimately, help those who operate retail businesses fall back in love with what they do!
In 2019, Janel founded Authentic Consulting Group, where she uses her genuine personality and real-world experience to help inspire retailers to implement realistic, effective strategies that operate their businesses more efficiently and profitably.

We had an informative retail chat with Brad Leyden, owner and President of Revolution Boutique.
Born and raised in Edmonton, Brad now resides in Sherwood Park. He always was an entrepreneur. Even as a kid, he had a lot of self-employed relatives as mentors that sparked that entrepreneurial fire.
With only his first year of business administration at NAIT and the fact that he never worked a day in retail, he opened his first store in Sherwood Park. It was actually his ex-wife’s idea!
He truly believes that everyone has a calling and the best part of his business is that when he wakes up in the morning, he couldn’t imagine himself doing anything else.
He enjoys golf, the pursuit of a private pilot’s licence and hanging out with his two beautiful daughters Emma and Abby.
