I provide consulting services to independent companies seeking advice/assistance on organizational structures, financial management, manpower planning, succession planning, inventory improvement performance, market share growth, competitive shopping and many other operational training requirements. I have over 34 years experience in the Retail Sector. Positions I have held in those years consist of Store Management, Operational Management, Franchise and Business Development and Senior Management. I have valuable business skills I know will benefit your organization.

I have developed and facilitated training seminars for groups and individual store locations on Financial Management, inventory Management and Competing in Today's Retail Environment. I developed a Manager In Training Program to train individuals to become business owners and operators. This program was so successful, it is now being used to train for successions planning in a large Lumber and Building Supply Business in New Zealand.

My best work is achieved when working at individual store locations. I can give the owners and their staff the time and attention required to produce profitable and desirable results. In contrast to other consultants, I do not just analyze the business and develop a report for the owner to follow. Rather, I insist upon seeing my developed operational and organizational policies operating effectively. It is important to be able to see implemented policies and suggestions working and progressing into desired results.

• Perform Operational Audits. Assessments of the stores current situation and a detailed report of recommendations that could be implemented to improve performance.
• How to work with benchmarks and understand their meanings and the lost opportunities that exist.
• Manpower planning and benchmarking.
• How to successfully compete in Today's Retail Environment.
• Improving Inventory and Finance Management Skills.
• Conduct extensive research into market positions and expense controls.
• Implement a Standard Policy and Procedure Guidelines Manual.
• Ideas for improving customer service and shrink control.
• Operational Procedures for accounting...dealing with timely financial reporting, cash flow management and record retention.
• Training courses on Business management, Finance, Benchmarking and inventory.

These are only some of the services I could offer your location.

Many companies and consultants can show you lost opportunity but only a few can show you how to obtain the results. My best results are achieved working with you on a one to one level. I do not just analyze your business and develop a report for you to follow, rather, I insist upon seeing my developed operational and organizational policies and recommendations operating effectively. It is important to be able to see implemented policies working and progressing into desired expectations.
