This Episode: From Shopkeeper To Pro: Navigating The Retailer’s Journey
To ensure you know where you’re headed, it’s necessary to have a clear understanding of where you’re at. That’s why it’s so important to know where you land on your retailer’s journey. If your goal is to progress to the next level, you’ll need to equip yourself with the essential tools and strategies required to get there. No matter what stage you’re in, self-development is key. You cannot grow as a business owner if you’re not growing as a person.
Where are you at in your retail journey and where do you want to go? I would love to hear from you in the comments.
I am still at the shopkeeper stage even after 8 years.
I had some retail experience working for someone else for six years and had some business training working as an office manager and accounts payable associate.
I purchased an established (60 years m.o.l.) health food store in a small rural community.
Sales had been declining before my purchase of the store and have continued to decline since my purchase.
I’ve tried a variety of things to reinvent the business with no success.
I definitely want to be a retailer pro and beyond.
Jeane, The way to go from Shop Keeper to Retail Pro is SKILLS. Do you have the Retail Mastery System? If you don’t I would encourage you to make the investment (put it on the payment plan) and dig into the Marketing Module. That will help you become a better marketer, and marketing drives traffic, which builds sales. Good luck!
