With over 25 years of frontline experience Tom Shay is America's leading small business management expert. He's a "Must Have" for your next event.

Welcome!

 

 

You have just found the best online tool for small businesses. Decisions about how to manage your business should never be a guessing game. My purpose is to assist business owners and managers to increasing their profits and build their business for the future. I strive to achieve this through magazine articles, books, seminars,customized consulting services, and partnerships with other like minded businesses. I work with families and individuals whose livelihood depends on the results of the business. It’s an honor and a privilege to to work with and for businesses which serve their community.

As a fourth generation small business owner and speaker  I created Profits Plus to provide assistance to small business owners through a vast array of tools—calculators, magazine articles, books, seminars plus—all created with the experience and expertise I’ve gained from the past 30 years.  

I also work with manufacturers and wholesalers to help their staffs understand the complexity and challenges these small businesses face. Helping suppliers gain the knowledge to assist these small businesses allows the supplier to be a more valuable partner.

As you strive for success you listen to experts speak, read an article or book they’ve written, talk with them one-on-one, always in search of proven results. You want someone who has "been there and done that."I can point you to proven results.

Just ask me.

Article of the Month

"No plan B"; the subtitle to Van Morrison's Born to Sing album. The idea of no plan B also applies to a small business when you think (or is it when you don't think) about when the time, or opportunity, comes that you can sell your business. Generally speaking, a small business owner gets less money when they decide to close their business.


Book of the Month

"Escape from Cubicle Nation" is the March book of the month. While directed towards those working a corporate job and wanting to become an entrepreneur, we remind readers about utilizing their gut feeling to make decisions in their business.
