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.

Know a business that has inventory that is sitting stagnant? How about a business that has a clearance corner or worse yet, a section of the business that is dedicated to items that have been marked down in the hopes of someone deciding to spend some money and give that item a home.

This session will show just how expensive it is to hold onto dead inventory. It will also show how much more sales and profit could be made if that inventory were liquidated (liquidation ideas provided) and that money put into new areas of inventory that is selling.

A free calculator from the Profits Plus website is used in the illustration and provided to participants so they can calculate the cost of holding dead inventory in their business.

Top Story

Continually, I am baffled by small businesses that fail to ask for customers for their business. The example for October is service businesses that deal with their customers on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual business.

 

I don't understand why they tell customers to call when they are ready for the next service.

Article of the Month

It is just a tool. We are talking about money. The October article tells the story of several small businesses that make a big difference in their community. These are heart warming stories of making money and using that money in some unique ways.


Book of the Month

How about an uplifting book to start the last quarter of the year? Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear by Elizabeth Gilbert can give you that boost in both your personal life and in your business.

All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
