Sample videos from Tom Shay and Profits Plus We offer several video samples of Tom Shay presentations. They are 20 minute snippets from some of Tom Shay's most popular presentations.

You can hire a manager but you can't hire an owner is Tom Shay's insight into the appropriate tools for an owner to profitably and efficiently operate the business. It begins with determining what are the exclusive responsibilities of the owner and what can be delegated to employees.
This presentation, What it takes to be a 5 star business!, is a workshop that can vary in length from one hour to one day. It helps a business owner to identify the challenges and opportunities within their business.
This presentation, Team UP for Success!, teaches the participants how to develop their format for teaching their employees. Everyone will agree that the sales staff should be better at selling, but how do you teach that? This is the session that teaches how to teach retail.
Creating a business plan is a very important component of a small business. With a business plan you will find you have fewer mistakes in hiring; improve the products and services being offered; and do a better job of marketing to your target customers. In this session at the PRI show, Tom Shay explains why an owner should create the business plan instead of using online programs or someone who does so as a consultant.
This presentation, Power Promoting, is Tom Shay's "posters" presentation. As a result of the popularity, we have Power Promoting 1 and Power Promoting 2. The two presentations do not have to be given in sequence; the second presentation is an extension of what was shared during the first one.
This presentation, Keys to Building Strong Retailers, was given to the directors of a state level Main Street program.

A timely article for the holiday season. With any business that has inventory, are you looking at sales per square foot? Are you looking to see which is the most valuable space in your business? You can increase sales by knowing which items to place where.
Fix This Next by Mike Michalowicz. We love this description of the book; The biggest problem entrepreneurs have is that they do not know what their biggest problem is.
If you find yourself trapped between stagnating sales, staff turnover, and unhappy customers, what do you fix first? Every issue seems urgent - but there is no way to address all of them at once.
