The Numbers Made Easy

Order Now - $39 

This program is for all of those business owners who have ever uttered the phrase “my accountant handles that!” When banks hear those words they shutter because what it’s saying to the banker is “I really don’t know or understand what’s going on in my business financially.” That’s scary!

Businesses don’t get into trouble when they are overbought. They get into trouble when they don’t know when they are overbought.  The problem is that very few retailers go into business because they love accounting (myself included). This program will simplify the numbers you need to know. Look at this program as a short course in Retail Accounting for Dummies (if there were such a book). You will learn what information you need to know and what to do with it.

  • Learn 4 numbers that will make you financially savvy about your business
  • Learn techniques to make money in retailing that are contrary to everyday thinking
  • Learn the magic of margins and how to fatten them up
  • Learn the difference between a buyer and a picker and why the numbers don’t lie
  • Understand why your average transaction size and your units per transaction can be the greatest sales motivator
