10:30 AM Morning Presentation:  Money Making Methods for Max Profits

I have a money question for you. It’s really simple: would you like to make more of it? More profit in our business means we can increase our salary, hire another employee, replace old equipment, buy that thing we’ve been wanting, or start a remodeling project in our store.

How DO we grow our bottom line? I’m sharing the 3 Money Making Methods that tripled my monthly sales! These strategies work whether your store is new or you’ve been at this for 20+ years. We’ll work through the details of how to make the most profit (the fastest), how to make the biggest impact to your bottom line, and the actionable steps necessary for these kinds of results.

I’ll break it down to 3 parts:
First, we’ll take all the components of your business and put them in order of priority, based on making PROFIT. Yes, please!
Then I’ll teach you the powerful brainstorming method that allows you to take all the ideas you’re seeing from other stores, and figure out when to implement them based on… you guessed it, maximizing profit.
This is where money making activities come in. This is how we GET  IT  DONE  The model and brainstorming will give you the ‘what’, and the money making activity method will give you the ‘when’ & ‘how’ so you can put what you learn into action  

You’ll leave the training with a step-by-step guide to maximize your profit. Chicago, here we come!
