The Western Home Furnishings Association’s Academy Series and Profitability Consulting Group will host a Profit Workshop seminar during the upcoming Winter Las Vegas Market in the Retailer Resource Center, C-488/496. The workshop will begin on Sunday, January 23 with a five-hour session and will continue with one-hour sessions on Monday and Tuesday.
The Profit Workshop is for owners and sales managers who want the latest information on technology and proven practices for a better bottom line in all departments. This workshop will inform and motivate retailers to take a closer look at their operations and make the changes needed to survive and thrive in today’s competitive marketplace.
Sunday’s workshop begins at noon and will discuss the following modules: Workshop Overview, Technology Footprint, The Science of Sleep, Customer Focused Delivery and How to Profit on Deliveries. There will also be the opportunity to work one-on-one with the leaders of Profitability Consulting Group and discuss your 2011 business plans and analyze problems specific to your business and operation. This session alone could have a dramatic impact on your profitability for years to come. Lunch and refreshments will be served and the session costs $15 per person.
The Monday session is from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and will cover the Financial Matrix. Whether or not you attended Sunday’s workshop, the Financial Matrix module will still be a valuable seminar. It will discuss how all businesses are a numbers game and while your store may have 40-70 unique processes, only one will generate revenue—sales. Everything else generates profit and this module will show you how to keep more of it.
The final module occurs on Tuesday from 10:30-11:30 a.m. and is on Change Management. This module will focus on the principles of successful change, because your business isn’t the same today as it was five years ago.
