Profit and Develop From Our Experience
The DEG Retail Mentor Program is a retail advisory and mentor program for
retailers of all size who want to improve their stores
while developing their own skills. Participants include retail executives,
owners, as well as regional, district, and store managers.
We'll let former program member Dave Immeson of
Moose Hollow Trading Company
explain why you should consider investing in the mentor program
"Here are three reasons to work with Doug Fleener.
1) It's wise to retain someone who has already made their share of mistakes
and lived to talk about it. While the principal that "Things become obvious" is
still true, we all should see the value of shortening the learning curve. Doug's
experience, candor and humility in sharing the past make a big difference as we
work through issues with him.
2) There is an important discipline that an objective third party can bring with
weekly consults to cause us to "Walk our talk" and not let good thought and
strategy die on the "alter of the urgent and unimportant." Most of us eventually
feel guilty about making repeated excuses about not executing.
3) The outside objective person can see things that we are blind to as a result
of running on the retail treadmill, as well as help see what is coming next as
an organization grows.
Doug's input is valued by us greatly and we here at Moose Hollow highly
recommend him."

This program works. Here's how.
Each week or every other week we’ll have a one hour call at a time that is convenient for both of
us. We talk with some participants as early as 8:00 a.m. Our focus will be
on the areas you choose including but not limited to:
-
Sales revenue and profit growth
-
Marketing activities
-
Sales and customer experience improvement
-
Hiring and staffing
-
Staff and self development
This program works. Here's why.
The Mentor program works for three reasons:
-
Since we are not as close to your business as you are, it requires us to
ask questions that often reveal opportunities and challenges you may not
otherwise see
-
The program requires you to dedicate time and
focused attention to elements of your business that you may not otherwise find
the time to do.
-
If your investment isn't paying dividends then we
would both agree to stop working together.
Learn everyday in this program. Here's how.
As a client of The Mentor Program you will receive our daily
newsletter The Daily Retail Experience each morning Monday through
Friday. I’ll share with you on a daily basis my experiences and insights on
retail, the retail experience, and life in general. The Daily Retail
Experience is easy to read, often funny, but most important, almost always
thought provoking.
This isn't for everyone. Here's why.
For many of our clients, our customized consulting services are a much better investment.
The difference between these services and The Mentor Program is that our
consulting services are usually project-oriented and are a more in-depth,
hands-on solution. Some of our most popular consulting services include new
concept development, on-site visits, merchandising and marketing improvement,
and short and long-term growth. Many of our clients use a combination of
consulting and participation in The Mentor Program.
