Profit and Learn From Our Experience

The Profitable Retailer Coaching Program is a coaching and mentor program for independent retailer who want or need to improve their stores immediately.

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:

  1. 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

  2. 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.

  3. 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. 

 

Are you ready to learn more? We're ready to talk to you.

If you're ready to grow your business and yourself, or you'd like to learn more about the difference between our mentor and consulting programs, fill out this form and we'll contact you within 24 hours. There's no charge for the first call.

Participant Comments

from Jeff H., Birmingham, MI

“My experience with Doug could be described as nothing less than fantastic. Doug's experience is great and he will really take the time to understand your business.

His approach is unique in that he does not come at you with a typical "canned" approach. He will give you fresh ideas to improve your business.

For me, I had a tendency to take on too much and then not be able to finish the projects/initiatives that I start. Doug forced me to prioritize and then execute a plan and this process has begun to improve our business.

Doug will make you think through your business and in doing so you will make better decisions in all areas of your business.”
 

from Kathy H., Toledo, OH

“I must say that my head is a buzzin’ after our first meeting this morning. I feel it was VERY productive talking with you and probably one of the smartest things I've ever invested in."

from Marti N., Western Canada

“I just wanted you to know that I am finding great value in our sessions. Since engaging you, my stress has gone down considerable. I’m no longer guilty of not coming up out of the ‘urgent’ for one hour a week and thinking strategically and effectively about what needs to be prioritized.

I now have an experienced sounding board and that makes ALL the difference. You’re guidance has made all the difference in the world and I thank you both professionally and personally."
