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:
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.

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."
