This review is from: Start & Run a Retail Business (Paperback)

I have read a lot of business books and this one ranks up there with the best in terms of its insight and simple, straight forward approach. The book was easy to follow and was full of useful information learned through the authors' many years of experience in retail. A definite MUST for anyone looking to start a retail business and compete against the big guys.

This review is from: Start and Run a Retail Business (Paperback)

For anyone who is looking to delve into the abyss of retail planning & success, this is a proper place to start. The invaluable tips & worksheets provide a good starting point. Also, the author(s) put a great deal of emphasis on determining whether retail is right for you & the fact that you need to spend at least 1 year planning. As for me, I am happy to have read this book, and plan on keeping it as a reference guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Business Sense, Jun 26 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Start and Run a Retail Business (Paperback)

This book is full of great advice for anyone wanting to get involved with retail. The authors discuss the seven most important aspects of retail: the basics of retail, merchandising, buying, personnel, sales management, technology, and customer service. (There is a chapter dedicated to each of these topics.) Also included are step-by-step calculations to help you figure out expenses and budgets. Good advice is offered in the department of how to get the best sales out of your team by hiring, training, and treating your employees right the first time around. The tear-out worksheets located in the back of the book are a helpful bonus. If you are thinking of starting up a retail business, pick up a copy of this book first.
