ceo-mic-mentoring and how to get a strategy over lunch

If you want to get an expert and very experienced external Master Strategist’s one-on-one take on your issues resulting in a clear way forward, then arrange for us to meet over a lunch or dinner to discuss your biggest problems, challenges or opportunities.

Black Friday … Cyber Monday … Como controlar las rebajas?

blackfriday-payment-chip-pin-creditcard-safe

Black Friday started in the USA and now it has become normal among most UK retailers. When you have more items on sale rails than on the rest of the floor, there are a number of things you can do, however, rolling your eyes and blaming the increasingly unpredictable British weather shouldn’t be one of them. The only rolling going on should be you rolling up your sleeves and taking serious action. If you want to make more money from your stock, it’s time to start working in a different way. Please note that the comments below refer to a multilabel store however the logic applies to all mono brand stores. 1 KNOW YOUR NUMBERS In order to avoid discounting, you need to understand what you are selling each month: what are your best sellers and where are the problems in your shop? I spoke to a retailer recently who…

Presidente John F Kennedy nos dice …

john kennedy-president-ceo-mentor

Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country. Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. Those who will make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable. There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction. The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining. Once you say you’re going to settle for second, that’s what happens to you in life. John F. Kennedy 1917 – 1963 2017 = 100th year Anniversary of his birthday. Born on May 29th 1917. Check this short video about other quotes from President Kennedy.

EEUU- Elecciones presidenciales- Lecciones para les negocios y la politica

usa politics -lessons in business

We are in the silly season of presidential elections and this year the world is watching what the crazy Americans are going to do. As amazing and frustrating as this election has been, there are some real lessons for business owners buried in the weeds. These lessons are mainly common sense but they tell a great story if only the powers that be would listen. 1. The customer is always right. That does not mean that you can’t fool the customer or cheat a customer. What it does mean is that if you continue to do it over and over you will ruin your brand, tarnish your reputation and lose your customers. In this election the voter is the customer and the political parties have been selling one story and delivering a different story for many years. Call it the absence of truth in advertising. The customer is fed up…
