The Western Home Furnishings Association and Profitability Consulting Group will host a Profit Workshop seminar at Las Vegas Furniture Market.
Part of WHFA's Academy Series, the sessions in the Retailer Resource Center (WMC-C488/496) start on Sunday, Jan. 23 with a five-hour session and will continue with one-hour sessions on Monday and Tuesday.
The Profit Workshop is for owners and sales managers who want the latest information on technology and proven practices for a better bottom line in all departments. This workshop will inform and motivate retailers to take a closer look at their operations and make the changes needed to survive and thrive in todays competitive marketplace.
Sundays workshop begins at noon and will discuss the following modules: Workshop Overview, Technology Footprint, The Science of Sleep, Customer Focused Delivery and How to Profit on Deliveries. There will also be the opportunity to work one-on-one with the leaders of Profitability Consulting Group and discuss your 2011 business plans and analyze problems specific to your business and operation. This session alone could have a dramatic impact on your profitability for years to come. Lunch and refreshments will be served and the session costs $15 per person.
The Monday session, 10:30-11:30 a.m., will cover the Financial Matrix. Even for those who don't attend Sundays workshop, the Financial Matrix module will still be a valuable seminar. It will discuss how all businesses are a numbers game, and while your store may have 40 to 70 unique processes, only one will generate revenue--sales. Everything else generates profit, and this module will show you how to keep more of it.
The final Change Management module on Tuesday, 10:30-11:30 a.m., will focus on the principles of successful change, because business isn't the same today as it was five years ago.
