The Retail Mastery System
11 Essential Elements that Can Increase Your Store’s Sales 20% … 30% … Even 50% or More
"We credit the fact that our July numbers were up a whopping 50% over last year to the many Retail Mastery System ideas we've implemented."
~Bev Dukerschein, Artisans Outlet, Glen Flora, WI
Dear Fellow Retailer,
Think back to the day you decided to open your store.
You had a vision, an enthusiasm, an indescribable optimism for what you were about to create. You were excited to make a good living and have fun doing what you love.
I know I was.
But it took years of frustration, constant stress, and painful poverty for my vision to become a reality.
After years of struggling to pay the bills and barely surviving a recession, it hit me… passion for your product and a talent in one or two areas can get you started, but they simply aren’t enough to create a super-successful, long-term business.
I discovered that every store owner – no matter what they sell, where they live, or how much money they started with – must understand 11 essential retail skills and put them to work in their business.
Early in my retail career I was great at one or two parts of the retail equation, but mediocre to dreadful at the rest. I was a natural at marketing and could sell ice to Eskimos – but I had absolutely no idea how to manage my inventory or build a team of superstar employees.
No wonder there was never any money in the bank!
It was mastering those 11 critical retail skills that allowed me to turn my store’s pitiful first year sales of just over $17,000 into a multi-million dollar business – and have fun doing it.
If your original store vision doesn’t quite match your current retail reality, if getting those 20%, 30%, even 50% sales increases would make your business and your life more fun, here’s some good news…
I put everything I learned, everything you need to know about running a super-successful retail business into one complete, easy-to-use program.
The Retail Mastery System
This is the most comprehensive, across the board business-building resource ever assembled for an independent retailer like you. For the first time ever, you can have, at your fingertips, all the tools you need to build the business of your dreams.
The Retail Mastery System spells out EXACTLY what you can do to put more profit and passion in your business – no matter what’s happening in the economy.
By improving performance of the 11 vital areas of your store, the Retail Mastery System can boost your store sales and transform your business from something that makes you work too hard … to an income producing asset that works hard for YOU.
Using the Retail Mastery System you will:
Increase Your Sales...
- Learn how one client increased his sales by $109,000 with a single endorsed mailing campaign and find out how you can quickly duplicate his promotion – we’ve even included the ACTUAL LETTERS he used to get these amazing results.
~ Marketing Kit, page 59 - Use the sales training DVD and train every employee to be a customer-focused sales maniac. This requires almost no work on your part and puts immediate money in the cash register!
~ Selling Kit, DVD # 1 - Understand the 4 things you must do to make your email marketing a success – and two things to avoid if you want your customers to open your messages. Knowing how to use email marketing essentially allows you to “print money” at will!
~ E-Marketing Kit, page 31 - Turn your website into one of your most valuable relationship-building tools. Using this information you’ll create raving fans, turn your special events into blockbusters, and put more money in the bank.
~ E-Marketing Kit, page 52 - Implement a unique bonus program that pushes your staff to get laser-focused on selling and keeps them working hard every hour of every day – while at the same time it promotes intense teamwork and eliminates trouble making competition on the sales floor!
~ Staff Development Kit page 125 - Learn to use your POS system like a “crystal ball” so you are buying only the merchandise that your customer's will actually take out their wallets for, not the stuff they “oooh” and “aaah” over, but leave to gather dust on your shelves.
~ Inventory Management Kit, page 51 - Create merchandise signs that act as mini salespeople for customers who are “just looking” and consistently turn those browsers into buyers. Posting great signs is one of the best, easiest, most immediate ways to build your sales – but using lousy signs (or no signs at all) is like throwing money down the drain.
~ Visual Merchandising Kit, page 33
Lower Expenses and Save Money...
- Learn a simple technique that helped one client catch a thief – the first day she used it!
~ Store Operations Kit, page 13 - Understand how to dole out your precious cash when times are tight. The answer might surprise you!
~ Financial Management Kit, page 30 - Stop wasting money on ads that don’t work, and learn the secret to BIG TIME returns on all of your marketing efforts. This information alone will be worth thousands of dollars to you!
~ Marketing Kit, page 153 - Learn how to dramatically reduce employee turnover to save yourself the expense and headache of attracting qualified candidates and bringing new-hires up to speed.
~ Staff Development Kit, page 75 - Train your team to say the 9-word combo that will calm down nearly every angry customer. You’ll have fewer returns, keep more loyal customers (even if they were upset to start with), and improve your employees' confidence.
~ Customer Service Kit, page 23 - Apply a basic open to buy system that will allow you to buy less, sell more, reduce your markdowns, and build your profit margins.
~ Inventory Management Kit, page 51 - Get straight talk on how to negotiate with your vendors by using what’s in their best interest in order to get deals that will save you money and strengthen your relationships at the same time.
~ Assortment Planning Kit, page 35 - Use scheduling secrets that will save you hundreds (or thousands) of dollars in payroll every month.
~ Store Operations Kit, page 38
Reduce Stress...
- Apply 3 simple time management techniques developed specifically for busy store owners like you and you’ll automatically get the most important work done that will make the biggest difference in your business.
~ Personal Business Skills Kit, page 41 - Banish unskilled, untrained, unaccountable employees forever using a training program that gets all your new hires completely up to speed in a few short days – and the best part is YOU don’t have to spend any time training them!
~ Staff Development Kit, page 53, Selling Kit CD #1 - Make just two phone calls and you can have a Secret Shopper Program in place that will give you the peace of mind that comes from knowing “the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth” about what’s going on in your store when you’re not around.
~ Staff Development Kit, page 117 - Keep an eagle-eye on the 6 simple financial statistics that will tell you 99% of what you need to know about the REAL direction your business is taking. Hint: your accountant may have been steering you wrong all these years!
~ Financial Management Kit, page 22 - Learn how to pick items that are winners and eliminate the stress of having merchandise you’ve already paid top dollar for that you can’t sell. Don’t you hate it when you have to mark it down so far you’re practically paying the customer to take it out of your store?
~ Assortment Planning Kit, page 19 - Quit placing lame help wanted ads that get losers lining up to fill out applications. Write a Red-Hot Help Wanted Ad and get floods of awesome applicants clamoring for the chance to work for you.
~ Staff Development Kit, page 9 - Learn interviewing secrets that get you past the smiling face and help you delve deep into the true nature of your applicants. This skill can save you from the disastrous hires that rob you of time, money, and emotional energy.
~ Staff Development Kit, page 31 - Choose any 1 of 3 specific techniques to actually change the physical structures of your brain and unleash its immense power to fulfill your wildest business dreams. This is not New Age fluff or crazy off-the-cuff theories, but real, cutting-edge brain science.
~ Personal Business Skills Kit, page 10 - Harness the power of the single most powerful concept in employee management and have every member of your staff doing what you want them to do, the way you want them to do it. You’ll take a deep breath and feel a huge weight lifted from your shoulders.
~ Staff Development Kit, page 50
I know this list seems almost too good to be true. You might think I’m making this stuff up or exaggerating what the Retail Mastery System can really do.
But these are not pie in the sky claims or results that only one-in-a-million can achieve. Don’t just take my word for it...

It's Your Retail Reference!
Even though there's a ton of great information in the Retail Mastery System, you don't have to use it all at once. It's organized so you can use just the parts you need, when you need it.
Getting ready to hire a new employee? Get out the Staff Development Kit and learn how to attract superstar candidates.
Have a questions about driving traffic into your store? Grab the Marketing Kit and use one of the hundreds of ideas inside.
Need a form? Pull out the Store Operations Kit and take your pick.
Planning a staff meeting? Play the Selling DVD and train your staff to be sales pros.
Want some inspiration for your front windows? There are lots of examples in the Visual Merchandising Kit.
We've designed it to be 'plug and play', bit at a time, get it when you need it… or, if you prefer, you can go through the System like a university course. One retailer even said that, for store owners, the Retail Mastery System was better than a Harvard MBA!
The “Gold Star Game Plan” Makes It Simple
You get a “Gold Star Game Plan” for each of the eleven kits – the few “must-do” tactics and techniques for each skill that will make the most dramatic and explosive difference in your business.
These are the things that we have seen work for retail store owners over and over again, no matter what they sell, where they are located, or how big a business they have. And really, this is a HUGE part of what makes the Retail Mastery System so valuable.
It’s like getting a cheat sheet. A map to the maze. The answer key to the mid-term exam.
You can stop fiddling around doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that. And you don’t have to drive yourself crazy trying to do everything all at once. Just start with the Gold Star Game Plan FIRST and watch what happens
Pays for itself the very first month you use it!
The Retail Mastery System has routinely improved retailers’ monthly sales by 10% … 13% … 29% … 30% … 40% … 43% … even 50% or more.
For a smaller store with $300,000 in annual sales, even a 10% improvement in sales translates into an extra $30,000.
That means your $2,497 investment in the Retail Mastery System would more than pay back its cost the very first month you use it.
Within a year, the Retail Mastery System would generate increased revenue at least 12 times greater than your investment in our program!
For a store with a million dollars in annual sales and a 30% increase in revenue, your ROI for your first year of Retail Mastery System membership would be a whopping 150 to 1 – an extra $300,000 a year in income, as incredible as that sounds – paying back your total investment in the Retail Mastery System in less than 3 days!
But If Cash Flow Is Tight...
Trust me, this is something we understand. But we think it’s critically important for every independent retail store owner to have the Retail Mastery System. Especially if you’re struggling financially.
That's why we also offer a monthly payment plan. You pay only $197 a month for 15 months.
That’s like having us “on retainer” as your exclusive store consultants for less than $7 a day … about what you’d pay for coffee and a sandwich at a local snack shop … instead of my usual fee of $7,500 a day.
Use it risk-free for an entire year. Then decide.
When your Retail Mastery System arrives, unwrap the 11 skills modules. Dive into the workbooks. Watch the DVDs. Listen to the audio CDs in your car while driving to and from your store or doing chores at home.
Put some of the ideas to work. Pick one or two of your favorite tactics -- and implement them in your store. Watch how sales and profit margins skyrocket. Slash your inventory costs. Improve customer service and employee productivity as never before.
Then, you are the final judge….
If you do not agree that the Retail Mastery System has boosted monthly sales, reduced inventory costs, or increased other key performance indicators in your store …
Or you are not 100% satisfied with the Retail Mastery System for any other reason … or for no reason at all …
Simply return the program materials to us within one year for a prompt and full refund of every penny paid.
You risk nothing.
You have a full year to decide. And the burden of proving that the Retail Mastery System is the smartest investment you can make in your business is all on our shoulders – as it should be.
