our teamWe have a simple mission: guide retailers to reimagine how they run their stores and to help them form and execute a plan to improve the results they achieve. This goal may be the quest to grow profits or exceed a milestone in sales for the first time. Or it might be to achieve a better work/life balance.
These goals are only limited by the retailer’s imagination. Our role is to help them achieve their aspirations.
We do this through a combination of our team’s firsthand jewelry experience, access to the more than $1.5 Billion of jeweler sales and inventory data from 900+ stores (by far the largest pool of industry data and growing rapidly), insights from the retailer’s own business performance data, and active engagement with our clients.
Our team is also equipped to provide expert advice to jewelry vendors.
At the heart of this service is our Business Advisor team. We have selected our highly effective team based on their skills around all aspects of:
optimum inventory levels and open-to-buy
staffing, recruiting and training
sales management and goal setting
financing skills
retirement and succession planning
front and back of house operations
