Accomplish so much more…get maximum ROI…and reduce the number of physical store visits.

It goes without saying that store visits are happening in your retail organization.

Whether they are happening with the right frequency or being properly executed are things only you can know. You would know if you see quantifiable results following store visits, right?

When you consider how much time is spent visiting your stores – whoever it is – the business owner, the DM or RM or any other Operations team member or H.O. personnel – it would be downright irresponsible NOT to do everything possible to ensure a great ROI is realized.

What do store visits cost? Think about the expenses of travel – fuel, vehicle rentals, airfares, ground transportation, salaries, hotel accommodations, meals…the list goes on.

There’s also preparation time (salaries and wages) – for information gathering, for report reviews, etc.

One of the main benefits of the MAX ROI approach is that you can do fewer visits because more focused visits that get a bigger return. More focused visits accomplish so much more.

Now, you can reduce the number of physical store visits and
get better results!!

If you know how to take a focused approach to Store Visits; how to deal with the inevitable distractions and how to manage the day, you will cover a lot of ground and reap the rewards for the time spent.
Let’s look at some of the things that need to be done as part of a comprehensive, well executed one day store visit by a retail business owner or their designate – the DM or RM:

• Training Needs Analysis
• Schedule Productivity Check
• Inventory (Spot) Count
• Succession Planning Exercise
• Store Maintenance and Renovation Requirements Analysis
• P & L Review
• Merchandise Review
• Safety Inspection and Facilities Review
• Loss Prevention Audit
• Staff Performance Review
• Management Development Session
• Mall Management Updates
• Marketing and Signage Package Review
• Online Business Review (if applicable)
• Obstacle Removal
• Action Planning

You may wonder how all these things can be covered in a one-day store visit!!

In fact, many retailers cannot do it and do not do it.

They do not know how to do it and, therefore, they fail to get the results – the quantifiable positive results – that they want and need.

Well, there is a method. All you need to do is figure out how to do it.

That’s where we come in. We explain it all.

The short answer is:
