has all the stress

It’s time to stop stressing about your bottom line and learn the secret to putting more profit in your pockets.
But before I can show you how, I’d like you to answer these questions:
  • Does it feel as though all you do is put out fires instead of getting ahead in your business?
  • Do you look at your bank statements at the end of the month and wonder where all the money went?
  • Want to know how you can use the science of retail to maximize your revenue?
  • Have you convinced yourself that retail is “too hard”?

If you said yes, to any (or all) of these questions, I’m here to tell you that regardless of the economy, regardless of your current financial state, it is possible to DRASTICALLY improve your profit margins in just a few months.

and updated for what’s happening RIGHT NOW – June of 2015.

web 6 dear fellow

Do you feel trapped in your store? Afraid to leave because you don’t want to miss “the big” sale?

Do you fear your numbers (or maybe feel embarrassed because you don’t even know what numbers to look at?)

Are you getting by financially, but don’t know what’s truly possible for your store?

Do you feel as though your competitors have it all figured out, even if you’re not sure what benchmarks you should use to qualify them as “successful?”

Is the holiday season more stressful than fruitful? Does it feel as though you’re losing money because you’re not sure which strategies will motivate your customers to open their wallets?

Do you worry that you don’t have time train your employees to be as successful as possible?

Most importantly: Do you wish you knew exactly what to do to make more money in your store?

You are not the only one. I have talked to hundreds of retailers who struggle with the same thoughts and feelings. And regardless of whether they are highly successful, just getting by, or thinking about closing up shop, there’s one statement they all say:

 

web 7 retail is shockingly hard
 small blank trans

Most of us don’t go into business to make our lives more difficult. We do it because we are passionate about the products we sell. We love clothing, toys, the color green. We want to sell all left-handed products or sustainable clothing.

Whatever it is, most of us start our retail business not knowing all that much about running a retail business. And maybe you worked for a big company before, but the odds are you didn’t study the ins and outs of retail management.

Chances are you’re naturally good at the “fun parts” of retail: picking trendy inventory, merchandising your store and creating a great customer experience. The truth is you take a lot of pride in your store. The problem is that your lack of retail knowledge is creating more frustration than profits.

(Side note to those of you who may already have a successful business. Perhaps you’ve mastered many of the problems we’ve already discussed. You may be dealing with the problem of feeling as though you’ve maximized the profit out of your business and aren’t sure what you can do to make more money. If so, please keep reading as what we’re about to reveal is important for you as well!)
You may be wondering if your business is even profitable. The odds are that if you don’t know the answer, then you likely aren’t. And given all the time, money, and energy you’ve invested into your business, you desperately want to make it work.

More than anything, you’re likely exhausted. Exhausted of feeling inadequate. Exhausted from working 7-days a week (either because you can’t relinquish control, can’t find good employees, or don’t believe you can afford the best employees yet). You’re exhausted at pretending like everything is going perfectly even though inside you may be questioning whether or not you should be in business in the first place.

The bottom line is that you know that what you’re currently doing isn’t working and you need help. Only you may not know where you can find it or whether there’s anyone out there who gets what you’re going through. web 8 cathy headshot in frame

Guess what? They do. And it’s me. The Retail Maven. (That’s me over there to the left!) I’m Cathy Donovan Wagner, and I’m called the RETAIL Maven.

Why? A client named me that because I helped her to achieve the store she always dreamed of. I am a trusted retail expert with 25+ years experience – and I’m passionate about showing retailers how to MAKE MORE PROFIT and have more fun. But the truth is that I started just like you. Everything I shared above is my story, too.

At one point in my career I had a business that was flailing. I was in debt and in the dumps because my dream of owning my own retail store had quickly turned into a nightmare. I dealt with trouble employees, deadbeat vendors, self-sabotage and more. For years I resisted help, until it got to be too much. I thought about quitting, but knew I would never forgive myself if I didn’t at least try. And that’s what I did. I tried. I got help. It changed my store, and it changed my life.

I’d like to invite you to take a moment and take a deep breath.

  web 9 imagine this

  • Imagine being EXCITED to meet with your accountant because there are NO surprises (I know, it sounds crazy, but stick with me).
  • Imagine no longer having your heart race when the phone rings early in the morning because you know that it is NOT an employee calling in sick and your entire day is NOT shot.
  • Picture the unbeatable feeling of control from knowing that you are just moments away from being taught the secrets I have personally used to help my clients make hundreds of thousands of dollars.
  • Imagine raking in more profit than you ever thought possible?

web 10 marciaI have been in business for a long time, expanding, moving, adding and selling shops along the way. In my quest for my “perfect” business I could never could quite find the proper balance I was seeking. It felt as if I was always jumping from one thing to the next, putting out fires and plans always fell short of my grand expectations.
 small blank trans
The Profit Breakthrough System helped me sort through important issues facing me and my business, helping me identify my own roadblocks to being more successful. I highly recommend The Profit Breakthrough System as a wonderful set of tools and counterparts to propel you and your business forward. You will be compelled to check your progress on the journey including red flags that may pop up… The Profit Breakthrough System assists with a plan of action to remedy problems and/or concerns before they become a threat.
 small blank trans
Participation in The Profit Breakthrough System has given me a clearer vision of what I want my business to be along with the role I will choose to take; as well as those roles I need to delegate to others on my team. This is not an overnight fix nor is it for those not willing to commit to scrutinizing all components of your business, rather, it is an ongoing process of growth, inspiration and freedom.

web 13 not a dream

This revolutionary program will give you the precise system to get all the moving parts of your store moving in the same great, profitable direction. You see, I know that owning a store means that you wear a whole lot of hats. But, really, can I be honest with you? You don’t look good when you wear them all at once. Let’s take them off and get each one to fit well once and for all. And you don’t have to do it alone. You have got an expert in your corner. A maven. The RETAIL Maven.

Me. Cathy Donovan Wagner.

I opened my first store over 25 years ago and quickly grew it to 3 stores in Chicago grossing more than 2 million dollars. I sold them and have been consulting and speaking to hundreds of independent specialty store owners for the last 11 years.

I’m a national retail speaker and have been quoted in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Women’s Wear Daily, and Money Magazine just to name a few. Birthday Pie I have learned what it takes to make a successful profitable store. Implementing these processes, uncovering opportunities and encouraging business growth are my specialties. I work closely with retailers to develop action plans that increase sales, improve cash flow and create success.

I am proud to say that in the last 6 years, my private clients have all seen MORE profits with each successive year. They have all made more profit each year for the last 6 years! I am uniquely qualified to teach you.

The other part of my experience is that I have made mistakes – ones that I don’t want you to make. I almost went bankrupt twice. It wasn’t fun. But I learned what to do to turn it around and be more profitable and love going to my store again.

Most importantly, I learned how to take time off…and create traditions and special times with my family.When our oldest was 18, she entered a contest sponsored by a national game company. She spoke about some of our crazy traditions – like getting a pie in your face on your birthday. That’s a photo of my husband and business partner Paul in action. Her essay won and we were named “America’s Most Fun Family.”

Here’s why I created The Profit Breakthrough System…

Actually, this is why I sold my stores and started RETAILMavens: I met store owners who were frustrated and trapped and second guessing themselves…It made me crazy. It broke my heart.

I knew that it didn’t have to be that way. I knew there were invaluable strategies, hidden opportunities and critical options for them. I wanted retailers to get more profit and better results, so that they could actually enjoy the process of running their stores. So that they can have more fun actually enjoy running their stores!

web 14 gepettoWhen we decided to open our toy store, we knew we would need some help since we had never had a retail business before. We attended ASTRA Marketplace immediately to learn about the industry which is where we met Cathy. The smartest thing we did thereafter was enlist her guidance.

small blank trans
After five years of working with her, we now realize that Cathy is like having our own personal Board of Directors. We get so caught up in running our business each day so having our ‘Board’ forces us to stop and MANAGE our business. She is the bird’s eye view we need to make sure we manage our resources effectively without getting bogged down in the everyday stuff.

We can’t even imagine our business without Cathy at this point – she causes us to stop, evaluate and change direction as necessary. Invaluable! – Eric & Brandy Masoncup, Geppetto’s Toy Box

We were telling Cathy that 2011 was our first holiday where Meme and I weren’t high five-ing each other because something super old on our sales floor finally sold. Because of both Management One and Cathy, all our inventory was fresh and we had the right things on the sales floor.
small blank trans
We actually found ourselves a little shocked at just how fast things were selling. For the first time ever, we were proud of everything we sold. As we were ringing up customers, we never looked at each other and thought, “Oh, finally that ugly thing is leaving!!” And it was because Cathy had already helped us get rid of all that stuff.
small blank trans
So, please know how grateful we are for your service and that we absolutely adore Cathy. She has taken us from contemplating closing our doors to having both hope and confidence in our business. We just can’t say enough good things about Cathy – we love her both as a mentor and a person.

What is your investment to get the tools that will increase your sales and decrease your stress?! I am so glad you asked.

The Profit Breakthrough System tuition is $1999. I’m not going to compare it to the cost of having Starbucks every day or that it’s less than one expensive big name purse or pair of designer shoes.

As you can imagine, I did the math for you. I’m about to show you the value of this program. Here goes: If you followed these proven formulas and if your average sale is $54, you’d only have to make just ONE extra sale on Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday per week of the program! That is right – you would recoup your investment and change your life. This is a no brainer.

WHAT? You don’t know your average sale…ARGHHH…sign up now. You need this.

So…. Are you FINALLY ready to become the master of your store, take charge of it, start making more profit, and taking home more money? If you’re not sure whether you’re ready or not, I’ve got something exciting for you.

If I’m being truthful: My most successful clients take action right away. They know that momentum and decision create sales and profits. So I am going to reward YOU for taking quick action.

INVESTMENT: $1999 $1297 EARLY BIRD PRICE

If you are wondering whether or not it is worth investing $1297 (or just 6 payments of $227), I have to ask you how serious you are about the value of your own time and business. You must be perfectly happy with how things are. I’m completely serious. Because if you are not happy then enroll now. I am a loving coach but a tough one. Stop kidding yourself. Let’s change the results you are getting from your store now.

You would spend that much on a new vendor hoping for good results – how often have you ended up marking it down…with The Profit Breakthrough System, 1 out of 10 students re-enroll because they found such great value for the money spent! small blank transweb 28 tick tocksmall blank trans   Let’s recap everything you will get in this program:

  • The Profit Breakthrough System regular curriculum including all the tools you’ll need and your step-by-step proven profit system ($1999 value)
  • Access to the private Profit Breakthrough System Facebook forum (priceless)
  • One 30-minute one-on-one coaching call with a Mavens Coach to laser focus on YOUR store and YOUR unique needs
  • Weekly LIVE Community calls with Cathy and the Mavens Coaches to get all your questions answered throughout the program and keep you on track to more profit and cash flow

If you were to buy all these programs separately it would cost you almost $5,000! This is your opportunity to get everything for our Early Bird Pricing of $1297 (or 6 payments of $227). Combined, these programs will give you all the tools you need for retail success all year long. This is your chance to take your store to the next level with the support you need and the guidance you want.

web 30 no time web 29 hamsterHave you ever heard that Henry Ford quote: “Whether you think you can, or you think you can‘t–you’re right”? The same is true here.

You must not be really ready to make a change or you would MAKE the time to do so. Your concern about time and the “Retail Time Warp Zone” is one of the reasons I developed this program to help you fix this crazy problem. Get out of that hamster wheel.

web 31 start no finish

If this is your concern you are probably right and you won’t. So don’t waste your money and time…oh… but you want things to be different? You know the answer to that. Let me paraphrase that famous quote from Einstein. I love it. “If you want different results – you have to take different actions.” GIVE THIS GIFT TO YOURSELF! COMMIT TO MAKING A DIFFERENCE in your store, with your staff, to your customers and finally…to yourself and to your loved ones.

web 32 uniforms

Excellent question. I am proud of you for asking. There are no formal dress requirements but there will be reading lists. If you have any ideas for a mascot or you want to go out for the lacrosse team, let me know.

web 33 installment payments

Yes, sure thing. You can also purchase for 4 payments of $347 billed 30 days apart.

web 34 guarantee guaranteeYou are protected by my “I Love The Profit Breakthrough System” Guarantee. I am confident that you will love this and be thrilled. But if you decide that it’s not for you….just let us know before the third class begins and we will get you a full refund. We want you to be happy. 100% guarantee. Period.

Just so you know – everyone has loved it and, in fact, retailers signed up for another session because they got so much from the information and the support of the group! They wanted even more change for themselves and their stores.

Remember, when you are considering an opportunity to choose between where you’ve been and SUCCESS, don’t look at what an opportunity costs. Look at what that opportunity is worth.

web 9 imagine this

You have just come home from a 2 week vacation and your team left you an email (per your instructions) telling you that they beat sales goal by 11%. You go into the store the next day and your desk is clear, the mail is open and sorted with a few highlighted questions on your desk. You walk out onto the floor and the new shipments were received, priced and are selling already! Your employee greets you with a hug and tells you about the fantastic event that they had while you were gone and all the wonderful responses to the marketing email that went out. Let’s not forget that this holiday season you absolutely rocked it out, bringing in more money than ever before. This is how you dreamed your life would be when you opened your store. That’s a RETAIL Maven store!

Grab the tools you need to make that a reality for your life.

P.S. As someone who knew nothing about retail – heck I was going to medical school – then I decided to open a store because I “thought it would be fun” and it was at first but then descended into a NIGHTMARE. Not just once but twice…all because of simple mistakes that could have been avoided. Please know that is why I created this program for you. I want you to get out of the hamster wheel and take charge of your store and not let it control you any longer. Do it. P.P.S. You have to read what Victoria said on Facebook about The Profit Breakthrough System:

I signed up for Retail Mavens Profit Breakthrough System with a bit of skepticism, I wasn’t used to spending money on that sort of thing and I had figured after all this time being in business I knew most everything.

Well I have to say this was one of the best things I’ve ever done for my business and MYSELF! Each module made me think and re-think about what I was doing and how I could do it better, or even better yet…start doing something I had never done even after 20 years.

Believe it or not I actually started tracking my cash flow, figuring out when times were tight for money and when product had to come in heavy, to be able to give myself an actual monthly inventory budget made it so much easier to know when to buy and when to say no. Thank you Cathy and Retail Mavens”
