- Unless you have a true Point of Sale system, you don\u2019t have data<\/span><\/li>\n
- There is a BIG difference in tracking vs analyzing<\/span><\/li>\n
- Failing Fast should be everyone\u2019s strategy, your timing is key<\/span><\/li>\n
- Running a best seller report? Don\u2019t just look at the top. Look at the 4th, 5th, 6th in line, there is where the hidden opportunity lies<\/span><\/li>\n
- \u201cInventory is neither wine nor cheese, it doesn\u2019t get better with age,\u201d – Dan<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
