“A compendium of street-smart retailing insights and acumen.”
427 lessons retailers learn only on the frontline. No academic theory — just the hard-nosed realities shrewd retailers use to build profitable stores. Among the Retail Truths discussed are:
Chip Averwater is a 3rd-generation, 40-year veteran of retailing. In Retail Truths he shares the lessons of a career.
“If you could own only one book on retailing, this should be the one.”
Review: "The Ultimate Guide to Successful Retail. In Retail Truths, Chip Averwater distills 40 years of hard-won experience into 380 highly readable pages. ...instead of banal generalities, he offers specific and detailed suggestions...
Averwater provides an exhaustive list of the critical details that separate stellar performers from the casualties, and his insights are invariably on the mark. On the need for fiscal prudence, he writes, "A store needs profits, not so the owners or investors can winter in the Caribbean but to grow inventories, expand locations, add personnel, or upgrade systems." Are bigger stores better? He observes, "An abundance of space indulges our tendencies to disorganization. What we usually need isn't more space, but purchase planning and inventory management. Efficiency is seldom fun but always rewarding."
Based on long personal experience, Averwater says a good salesperson can easily be five times as productive as a laggard, and says high-priced salespeople "are an expense we want." On personnel, he offers a blueprint for hiring and retaining those top performers—from how to screen out undesirables in the hiring process ("Less than one in 20 job applicants is a suitable candidate") to maintaining high morale ("A manager's words resonate for a while then fade. Incentives speak with every paycheck.")
We suspect that Retail Truths will ring true to any thoughtful practitioner of store management."
