Leadership
I help my clients build an accountable organization by eliminating shortcomings, creating feedback mechanisms, and improving internal process flows through leadership education. I not only work to make the flow more efficient, but also, I strive to ensure employees know WHY they are doing something, which I believe is a critical element to success.
Experience
From retail settings to corporate offices, local businesses and multi-location retailers, I enjoy getting to know each company’s story and employees, and use my experience to make their workplace more efficient and hopefully more fun. My financial savvy has helped many frazzled owners regain control of their business systems.
Strengths
Communication and education are at the heart of all I do. Beginning with your financial snapshot, I use my farm-girl appreciation for a job done right to hone in on your business’ operation patterns. Good patterns and processes should be repeated and those with challenges should be refined to meet the desired output.
Proven Success
The Numbers Don’t Lie
While no two dealers are the same, my strategies return similar results. Regardless of whatever was underperforming, together we will measure progress and see clear results. Increased sales, improved gross margin, debt reduction – it will all add up to a healthier bottom line.
