subject: Your Trusted Dollar Store Expert can Power Business Success [print this page] Those considering opening and operating a dollar store often quickly become overwhelmed with the many important steps they must take as they prepare and open for business. Those who are able to navigate through the start-up process then find owning and operating a dollar store involves many ongoing critical tasks as well. For some there is a little luck. For others a friend, relative or acquaintance steps in to help fill the gap when the owner doesn't know how to handle a task. For many one of the overlooked options that can really help is looking to a dollar store expert for answers and suggestions.
While the thought of turning to a dollar store expert might bring the picture of dollar signs to mind immediately, there are ways to minimize costs while getting the support only an experienced dollar store expert can provide. And often, those owning and operating a dollar store will find the support they receive is irreplaceable in terms of the positive impact it has on their business. Yet there are some cautions to remember if you are considering consulting with an expert.
First and foremost is to make sure you are really dealing with an expert. You need someone who has hands-on training, knowledge and experience in the dollar discount world.
Next make sure they can provide the specific help you need. If you need someone who knows how to cut costs, be sure to question every prospective expert about their experience and results cutting costs.
Make sure their experience lines up well with your store, location and shoppers. While there are exceptions, bringing in an expert with no experience dealing with a small, single store business may mean you need to ask many questions before making a decision. If your funds are limited, do not accept someone who only offers solutions involving spending money, and more money to reach the final goal.
Before making a final commitment, be sure your expert has the right personality, approach and methods of transferring information to meet your needs. The last thing you need is to be paying someone to help solve a problem and teach you what they are doing so the problem doesn't reoccur, and then find their teaching methods are non-existent. Their only action will be to quickly solve the problem without teaching you the steps to take if it ever reappears.
Above all else check references. If you are owning and operating a dollar store you cannot afford to have a fast-talker come in with a great story and then after spending your hard-earned money find the person and their company took your money and did not provide exactly the support you required.
To your success owning and operating a dollar store!
