Our results are immediate, our relationships lasting!
Powered by unparalleled ‘deep-dig’ analytics developed and perfected over the past 30 years, our consultants provide expertise in retail operations, inventory control, and operational and financial management. They identify problems with, and provide solutions for, excessive debt, over stocking, deficient cash flow, and low sales volume. They answer the question many jewelers ask: “What should I buy?”Our clients represent a wide array of jewelry stores, with volumes ranging from $1 million to $25 million. Many are members of buying groups, such as IJO, RJO, CBG, or of organizations like the American Gem Society (AGS). Clients receive formal monthly management calls, have unlimited access to FOCUS advisors, and attend our workshops throughout the year, gaining valuable hands-on experience in running their stores.
Proven Results
A typical $1 million store can add an additional $100,000 in gross profit that is otherwise being lost. Our methodologies were used by one jeweler to grow his business from 5 stores to 20 stores. Success stories abound. You can be next.The right process, the right tools, correctly applied at the right time – that is how you grow long-term profits and how FOCUS Business Management Institute works!
