The most powerful form of advertising is a personal referral.
Whether it is at a client seminar, a trade show, or even one of our monthly consulting phone calls, it seems that our clients (and sometimes our peers) can’t say enough about how pleased they are with the results that they have gained through working with us. The testimonials on this page are from jewelry store owners and managers, just like you, who came to Focus for consulting and mentorship. Some came because they needed a few ‘tweaks’ to their operational process to get it perfected, while others were in dire straits and were desperate for help. Please review these testimonials to see how we have helped these folks turn their businesses around, straighten out their inventory, reduce their vendor debt, increase their profitability, and ultimately free them from their stressful situations and restore their peace of mind.
Before delving into our client testimonials, please watch this short video by Bill Boyajian, author, consultant, and former President of the Gemological Institute of America. Hear why Bill has called Focus’ founder, Don Greig, the “patriarch of retail jewelry consulting” and why he was pleased to include Don in his new book, “Developing the Mind of a Leader”.

They saved me from bankruptcy. By working with Focus, I was able to reduce my vendor debt from roughly $250,000 to zero. I didn’t know how we could get out of that … it was a big hole we were in … It’s amazing!

Promises, Promises! Everybody makes them but Focus Management Delivers! Lower Inventory 20%, Higher Gross Margin, More Enthusiastic Staff, but most importantly, we went from profitable to incredibly profitable. My return on investment with Focus was less than 30 days. This business is fun again.

It was the biggest cliff I ever thought I’d jump off, but we jumped off it … Focus has allowed us to get a good understanding of our own business from a financial point of view and inventory view … to become more profitable in a short amount of time.

Written Testimonials
Dennis Vondrell
Once in a great while a truly great opportunity comes along. For us, Focus Management was that opportunity and they delivered results. Thanks to Focus Management software tools and management consultant Don Greig, we dramatically improved our cash flow, gross profit, control of our inventory investment and more than doubled our annual stock turn. These improvements were so dramatic that we were able to relocate into a beautiful 4000 sq. ft. store built to our design. I encourage anyone looking for an opportunity to improve your business and enhance your lifestyle to take action and enlist the help of Focus Management today!
