RESILIENT RETAILING
It's always a remarkable step forward to take the actions that allow you to focus on your passion.
What Would You Like To Improve Today?
I really want to
grow my monthly cash-on-hand balance.
You work hard for every penny you earn.
Struggling with a low cash balance at the beginning of the month makes getting products in the door and meeting payroll a challenge.
I've worked with clients for years, helping them increase their cash-on-hand balance using a twelve-month, forward-looking cash flow forecast. It's been such an essential part of their business success that I knew I had to develop a self-directed tool that would allow them to make sound business decisions.
And, this new application just came to fruition.

understand more about what's driving my current business, and what performs best seasonally throughlut the year.
Know Your Business
Having the right analytics at your fingertips can make the difference between good and bad buying decisions or the right marketing focus. Knowing what is essential to review before that trip to Market, what needs to be assessed before placing reorders, or what classifications should be the focus of your upcoming marketing campaigns can be challenging. Providing relevant analytics to clients over many years it became apparent how challenging it can be for the independent retailer to get the business intelligence they need.

I could use expert advice
on multiple topics, such as improving associate performance, business assessments, assortment planning, hiring, training, and operational best practices.
Professional Growth
Many clients begin their retail store ownership with little experience, while many have worked in retail but may not have the full suite of knowledge needed to run and buy for a store. That's where we come in. Having run stores large and small and with extensive buying experience, there is little we can't help you conquer.

I'd like to always own
the right amount of inventory at the right time, and in the right class.
It's a balancing act
Owning the right amount of stock each month to hit your forecasted sales takes planning. Using the best-in-class inventory management and open-to-buy plans available to the independent retailer, I've guided retailers to align their inventory levels by class to exceed their plan while maintaining cash flow and profitability.

"Deciding to work with Lonnie has been the best decision I have made for my business. She is extremely knowledgeable and has opened my eyes to so much more about the buying process than I thought as a buyer for 14 years I already knew. She exudes positivity and I look forward to meeting with her every month. She has truly supported all aspects of my business and I am so grateful for her support! She is one of the best and you would be lucky to work with her!"
