Introducing

Profit Club

Uncertainty makes our minds turn to fear, it makes us react instead of respond. But it is in our response, not our reaction that we find growth and freedom.

When you join the Profit Club it’s like we turn on the overhead lights, when before all you had was a flashlight.

We take your numbers and turn them into useful, insightful knowledge that changes everything.

You will finally feel in control of your inventory, team, sales and marketing, and the skills you develop in these areas will be what propels your profits, success and freedom to the next level.

What's Included:

Monthly 1:1 Strategy Session (Value $12,999) 

Each month, you’ll meet with your personal, experienced retail coach for a powerful 45 minute strategy session to determine what YOU need to thrive. Is figuring out how to pay for a team? Solving existing team issues? Is it fine tuning your marketing, or support with doing Facebook lives? Is it figuring out your finances and making sure you are cash flow positive?

Your coach will use key information (including your profit margin, markdown percentages, product freshness, stock to sales ratio and more) to paint a complete picture of WHY you might be hurting, spotlight opportunities and identify the quickest path and the most profitable steps to take to reach your goals - all based on your unique and individual data. 

In addition to your monthly strategy session you will also have access to unlimited email support from your coach!

When I joined the Profit Club I was ready for change. I was ready to grow the business but didn't know how I could possibly add one more thing to my plate. I was anxious about my financials. Now I'm knowledgeable about the financials of my shop. Working on the numbers keeps me on track and allows me to make smart financial decisions. I know that if I don't like my sales numbers, I have the tools now to change them. That has given me peace of mind. All of this has allowed me to become a better retailer. I feel like I finally have control of my business. I am so grateful, especially through this stressful year, that I have RETAILMavens on my side.

Our Profit Club clients are dedicated retailers who aren’t afraid to change what isn’t working, and adopt new habits, strategies and processes. They wholeheartedly embrace building on their strengths and eradicating their weaknesses.

They love linking arms with, and being an ally of a community of diverse and like minded business owners. They don’t hold back when a fellow retailer needs support, and they’re not afraid to receive that same support when they need it.

In other words, this program is not for everyone.

And we only work with people we know we can help.

If you are ready to be the CEO your business, your community and your life need you to be, we invite you to apply now

I can honestly say I would not be in business right now without the RETAILMavens Profit Club. We’ve been through so many challenging times, from the economic downturn in through the pandemic!
The most crucial thing is they have shown me where to spend my dollars for the best return, how much revenue to expect, and how to communicate effectively with my customers and my staff. Most recently, through the pandemic, the timely information, steady coaching, and encouragement to act “out of the box” has gotten me through with actually way more money in the bank and less debt than this time last year! I really couldn’t ask for more! Thank you!!!

- Sylvia H. Ooh la la

The main challenge that brought me to RETAILMavens was cash flow. Though I was working my tail off I always ran out of money. In a year where we lost a large revenue stream, with RETAILMavens help we were able to hit last year's sales number. After getting my head around my numbers, getting my inventory more in line with my sales, hiring an employee, and getting through 2020, I'm very glad I joined the Profit Club.

- Megan B. Knit & Bolt

RETAILMavens Profit Club has helped us with all aspects of controlling our inventory, from turning it, separating it into classes and when to discount. We’ve also learnt the importance of really understanding the numbers of the business and how to take action right away. With the help of the Profit Club we went from $250,000 to $1 million in sales over the course of 7 years, built an awesome team, and have a greater understanding of inventory.

- Shanna D. Azure

  • I don’t know if I can afford it?
  • On average, our Profit Club clients see a return of four to seven times their investment. The first thing we’ll take action on is tweaking your cost of goods sold which can result in thousands of dollars in profit right away. On average, their sales have increased 16.1% with 19.9% less inventory! The strategies and systems you’ll apply will increase your profits and reduce unnecessary costs.

    If we determine during your discovery call that the investment doesn’t make sense for you right now, we will recommend the next best step for you and your business based on where you are. We will always be honest with you, and if the Profit Club is not right for you, we will tell you.
  • What kind of support do I get in this program?
  • To ensure you are maximizing your success, we provide five levels of support in this program:

    → A 45 minute one-on-one call with your personal coach every month

    → Unlimited email access to make sure you get all your questions answered

    → A group coaching and Q&A call with Cathy Donovan Wagner

    → Accountability to Plan, Implement and Commit to your success through your weekly PIC Krew

    → Community support, inspiration and ideas through our private Profit Club Facebook group

If there ever was a time for independent retailers to rise & thrive - it is now! 

You have a choice right now. You can continue as you were, on your own.

Or you can dare to dream.
Dare to create a vision of what your ideal life and store looks like

And then make the bold decision to get there faster, with the help of a team of experienced retail experts, surrounding yourself with a community of like-minded business owners who will inspire and support you.
