Great retailers have one thing in common; they have phenomenal buying strategies! They don’t settle for what worked yesterday, they are constantly improving their buying processes, people and skills. Now you have an opportunity to experience first-hand the very best in buying available in the market place.

Brian Chesbro, one of the Countries best known retail inventory experts, is teaching a one-week Buyer’s Boot Camp, August 23-27th for those serious about using the best buying strategies! If purchasing is an area of opportunity in your stores, you can’t afford to miss this. Sign up today!

If you or one of your staff members is taking on a buying role, this is the best opportunity to get what it takes to excel at the buying process.

“Brian Chesbro is one of the best resources in the industry. If you are going to spend your money on training, why wouldn’t you want the best?”
