Strategic Results

“Alan Roseman at Strategic Results has become an important part of our management team here at ZJ Boarding House. We first hired Alan to provide us OTB merchandising plans and help us with our cash flow. His OTB planning has become invaluable to us and my buyers look forward to working with Alan every month and sometimes more often. All of us at ZJ Boarding House have also learned a great deal from Alan on OTB, margin and turn-over. But Alan does much more then just OTB planning for us. He is a wealth of knowledge on store layout and displays, marketing and in-store promotions. We now include Alan on virtually all of our internal communications as he provides great feedback and ideas. Alan has my highest recommendation and I will be glad to discuss him and his service at anytime.”

“Every month I work with Alan of Strategic Results. We go over what sells, what doesn't, how much money to spend on dresses, tops, bottoms, handbags and accessories to feed the store.  He has really helped me from overbuying in the wrong classes.  He also tells me when to take markdowns and how much to mark it down.  Alan is a great source of information and helps me with all sorts of retail issues including store expenses, advertising, my POS system, and even employee compensation.   He has really has made me a better business woman.  I’ve worked with Alan since September of 2007 and it's the best money I've ever spent on the store.”

"Alan has been very helpful in getting our buying under control.  The Open-to-Buy projections are very accurate and with Alan’s guidance, our buyers are now landing the correct amount of fresh new merchandise in each of the classifications in our store.  This was very difficult at first, as we had too much old inventory from previous season due to overbuying.  Alan has also helped us to better use our POS system and taught us a new way to manage purchase orders and receiving.  He also got us to start using email as a method of marketing to our customers and also helps us with  expense management and cash flow projections.  I am sure that he would be a great asset to any retailer that wants to grow their business."

"Alan and his company Strategic Results is always challenging me to do better.  He really tries to get me to improve my business.  I am not a marketing person, but Alan pushes me to get out emails and to keep in touch with my customers.  The OTB merchandise plans are very accurate and Alan is always trying to get me to try new items in my store.  While I don’t always agree with him, he does make me re-think my buying process.  And in these difficult retail times, anything that I do to keep my inventory in balance, reduce the amount of season ending markdowns and keep customers visiting my store is worthwhile."

“Alan and his company, Strategic Results, really helped us get our inventory in balance at both of our stores.  This had a positive impact on improving our cash flow.   Every month he challanges our buyers to improve markup and turn rates.  Alan also helps us with our marketing efforts with new ideas in both direct mail and email.”

"I’m not a numbers person and Alan keeps me focused on buying into classes that are driving profits to our business.  Our inventory is in balance and our cash flow has improved.  We have also lowered the amount of markdowns of previous season goods and are working to improve even more by following the OTB plans closer.  Alan also helps us with our marketing and he always gives us ideas of new things to try."

"As a new store, Alan has been very helpful in getting me organized.  He creates a very thorough breakeven analysis and helped me to reduce some of my expenses.  He has also helped me to understand the reports in our new POS system.  Alan really understands retail and always gives me ideas on store layout and display.  I opened the store with too much inventory, and with Alan’s help we finally got our inventory in balance as we transitioned from fall to spring.  The merchandise plans take all the guess work out of my buying.   Alan is really a retail coach and it is refreshing to have an outside perspective of what is going on in the retail community other then what I see in my store and community."

“I have worked with Alan for several years when he was a service provider to our clients and several more years as a representative of our Winning@Retail processes. I can honestly say that Alan is one of the most sincere, hard-working and dedicated individuals I have come across in my career. Alan works hard to communicate effectively and is always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that a client is successful. He is always willing to get input and ideas that benefit his clients and does not let ego get in the way of his client's success. He gets more great testimonials than any other affiliate which enforces my perception of his work.”
