Big Breakthroughs Happen in the Level Up Mastermind
What Level Up Mastermind members experience…
Sylvia – Louisville Mercantile
Amy – The Hare and The Hart
Millie – Mrs Blackwell’s Village Book Shop
Huge wins this past year! Sales are currently up 22%, I’ve paid myself more at this time of the year. I’ve had much more CEO time and spent it looking at the right things. Clearer tracking of the products selling. Tracking Foot traffic, conversion etc. I’m way more consistent with marketing, hired a new key team member, and delegated more to her! ~ Emily
I finally feel as if I can breathe. Business doesn’t feel so hard and heavy. Making so much progress. – Amy H
Because of this mastermind, I’m more focused on strategy implementation. I’m gaining info from others that allows us to spend less time implementing and/or getting over roadblocks, currently up almost 30% over last year. We keep moving forward. It’s a special place to learn from retailers like you, share thoughts/ideas/planning with others in a receptive and safe environment, have buddies who you can vent with, and have a special business network like no other.
Don’t hesitate to join.
~Jeff
I’ve made such huge progress on understanding my business financials. “The math stuff”, inventory control, creating new revenue “buckets” and being able to roll with the times easier. The peer-to-peer support is amazing and goes above and beyond. ~ WJ
I see ROI from this group every month. On time and money. No question, I’m staying in the Level Up Mastermind group until you kick me out. ~ Amy C
I have had much growth with sales and profits this year. Sales are currently up 114% compared to last year and more importantly, profits have doubled ~ Lee
