Selling the Customer What the Customer Needs Not What You Want
I’d like to tell you a little story about Sam, an old acquaintance of mine. The first time I met Sam I had stopped in his little general store while passing through town to buy some soda for my long car ride back home. His was the only store in this very small rural town and he did a sizable amount of business. As I walked down one of the aisles to get to the refrigerated coolers in the back where they kept the soda, I couldn't help but notice that the shelves were loaded with containers of salt for sale. There were salt containers from the front of the aisle to the back, from top to bottom, and on both sides of the aisle. I couldn't believe it, an entire aisle dedicated to just salt.

By consistently stocking his shelves with discounted products, keeping later hours than most others, and buying wholesale goods from the cheapest suppliers, Walton managed to significantly increase his sales volume.

Lesson #3: Put Yourself in Your Customers’ Shoes
Hindsight is 20/20. Looking back on the success – or lack thereof – of his first Subway store, DeLuca acknowledges that his biggest mistake was its “crummy location. In February, the store was doing so bad that we were thinking of closing up.” But together with his partner, Buck, the pair decided to try something even more eccentric: they decided to open up a second store. “We talked ourselves into building the second store,” says DeLuca.

Productivity
I worked in a grocery store as a youngster. The Depression was on, inventories were limited and merchants frequently ran out of stock items.

Following the Leader Who Follows the Leaders

Beware Southern Drivers During Snowstorms
First of all, there are no snowstorms as far south as I live even though the slightest flurry causes everyone to rush to the store and clean the shelves of bread, milk and batteries.

Organization Structure Limits or Liberates High Performance
The CEO of a national retailer was very frustrated.
