Overview
Supplier provides annual workshop for his retail owners & next generation owners (sons and daughters, etc.). ‘Retail Conference’ provides increased training for owners, builds morale and goodwill with the warehouse, and gives the retailer-and their families a ‘quick-breather’ from the store.
Supplier brings in retailers the night before, has a small cocktail party/meet and greet at the hosting hotel. Educational sessions begin at 8:00am sharp, and conclude at 5:00pm. Dinner begins at a nice restaurant from 7:00-8:00pm. Joe-The-Grocer takes the stage for a comedic look at the retail grocery business from 8:15-9:15pm. Attendees leave ‘fired up’, excited about their business, and ready to build sales. JWC is approached by several retailers who want ‘evaluations’ and project work in their store. JWC will follow up with the engaging retailers.
Next morning, back at the hotel conference room, there is a breakfast gathering and Retailer Q&A with Joseph Welsh Consulting and the Supplier staff and CEO. Q&A is lively, full of debate, politics, industry ideas and shortcomings. Retailers and their families, are headed back to their stores by Noon. A very productive conference, and the wholesaler has strengthened his retailers and their supply relationship.
