"​Since working with Chris, my business is more profitable, my work/life balance is way better, and my employees are happier. She is both knowledgeable about traditional business management practices and wise to the new ways of running a small business. It's a perfect combination! 

I contacted Merchant Method when, after a big move in my business life, I realized I needed some more professional training. I was looking specifically for a company with amazing retail and management expertise, and boy, Merchant Method is that company!"

"Working with Merchant Method has been one of the best decisions I could've made ─ not only for myself but also for my business, staff, family, and friends. I went into the Merchant Method consulting program a complete wreck and came out feeling more in control of my business.

I will always remember the first time I met Chris. She told me that she was going to teach me to control my business instead of allowing my business to control me, and that is what she did! Bravo!!! Thank you so much I will forever be grateful."
