IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO, BUT YOU'RE STILL WONDERING,
HOW DO I?
It’s because you haven’t been taught the knowledge you need to succeed, including how to master inventory management, business operations, interpersonal relationships, and content marketing.
Without these skills, you’ll always feel like you’re playing catch up, struggling to make your passion profitable. Instead of enjoying the parts you love about your business, you’ll stay stressed and stuck, constantly wondering — How do I...? |

"With the onset of Covid it was necessary for the gallery to expand our virtual presence, figure out if the experience of going to a gallery event could be replicated online, and figure out how to better engage with clients when they couldn't visit in person.
With Chris' guidance, I was able to developed some clear and tangible goals for marketing a fine art gallery online. We outlined a website redesign with more intention and planned a well of relevant content that will give clients the confidence they need to feel comfortable engaging with and purchasing artwork online. My experience working with Chris has proven to be more valuable over time. I came away from our personal coaching experience with more confidence in my decisions, and a strategic plan to move forward on actionable items that had tangible results built in. However, the payoff really began when I launched some of the plans we had developed and started to see the results that were hoped for." |

"Merchant Method will put your business through its paces, ask tough questions, hold you accountable and (in the end) bring you out on the other side with amazing results.
I consider working with Merchant Method my business therapy. I cried, laughed, cheered, and trudged through the mud of business ownership with Chis by my side. She was a constant source of information and guidance, and helped me generate more self confidence than I could have imagined."

"Merchant Method gave me the tools to effectively manage my business with the big picture in mind instead of focusing solely on the day-to-day, which was overwhelming.
Instead of guessing, Merchant Method gave me realistic management practices to implement. We worked on retail skills including calendar management, effective vendors communications, and retail math. As retail business owners, we are surrounded by the public all day, every day. It can be quite isolating. My shoulder-to-shoulder work with Chris was like my weekly retail therapy session and it enabled me to ask questions of a retail veteran rather than guess what to do next. I can't recommend Merchant Method enough. I love Chris! " |
