"It is what has been needed in the retail world: A real world guide based on real experience "

As retail technology spending skyrockets, customer satisfaction with retailers declines. ...Maybe the reason is that the real magic of retail doesn't come from a software program.

Flora Delaney, retail expert and consultant with experience across the globe helping retailers fix their operations, says retail success comes from just 7 Timeless Principles.

"I'm tired of people telling us retail is dead - it is as much a part of our world and culture as ever. When retailersfocus on the 7 Timeless Principles it is a WIN for eveyone - includding their shoppers and their bottom line."

At the insistence of past clients, Flora has documented what the best retailers know and how everyday retail employees, department heads and store managers can make their store more profitable as well as a more fun place to work and shop.

Like Good to Great and The One Minute Manager, store leaders across every channel are sure to turn to this essential book again and again to answer questions and solve problems. Flora's optimism, easy-to-understand approach and humor energizes senior managers, business owners and casual staff members to make changes to improve their store.
