Welcome to Season 5 of the Creative Shop Talk
Podcast!

 

Topics Covered in This Episode: 

As we roll into 2024, the way we market our
businesses, our customers’ expectations, and so many other things
are going to change.  Not in a HUGE way, but in Episode 190
I’m going to lay out and then dig deep into the 5 areas I believe
you should be focusing on in your retail business so you can see
big success in 2024.

 

The 5 Areas I Will Explain in Detail

1. Your Shop’s Financial Well Being

2. Your Sales & Marketing Strategy & Assets (and I
don’t just mean social media!)

3. Service and Hospitality

4. Being a Leader to Your Team

5. Your CEO Mindset (and Skillset)

 

If you are looking for support as we move into 2024,
my Retailer’s
Inner Circle is always open. One of my members just told me the
other day that she now feels “large and in charge” versus how she
felt prior to joining – what a compliment! My members are doing the
work and have access to countless masterclasses and trainings to
support them – not to mention an incredible group of likeminded
retailers and me as your coach. Join us
today!

 

“My mission is to help more retailers enjoy more joy,
freedom, and profitability in their shops this year.” -Wendy

About your host, Wendy Batten

In case we haven’t met yet, I’m Wendy, a small
business coach and founder of the
Retailer’s Inner Circle, where I help other independent shop
owners learn how to gain the right business skillsets to see more
profits, paychecks, and joy as they navigate running their retail
business. 

Through online classes, business coaching programs,
speaking, and a top-ranked podcast,
I’ve helped hundreds of retailers around the globe reclaim their
dream and see the success they want from their beautiful shops. My
signature private coaching community, The
Retailer’s Inner Circle, has helped retailers around the world
build their retail business skill sets and confidence. 

I am proud to have been featured in several major
publications, including my own business column in What Women Create
magazine. I have been

 privileged to be a guest on top-ranked podcasts
and sought-after as a guest speaker and teacher for several brands,
associations, and communities that are passionate about the success
of independent retailers.

When I’m not coaching, you will find me either DIYing
and renovating my very imperfect old crooked cottage by the sea in
the UNESCO World Heritage town of Lunenburg, NS, or blogging about
our travel and RVing adventures and the weird fun things we get up
to in our coastal village. I’d love to invite you to check out one
of my free resources for real retailers at https://wendybatten.com/free-resources/
