      Business consultant for local boutique looking to better understand her operation in hopes of increasing market share. Helped to redirect the marketing, advertising and communications efforts to better align with stated goals. Developed and implemented strong procedures for order tracking and intake of products into inventory which gave the owner clear visibility of what was in stock and in her pipeline so she could better forecast sales and budgets. The realization that the business was operating on an unsustainable model of financial "float" ultimately helped her come to terms with a decision to close up shop. Show less
