If you are like the dozens of owners who call us each and every week, you have plenty of things to stress about right now in your business.  The least of which is not federally regulated maximum interest rates per state or that cover all states.  This was a massive fear years ago with the MLA and is now on the table again.  We cannot be passive in this fight because sooner or later this fight is going to come to your door.  In addition to joining, working with and pushing your state, local and national associations and  lobbyists to fight for your rights, we NEED to act now.  We can help you get ready for if/when this does become a realty while we help you transform your business to the next level.  We have been on the front end of change since joining this industry more than a decade ago and we will continue to help the pawnbrokers succeed no matter what their challenges are.  We recommend that you work on the following to help you weather this storm and others:

Recommended Services for 2021

Hands on Pawnbroker & Sales Training This training is designed to help pawnbrokers to get their staff to sell more and discount less, get customers to bring in the items that we truly want to buy and loan on, write more loans that actually collect more interest than you normally do, and so much more. This service also includes training on perfect pricing and merchandising and how to develop relationships with clients. If you want to grow your business, this hands-on training is essential for you!  Included in all Service Packages and can be an individual service.

Commission and Bonus*– We help pawn businesses just like yours make more money and be more successful by helping them create the perfect commission plan for your hourly staff and bonus plans for your managers.  The perfect commission plan for your business means better employee performance, better employee retention and more profit for you as the owner! This plan is custom for your business and that is why it is only included in Service packages.

Create Online Sales Programs and Initiatives– We have helped create online sales programs where you can market, advertise and even sell your merchandise online.  When you have tons of inventory, finding out where to begin is a daunting task. We have done this for not only pawnshops, for second-hand goods retailers, e-commerce companies, cell phone stores, jewelry and watch buyers and sellers, and so much more!  If you need to get an online presence, we are the folks that you need to talk to!  Included in all Service Packages and can be an individual service.

Perfect Pricing & Merchandising– If you want to sell more merchandise at a better price, have less aged inventory, and discount less while doing it, you need to learn the art of perfect pricing and perfect merchandising of your store.  We will help you achieve this and more.  This is included in every service package because it goes hand in hand with our pawnbroker and sales staff training but can also be used as an individual service because of the major impact it can make.

Key Performance Indicators(KPI) We as a team help you define what key performance indicators you need to know, how to manage and track them, and more importantly we teach you how to use these metrics to understand what is going on in your business; both good and bad.  We take those key learnings from the metrics and apply it to the pawnbroker training to make your business more successful.  We have been told that our metrics are better, more unique and more accurate than that of even other pawnshop consultants.  Included in all Service Packages and can be an individual service.

New-Age Marketing and Advertising Plans – We will help you create a new marketing and advertising program that provides a maximum return on investment.  Many parts of the plan will require minimal dollar expenditure while still providing maximum increased traffic.  We understand what “old school ” advertising works, but more importantly we use our experience in other industries to target customers who are not using our services and get them to not only come in and see us, but those that already do use us to use us more frequently. Included in all Service Packages and can be a stand-alone service as well.

Tax Review Consultation– The IRS itself will tell you that business owners only take advantage of 7-10% of the tax breaks that they qualify for simply because most of them do not know they exist.  We will review your taxes for FREE and show you how much LESS you should have paid in taxes and then it is up to you how you plan to handle your tax situation going forward.  This service is available to EVERYONE (paid client or not) and is included in every single service package.

All of these services and more are included in our most basic package and is why we are know as the best value for your buck in the business!  Find out more today by calling 727-580-5876 or contacting us directly 24/7.
