The Power of New
NOW PLAYING
Detail
A retailer's financial health is in direct proportion to the percentage of his inventory that is new. Paul will discuss Pareto’s Principle and how a retailer can accumulate old inventory without even realizing it, and that any inventory has hidden costs when it sits. A follow-up question discusses the distinction between “Fresh” and “New”.
