Client's On Their Experience With CCH Consulting And Store Closing Sales & Retirement Sales
“I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. We’re just a small shop in a small community. We had so many people and they were all buying. The best items sold first and we really didn’t mark them down that much/ We followed Chuck’s plan. The first weekend was really too busy. We could barley handle it. Bur after that customer traffic was just really very Steady. Customers were buying, not just looking. Chuck kept us on track through out the entire sale
“Closing a family business that started in 1957 a coming out of one of the warmest winters in our history, I was quite anxious when I thought about our store Retirement Sale. We had been in business for 38 years and I was ready to retire. I contacted Chuck and we really hit it off and I got the feeling that he really cared about the results of my sale and me. I could not be happier with the results or the working relationship Chuck and I shared. We made a good team. I knew the Skiing business and he knew the Retirement Sale business. It worked. We had tremendous results.”
“All my inventory liquidated. All my fixtures gone Clossed 3 days early. What’s more to say. Thanks Chuck”
“I owned a successful business for 31 years and when I decided to retire I knew I wanted to hire a professional to help. I knew nothing about how to close a store – what procedures, what time lines, discount strategy, staffing requirements, advertising, social media. You only have one opportunity. I wanted to do it right. From the first conversation with him, through out the preparation and sale Chuck was pleasant, easy to work with, honest and kind. The close out sale far surpassed my expectations and I would hire him again without hesitation and recommend him to anyone considering closing their store.
“The “Perfect Storm” that’s what it was. The sale started off big and just kept growing. But Chuck had us ready. The marketing, the approach to discounts and the timing of the sale could not have been better. Our results were much better than I anticipated. The sales were great, but what impressed me most was we were able to maintain a reasonable margin throughout the sale. Everything went just like Chuck said it would. We made a great team. His knowledge of store closings and my knowledge of my store and customers formed a great team. We knocked it out of the ballpark
” We were in the planning stages for our Retirement Sale when my husband, Liz hads heart attack and was hospitalized. I didn’t know what to do. Chuck stepped in and told me not to worry about the sale and to take care of my husband. He took charge and ran the sale for me. Our results were greater than I could have expected. Chuck and I talked regularly but I doubt that I was in the store more than once a week. I don’t know what I would have done without the help of CCH Consulting.
“The sale went so smoothly. Chuck always seemed to know what was next. He kept us focused and on track. I couldn’t have been any happier with the results of our store closing sale”
“We’re a real small community but people came from all around. We sold over 67 guns on the first day and by the end of the first weekend we didn’t have a handgun left to sell. Fisherman were buying 1/2 dozen of the same lure at a time.The expensive rods and reels sold first. We had 120 people in the door the first 10 minutes. It’s a damn good thing I listened to Chuck or we would never had made it.”
“After over 40 years in the shoe business I was pretty sure I knew how to run my small business. But I didn’t have any idea how to organize and promote a retirement store closing sale. I wanted to do it right. It was my retirement fund. Mine was a small store, both in size and inventory. I couldn’t afford to pay someone to be on site for several weeks. The plan tha Chuck offered really met my needs. The plan had timelines, guidelines and examples. Chuck was always available when I needed advice. I was amazed how smoothly it went with just a little help.
