Many of our owners start their day in the store with a team huddle and a look at their goal boards. Once the team is ready to go, a networking meeting or a sales call is often on the agenda. Most of the day is spent outside of the store, but towards the end of the afternoon they will head in to assess what inventory needs to get ordered for production. They wrap up their day by checking the production schedule, goal board status and an automated QuickBooks entry from the proprietary point of sale system.
