Many who open a dollar store realize they need the help and support of a dollar store expert to expedite the opening of their store. They realize many of the stumbling blocks to reaching their grand opening can quickly and easily be dealt with when an expert is involved. Yet when all the facts are in, many so-called experts are really in it for their own benefit and not yours. It is important to make sure you select a true expert. It is important that your chosen expert is focused on only on thing; your success. When you open a dollar store be sure the dollar store expert you select has actual hands-on experience. This isn’t a time for someone to gain knowledge at your expense. You need someone who knows the ins and outs of the dollar, discount business and can help you achieve true success. Make sure your expert has actual experience in the dollar industry. You don’t need someone who knows theory, but doesn’t know the actual workings of a retail store. Check references before committing to use a dollar store expert. Any expert who cannot provide real clients as references should probably be avoided. You want someone who can provide references – and who does so willingly. Make sure to contact the references and ask the hard questions about the support received, whether they would recommend the expert to you, and whether they would use the expert again themselves. You need an expert who makes you comfortable. This needs to be someone you feel you can truly trust. Their style needs to fit the way you learn and work best. After all, you are risking your business success whenever you bring in an expert – especially if you plan to listen and then implement the ideas and suggestions that are given to you. Agree to the cost before you agree to use the dollar store expert. Make sure the actual amount being paid to the expert for their services – and what those services are – is clearly outlined in your agreement. Don’t allow costs to be hidden in packages. Ask for a breakdown so you know what you are receiving for the prices paid. While a good, seasoned expert can save you many thousands of dollars, you want to know what that savings is costing you as well. You want to know exactly what is provided for the costs incurred.
