Mastering Inventory & Cash Flow: Retail Success Strategies with Dane Cohen
About this episode
Pete Mohr welcomes Dane from Management One for a no-nonsense conversation about one of the most critical and misunderstood aspects of retail: inventory. They explore the difference between inventory management and inventory planning, why open-to-buy isn’t outdated, and how retailers can use data to stop guessing and start profiting—even in uncertain times.
What You’ll Learn:
→ Why slashing expenses won’t save your store
→ The real cost of dead inventory (and what to do about it)
→ How open-to-buy forecasting gives you control
→ The mistake of underbuying when business slows
→ Why now is the time to double down on your best categories
