Slingin’ Shoes Episode Six - Compensation, Inspiration and So Much More

Every run store owner will tell you how crucial their employees are to their success. That begs the question then, how do you attract good employees and retain them? Kris Hartner, owner of Naperville Running helps us attack the thorny issue of employee compensation. In a world where there is no “one size fits all” approach (just like shoes!), Hartner and co-host Chris Farley share what works for them.

On the sponsor side, we sit down with Bill Sternoff of BodyGlide, the man with the smoothest pipes in the business. Bill tells the story of how he got into the run business and dishes on how his former career as a TV anchorman in Los Angeles helped teach him about retail merchandising and service.
