The Financial Blind Spot Costing 7-Figure Stores Millions

About this episode

"You can't control tariffs. You can't control the weather. But you can control what's happening within your business."

Salena Knight has audited thousands of retail businesses since 2007 and found that 4 out of 5 seven-figure stores share the same blind spot—and it's not marketing. It's money. We talked about why inventory is secretly taxable cash sitting on your shelves, how one brand increased profit margins 30% by auditing their pick-and-pack costs, and why running a 30% off sale on luxury products got zero orders.
