PART II: “GO LONG”
?

GO LONG – origin from American football – throw long passes in an effort to move the ball downfield, score quickly and demoralize the opposition. In retail business – “going long” – a strategy to rack up profits and put the game out of reach of would-be competitors. Going long : a business approach where one prepares for expansion from the very start -> one can strike quickly and grow rapidly when one decides to expand.

?

?

BLUEPRINT FOR EXECUTION
?

Strategic Planning Process 1) Strategic Plan 2) Operating Plan – Milestones, 1-3 year projections, specific metrics

3) Budget – P&L budget, Capital budget, Anticipated results and measurements
4) Performance Review – progress v/s budget, identify problem areas, actions to address problems

SEARCHING FOR HEART, NOT PEDIGREE
? ? ? ? ?

Need to bring aboard seasoned professionals to “go long”. It?s not about the best resume or an Ivy League degree Prefer “utility players” over specialists Use the personal interview well Take 3rd party assistance for good recruitment

Investing wisely in Investors
• Individual investors, DDM, angel investors • Venture Capitalists – come later when firm has proven its concept and needs to rapidly expand, board membership, ROI in 3 to 5 years • Investment community – closely knit • Look for a long term investor – your values and mission resonate with him, it’s not just the bottom line

KICKING THE ECONOMIC MODEL INTO GEAR
?

?

?

? ?

?

?

Understanding financials in broader terms to connect them with operations Robust economic model to generate excess cash to power expansion – Gross Margin, Revenue, COGS, Net Income Gross margins track differentiation – more specialized the product, the higher the gross margin Net store income – the thing that matters Compare your results with annual reports of competitiors in the same category Measure Avg. sales volume per store, Sales per square foot Put expenses to the test – Labor costs, Occupancy costs

GOLDEN RULES !!
? ?

?

?

? ?

Always look for real estate when u don?t need it Never locate near tenants who target a less affluent customer than u do Never ever take a space down any stairs. Only one time in a 100 should u take a space that requires shoppers to go up stairs Don?t be penny-wise, pound-foolish and attempt to negotiate down your broker?s fee Most of the time a corner site is best Everything is negotiable !!
