"Jim, I'm giving you the freedom to fail." Those words from one of my great bosses, John Hardy, Atlanta Division Deli Merchandising Director. I'm the yellow chicken in the back. We were kicking off the summer 1986 season with a fried chicken promotion. For the record it took six rides on the Six Flags Over Georgia roller coaster to get the photo shot just right. I think everyone thought John was nuts when he said we were going to sell "cold fried chicken" in the deli cases at Kroger. That's right. Marinate overnight, fry the chicken, put it in the cooler overnight, display it in the case the next day. "A lot of people in the South like cold fried chicken the next day," John said. He was right. The chicken tonnage doubled in the Atlanta Division from this smart marketing move. This is one example of how he led me to experiment and be unafraid to try new ideas. One way I did that was to take our fresh-made pizzas and tilt them on display in upright refrigerated cases to catch the attention of shoppers on their way to the check-out lanes. That was a success too. By late August I was invited to fly with John to Louisville KY to the #1 deli in the Kroger company to see how to merchandise in the new European curved glass cases. We were met by the Cincinnati corporate head of Deli Merchandising. That kind of exposure never hurts. Looking back, I realize this was my first "sales" job. It wasn't line management like it was when I was a store manager. It was a role where you had to "sell your ideas" to other store managers and deli managers in order for them to improve sales and profits. We did over 15 grand openings of many new Kroger stores during my two-year merchandising role, from Rome to Newnan, Alpharetta to City Center. I realize it shaped how I would approach job roles over the years. I became the person my bosses would pick to pioneer new initiatives. And I succeeded. It's amazing what giving yourself the freedom to take calculated risks, the freedom to fail, can do for your mindset and your career. What initiatives have you taken while being unafraid to fail? Please share in the comments. #risktaking #merchandising #salestips #jimkerlinconsulting

#hiring *Store Manager - Beachwood Place (Cleveland, OH)*, Cleveland, *United States*, fulltime #jobs #jobseekers #careers #Clevelandjobs #Ohiojobs #RetailConsumerProducts *Apply*: https://lnkd.in/g6hQifJ9 Store Manager Benefits and Perks:AKIRA offers competitive benefits for full time employees, including Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, LTD, FSA/HSA, 401(k), and employee discount. We are committed to encouraging internal development and providing significant career enrichment opportunities. Most importantly, what has propelled AKIRA's growth and success over the years has been the dynamic culture within the company - if you're filled with passion, have a strong desire to get things done, and if you want to go to a place where you know your work matters and where you can implement your ideas and decisions, then AKIRA just might be the place for you.About AKIRA:In 2002, AKIRA opened the doors to its first women's clothing boutique in Chicago. Since then, the company has extended its reach to 30+ stores across the United States, as well as a thriving eCommerce business () AKIRA is extremely well-poised for sustained growth as we continue to build a nationally recognized brand. AKIRA's culture has one very large, distinct difference from other accessible high fashion competitors: Other-Worldly Customer Service and Fanatical, Obsessive Attention to the consumer's needs and desires. The core principle for all employees at AKIRA is to Act and Think Like an Owner, and this belief can be reflected across all areas of the company. Overview:AKIRA Store Managers are fanatical salespeople, goal-driven & servant leaders. They ensure that our customers are styled by experts who eat, sleep, and breathe fashion. We live to make our customers look & feel good! They relentlessly hire & train to ensure their store has top-notch talent! By leading by example and thinking & acting like an owner, our managers stop at nothing from achieving their personal & store goals. Over time, a store takes on the personality of the manager.

In my opinion, some of the behind-the-scenes magicians in the #cannabis industry are the team members responsible for assortment planning. This team ensures our stores have the right assortment, in the right locations, at the right time to meet the needs of patients and customers. For many retailers, the "right inventory, right place, right time" equation is often the difference between maximizing sales and missing opportunities. In the cannabis industry, this role is still evolving, and many businesses are still figuring out the best ways to implement an assortment architecture, a localized product mix, and an appropriate inventory allocation strategy. One of my passions, and a key focus in my discussions with tech leaders throughout the industry, is refining the assortment planning process to better meet market demand and enhance customer experiences. This is not a journey for the faint of heart, but I'm fortunate to work with some of the best in the industry to continue positive change! #retail #sales #wholesale #marketing #technology #management #socialmedia #digitalmarketing #finance #humanresources #hiring #inspiration #motivation #recruiting iAnthus Patrick Scatamacchia Tony Metricarti Erin Kijanka Brad Kotansky Matthew Taber Kaelan Donadio Kennedy Sulton Wesley Donahoe Alex Carll Victor Hernandez Laura Potter Andrew Plante Justin Vu, CPA Dylan Collins John Wagner Erin McCarthy Kevin Reimer Cassie Kilmartin David Applebaum Anna Quaranto Stephanie Flynn
