At
the request of my many workshop participants, I have put my ideas
in a book entitled, “Turbocharge
Your Retail Business”. My book
will be released very soon. You will learn how to outmaneuver
and outperform the big guys. I chose the title as a visual awakening
for any independent business owner wanting to turbocharge their
attitude, their employees, their colleagues, their customers, or
their ability to compete in the Big Box Retail World.
Roy Prevost is widely regarded as one of North America’s
leading experts in helping small business survive and thrive in
a Big Box world. Operating out of Vancouver, Canada.
In both his writing and his speaking, Roy offers direct, clear
and actionable advice which has a profound impact on his audiences
because he is passionate about his subject and committed to helping
anyone who is smart enough to listen.
