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.

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.
