Taking a new year resolution is the easiest thing one does, and forgetting it in a weeks time or by the end of january is common too.
Let me ask you a simple question, what for do we take a new year resolution ?
I am sure the answer is to pick up good habits, or to do some thing better on our school, college, office, businesses, employees and so on. Some new year resolutions are to stop the bad habits we have like, smoking, Drinking and drugs etc...So why this new year resolution is all about and why majority of individuals take new year resolution, well the answer , to have a new and fresh start to life, relations, businesses and make things better for us and everyone who is associated with us.
For retailers new year resolutions is to improve the customer delight and improve as unit. Today's story of our young retailer friend Mahesh will tell you how he was holding back his new year resolution and what made him stick to his plans and win
Mahesh runs a department store, and is a busy man handling all the transactions and analyzing the outcomes every month, he was thinking for long to get a software for his business but failed due to lack of courage and holds back his plan;s year after another.
His father also contributes to the business and is not in favor of software and thus tells him, it is better to have control on our own hands rather then depending on a software.
All the education goes for a toss when your family insists you for not opting for right options and sticking to an age old traditional method of operating a retail store.
