Talking Bike Shop Business (and Design) Strategy in Napa, CA

The National Bike Dealers Association recently asked Brian to present to their Profitability Project Group #2 (there are three P2 groups). The Profitability Project (P2) aims to improve business for all the participating specialty bike retailers. Of course we took them up on the offer because the Profitability Project groups are made up of some of the best bicycle retailers in the country. The fact that the meeting was in Napa, CA didn’t hurt either!

Brian’s presentation was called, “Being the bike shop of the future is all about being a great retailer of today”. In it, Brian discussed the history of bike shops from the 1800’s to years in the future. He shared a whole bunch of things that today’s best retailers outside the bike world do today, and a zillion ways the bike shop of the future will change from today’s model.

We are considering hosting an online webinar where Brian would deliver this presentation in its entirety. If you are interested in attending, click here and we will send you further details when it happens.

Get Involved in P2

If you are a bike dealer and you have never heard of a P2 group, it would be in your very best interest to look into it. Each group is made up of non-competing dealers who meet to learn, compare, network, examine and analyze specific data from their business to help and support each other in business operation and strategy. The retailers within these groups are all very well respected dealers around the country with awesome shops. So, it’s a tremendous honor to be asked to present at one of their meetings!
