Testimonial
Working with Di has totally revitalized my Pharmacy retail business. From an initial consultation, a robust plan was put in place, that included: Improving the store layout, changing our product selection, that now matches our customer’s needs, working with existing suppliers for improved pricing with on-going promotions, and sourcing new product and suppliers. Sales and customer service trainings were initiated along with measures and targets. All these changes have resulted in steady constant sales growth.
My team love working with her and enjoy the positivity and energy she brings. I have continued to work with Di, on a monthly basis to keep us all accountable and on track for continued success.
