Michelle will walk us through the basics of inventory management: how to make smart buying decisions, track what you have, plan ahead for seasons and sales, and avoid the all-too-common trap of overbuying. You'll learn how to use customer feedback, sales data, and simple tools like spreadsheets to keep things running smoothly—and profitably. Expect helpful examples, real-life stories, and plenty of time for Q&A and group sharing at the end.
Bring your questions, your inventory struggles, and your curiosity. We’ll leave with new tools, better systems, and a clearer sense of how to buy with intention and confidence.
This event is completely free, and open to anyone looking to better manage their business. Let’s learn, grow, and keep building the kind of community where women thrive.
