Furniture and Mattress Shopping Tips, Secrets, and Advice
Description
Allow me to introduce myself. I was in the furniture business. For over 24 years. But I wasn’t always in the furniture business. I started my professional career as an accountant. Helping other folks make and save money.
Upon graduation from the University of Missouri-Columbia (1973), I went to work for an international manufacturing company as a plant accountant. Within 6 months I was promoted to the assistant controller’s position over an entire division. While being promoted to such a position so quickly out of college was a heady experience, I yearned to be in business for myself.
Three years later I got the opportunity. My father-in-law called to say he wanted to expand his 20+ year old furniture business and asked me to come to work. Within four years we tripled the sales volume. We grew by simply demanding that our customers have access to the very best furniture (and carpet) values we could find. (I know that sounds like a commercial, but it’s the honest truth.)
