Rainmaker Software

Rainmaker Software's Operational Audit Groups provide an on-going opportunity for owners to improve their business skills in the areas of sales, financial management, marketing and day-to-day operating procedures.

Six non-competing retailers commit to meet with each other over a two-year period for the purpose of generating ideas and exchanging information that have made their retail operations successful. Meetings are arranged so that all members will be able to attend and avoid other scheduling conflicts.

Each retailer is known by Rainmaker Software through past involvement with profit management seminars or groups. Each member is a successful operator and has demonstrated high performance in the past. Each member also has taken their company through the down side of a market and survived.

The objective of this group is to help the host owner "rip off the blinder" and get a perspective about their business and how they are doing. Our employees tell us what they think we want to hear; other Owners, in this setting, will tell us what we need to hear -- no holds barred.

Each member agrees to keep all discussions, notes and materials confidential and agrees to not exchange such information with any other outside sources. this is essential because of the nature of the discussions. A high trust level develops between members.

Meetings are held at each members company on a "round - robin" basis. Each member agrees to attend each meeting on a "dutch" basis. The host must provide satisfactory meeting room accommodations but does not have any responsibility for any other expenses of the visiting retailers or Rainmaker Software staff. Meetings are led by Bill Carr.

Appropriate training manuals will be provided.
