Chris Sertzel

The single most comprehensive and informative factual guide for pet grooming business management, and tuning into effective business growth. No other books even exist that address so completely how to adapt your grooming business in any market and make that business grow to its fullest potential. This book is a MUST have for those groomers who aren't business minded, and for those who are as well, as there are so many strategic and yet simplified ideas in this book.

From Problems to Profits Succeeds

This is the definitive book on the "business side" of grooming. Why another reviewer here would say to refer to Notes From The Grooming Table doesn't make sense. It's a great book on the "how to groom side" of grooming and is not a book on the business side of grooming at all. From Problems to Profits for the business side of grooming and Notes for the styling side of grooming and you have the best of the best today.

Improved the net profit of our grooming business by 50%.

I purchased From Problems to Profits in August of 1996, and by November begain implementing the plan in the book, The Madson Management System. In 8 months we had streamlined our staff, completely reworked our appointment scheduling, and not only adjusted our prices, but totally restructured our pricing methods. By the end of 1997 my accountant reported an improvement in our net profit of 50%. My wife and I are seeing our dream of a strong, healthy and growing business becoming a reality.

Finally a book about opening a pet grooming business!

At first we thought this book might just be the author's story opening a famous grooming salon. To our surprise there is just a little about her experience, but all of her trade secrets in an easy-to-use business plan format. We have never seen a business book so well organized. Just the forms alone in the book make it worth the price. It really is a masterpiece of organizing so much information about a facsinating industry. I can see why it has won awards. Highly recommended for anyone thinking of opening a dog grooming business.
