February 17th, 2015

Think you’ve got all the answers on how to run your wine shop efficiently, effectively, and profitably? We bet you’re overlooking at least a few things. [level-members]

We recently came across an article on the website WikiHow.com and while it couldn’t be simpler or more basic, we’re willing to bet a bottle of your best Cabernet Franc that there’s at least one item on this list that you’ve either missed completely or could be doing a whole lot better.

Have a look here and let us know what you think.

Have you ever checked out your local SBA branch or similar small business development center? They really do provide great support.

We know #4 and #5 are problem areas for most owners. “Who needs a business plan? I’m already in business.” is a popular, and misguided, refrain. And the power of networking can’t be overstated.

#8, though, we know you’ve got that covered. I mean, you’re reading this now, aren’t you?
