Candace welcomes a retail LEGEND on this episode of the Pet Boss Podcast! 🙌

Bob Negen of WhizBang! Retail Training has decades of experience helping thousands of retailers succeed. Today, he’s sharing the exact formula for not just surviving but THRIVING (and growing your business strength!) when customers seem scarce. 

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

🌟 The four P’s mindset framework that will change how you respond to business challenges

🌟 Why focusing obsessively on sales numbers can sabotage your emotional well-being (and what to keep an eye on instead)

🌟 How to make the most of every customer interaction when traffic is down

🌟 The “Piña Colada Principle” for creating irresistible reasons for customers to visit your store

🌟 Why responding to stress with action always beats sitting in worry

🌟 How to approach vendor relationships during challenging times to create win-win partnerships

🌟 The key difference maker between retailers who will grow stronger through challenges versus those who won’t make it

Whether you’re worrying about tariff impacts, changing consumer behaviors, or anything that feels a little rocky at the moment, this episode delivers a mindset reset and practical action steps to help your pet business weather any storm.
