Boy, the retail world is much more difficult and complicated than you would imagine working with. I realize now that I need to research how the retail world works so that I can negotiate better terms for myself.
Communication is definitely key, but more importantly is that information moves down to the ones responsible. In The Walgreens family, that has proved to be very tricky indeed. It is interesting that the store employees are limited in what they can receive on the computer. They cannot go to any website so reviewing my information online is not an option. Furthermore, I do not get good response to email.
Who in the misdt of a busy season has time to call 80 stores and talk to the managers about the program? I sure don't and on a tight budget hiring someone did not look like a good idea. Now, however, I can see the benefits of having someone full-time to do the tasks I don't have time to do because it is my life blood.
We should have first week's results soon and that will help us tweak the remaining weeks.
For now it is off to managing the homecoming process. . . Oh what Fun!
