THE STARBUCKS STORY"I have come to realize that foundational principles work regardless of what you’re doing. I work at a coffee shop and my boss told me "Hey, we really need to sell more coffee beans." So I started employing the creative use of the action steps and methods taught to me by Clay Clark. Our store shot up to the spot of #1 in whole bean sales out of 613 stores in our entire region. Not only that, but we are averaging 5 pounds sold out of every 1 hundred customers that come into the store where as the average store in the U.S. is averaging 1 to 1.5 pounds per every hundred customers that come in. These numbers don't lie and they just point to the fact that proper training by someone who knows what they are doing and that has a track record to prove it, can make you succeed in whatever business realm you find yourself in, even the coffee shop business.”- Scott T.
