As you know, we love the pawn industry. A few weeks ago, we presented and exhibited at the NPA Convention in Las Vegas I heard something very disturbing. I must have heard at least 200 owners talk about how they are not making money the way they used to in this industry. What is more disturbing is at least half of those, when asked why not, immediately responded” because gold is down from $1,856 at its highest to $1,230 an oz. now… It amazes me that so many of the people we spoke to had this as their main reason for down profits. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the price of gold is only one of the many challenges you face right now that is causing less profitability in your pawn shops than in years past.
Here at Data Age, there are many of things that we do as a company to stand out when it comes to how we provide for our team and for our customers. I am fortunate enough to not only work closely with our customers on a daily basis but also with all departments including Tech Support, Marketing, Development, Training, and Sales. One thing my colleagues and customers will say about my work ethic is that going the extra mile is something I do with no questions asked and truly believe is a quality that any employee/manager should own.
If you are a shop that deals in Firearms, you know how important it is to keep accurate records of the firearms that come in and out of your shop. This means anything and everything, up to and including the mistakes. The ATF understands that we’re all humans, we make mistakes. Rather than try to make a mistake appear as though it never happened, use the tools at hand to make the changes manually, and keep your records accurate. Let me show you how PawnMaster helps make it easier for you.
