Eric Hinkle
Retail Growth Coach

 

You deserve a Retail Growth Coach who can help you get rich.

Helping rich people get richer doesn't excite me. If your retail revenue was between $300k and $3 million over the past 12 months, I'd rather see you GET rich by helping your 3X your profit.
 
It's not all about the money. We don't need to be billionaires. But 7-figures will change your life! 
 
I've been where you are. I had those sleepless nights, wondering how I was going to make payroll while I bootstrapped my 1st retail startup to $5.5 million in less than 5 years. I've also owned and grown a few other businesses, but enough about me. If you're curious, you can read more.
 
I look forward to helping you get rich!

He gave me the holy grail of how to solve my problems by asking the "productive questions." I could have never had this much confidence and business acumen without talking to someone who has the knowledge and experiences as Eric.

I take your trust in me very seriously. My goal is to TRIPLE (3X) your gross profit, but at the very least, you have my personal promise...

If you show up, do your "homework" between calls, and don't believe it was worth every penny, I wouldn't feel right about keeping your money. 

I'll give you back 100% of your investment. No hassles. Guaranteed.

What is an independent retailer?

While your business may be affiliated with a larger brand (e.g. franchise), independent retailers are locally owned and operated.

 

Most are relatively small operations with one or a small number of brick & mortar locations in the market they serve. Today, many also drive a significant share of sales through online channels.

 

Industries include...

  • Specialty retailers like clothing boutiques, pet stores, home improvement and auto parts
  • Spas, salons, dance studios, dentists, chiropractors, and gyms
  • Quick service restaurants (QSR) and fast casual cafes
What's the difference between growing and scaling?

When growing your business, inputs (e.g. employees, locations, equipment) rise at the same rate as your results (e.g. revenue, customers).

Scaling, on the other hand, means increasing your revenue faster than your expenses. We will achieve this by improving your strategy (e.g. effectiveness) and efficiency by implementing better technology, automation, and streamlined processes so you can serve more customers and maximize sales without a proportional increase in expenses.

  • Growth is linear
  • Scaling is exponential
What's the difference between coaching and consulting?

I am here primarily to guide you as a coach, but I tend to get more hands-on than a typical coach so I consider myself to be more of a "consultative coach".

 

Coaches

  • Guide you to solve problems yourself
  • Hold you accountable
  • Don’t implement anything themselves
  • Build longer-term relationships

Consultants

  • Solve specific problems for you
  • Are accountable to you
  • Create and implement things for you
  • Focus on shorter-term projects

Frequently Asked Questions ( FAQs )

 

Why should I hire you?

Most real estate coaches focus on sales training. Many of them are fantastic if that's what you need. I'm here to help you build a business. 

I bring a fresh perspective with experience in multiple industries to help you think outside the typical box (with a garage). 🤣

I also have real estate experience from a different perspective.  I was in the lead generation business during my 8 years with Homes.com. 

I won the President's Club travel award by focusing my sales team on the right prospects, restructuring territories and incentives, and developing better lead generating products. 

Do you only work with team leaders?

Yes. Brokers and agents who lead a team of other agents and support functions. 

While solo agents are "in business" too, my experience and focus is on helping you build a "real" business and lead a team of other people. 

What's included with unlimited* support?

Support is generally limited to topics we covered during our most recent meeting. You will normally get a response to your email the next weekday morning.

Some programs also include Huddles: 15 minute phone calls for a quick Q&A to keep the ball moving in the right direction.

You know you want to build a 7-figure business that works for you. One that gives you the time and money you need to do what you love... at work and in life. Right?

So, what are you waiting for? Let me help you get rich!
