The PMC Consultant
In conducting your sale, PMC places consultants in your store that works closely with the staff and conducts the sale on a week-to-week basis.

Each day the sales are traced, entered into a computer so you can see daily whether we are above or below the goal.

The Performance Management Consultants’ Approach
No single method is right for every store, so we customize the program for every store. Some want a promotion on a commission basis, some on a guarantee basis, and some prefer to receive a check and hand someone the keys. In every case we provide a written projection and plan, which forms the basis of our agreement. Prior to engaging in the sale, the owner can consult with his accountant, attorney, family and other trusted advisors.
