The best of the best for grooming.
I visited the office of this author today and asked if I could write a review, and they put me online here so here I am. At first I thought this book was the biography of the author. It's not. It's her system she used to go from a tiny salon to a major pet salon. No matter how small or large a grooming shop you want, you can do it. I was so impressed look at me, I came to visit the author and what a warm welcome I was given. I bet her 5,000 pet owner clients loved her as much as me. This is a classic and many books on how to for any type of service business could take a lesson from the format of this book. If you are going to own a grooming small or large there are so many gems of info in this book. I am so impressed and feel so great about my future as a grooming business owner.

Crossing Your T's and Dotting Your I's Leads to Profits
Want a good model for starting and running a good business, then look no further. The author has done a superb job of laying out the daily activities that will lead to a successful Pet Grooming Business --- or just about any other type of service business I can think of.Here you will learn the tactics and follow-up needed to woo and keep customers for life. If ANY service business treated me, as a customer, like Madeline Bright Ogle does to hers, I too would become a raving fan. As customers all we ask for is a little respect, and yet so many businesses treat us like we are interrupting their day.
The title says it all -- From Problems to Profits, is all about taking those ever-present problems that every business encounters on a daily basis, and converting them to profitable actions. For every challenge, there is an opportunity and the best businesses know how to create profitable opportunities out of challenges.
You receive the nitty gritty on everything daily --- including the who, what, where, when and why of employees. Review her table of contents to see how detailed her advice is, then imagine how valuable this advice would be within your business, no matter what that may be.
Want to become a success? Read this book, follow her advice and smile all the way to the bank. I look at the Amazon rating system as a grade for the author. If 5 stars equals an A, then I would give 'From Problems to Profits' and A+.

I love this book.
We couldn't find a book telling us how to run a pet grooming business until we came across this one, and we are so glad to own a copy. There are several how-to groom books but in our opinion this is the one to learn how to manage a grooming shop. Our only little bit of let down is you can use the book for a mobile grooming van business, but I wish it had even more about mobile. But, can't complain because there are NO books on mobile grooming anyway. Get this book if you want to run a professional grooming business. It's worked great for us in Nevada.
