Leveraging AI Tools to Improve Your Retail Business

Tuesday November 3rd: 3:00 PM-4:00 PM

Location

Grand View at Mill Creek

Speakers

Curtis Fry

Summary

The use of AI is the single-most transformative technology to hit businesses worldwide. Fly fishing retailers and brands who do NOT embrace this will ultimately find themselves on the outside looking in. AI is already here and it's not going away. Yet, many companies are still unaware of how they can realistically leverage AI tools to help run and greatly improve their businesses. In this session, we will discuss several actionable AI strategies fly fishing businesses can implement to cut costs, increase sales and empower employees to do more with less. In this session we will cover: Manage your Inbox: Automate up to 80% of the time you spend reviewing and dispositioning emails Cash Flow Management: Get a daily or weekly snapshot of how much money you owe, how much you have on hand and any other cash-affecting balances automatically regardless of where those numbers live. AI Business Automation: Map your business processes, automate as much as you can, rinse and repeat. We cover many tools you can use today to reduce headaches in your business processes and spend more time focusing on value add. Stop putting out fires full time! Learn how Fly Fish Food doubled down on vendors and SKUs with a new fully-integrated vendor product management system, rebuilt pre-season buying from scratch, and did it with a smaller team. AI automation didn't replace the buyer or the product manager — it replaced the spreadsheet and 'manual' archaeology underneath.
