Your Blueprint for Developing a High-Performance Retail Organization
At the pinnacle of all The Friedman Group training programs is Project Gold Star, the ultimate High-Performance Retailing experience. Created for retail owners and senior managers, Project Gold Star is a formula for developing a service-oriented and sales-driven retail organization.
- Project Gold Star is an exclusive program developed to incorporate all of the top sales, management and operational strategies created during the many years of on-the-floor retail experience Harry J. Friedman and his organization developed while personally working with and coaching some of the most successful names in retail.
- This unique public forum for very small groups of owners and senior managers consists of monthly two-day meetings spread over a four-month period of time. Depending on client needs, this program can also be delivered privately on-site for larger organizations.
- Project Gold Star provides an organizational framework for streamlining store operations, developing your staff and maximizing your store’s performance. In just four months, every retailer learns to implement the full Friedman Group sales and management system, including training programs, performance standards and accountability systems. It is the fastest way for any retailer to take their business to the next level of performance.

Holding Your Staff Accountable for Sales and Customer Satisfaction
Each session will focus on your people. We’ll tear apart the process, benefits and issues that arise from instituting a system for holding people accountable for their sales and service behaviors. This process will breed motivation, enthusiasm and increased job responsibility in your staff. What is the result? You will have a well-trained staff that stays with you and contributes more—and customers who return again and again.
The following represents just a small sampling of the topics covered during Project Gold Star:
- Recruiting and Hiring
- Goals and Statistics
- Standards of Behavior
- Performance Accountability
- Compliance and Discipline
- Training and Coaching
- Motivation and Rewards
- Leadership
You Won’t Go Through It Alone
The key to the program is the one-on-one mentoring and coaching between meetings from our senior consultants, and the opportunity to get answers to any implementation questions at subsequent meetings.
You’ll also enjoy meeting, networking and learning from other like-minded retailers in attendance. Sharing your successes and challenges makes the process more fruitful, as you learn how someone in similar circumstances—but perhaps a different retail industry—solved the very problem you’re dealing with. How often does that opportunity come along?
So What’s Stopping Your Retail Organization?
How many great ideas have dropped by the wayside or not been implemented properly in your company? Many who have attended our management seminars and learned pieces of this information felt they could implement everything on their own, only to discover that information is not the same as implementation. Often in retail, even the best of intentions are pushed aside by the daily interruptions that steal your time and energy. We won’t allow that to happen in this program.
Built into the implementation process is not only accountability at store level, but also at the executive level. This prevents seniors from putting the program on hold when life gets in the way, and going back to the routine of putting out daily fires instead of solving the problems that cause them. Assignments will be given at each meeting to guide you through the implementation process and reviewed at each subsequent meeting, keeping everyone on track.
Instead of getting stuck in the maze of operational issues that slow down so many retailers, Project Gold Star will put your stores on fast-forward and focus you on developing a high-performance retail organization.
