Navigating the Closeout Deal Maze: Tips to Avoid Common Pitfalls In the realm of bargain hunting, closeout deals hold a unique allure. They promise slashed prices and exclusive opportunities, but navigating this territory can be fraught with pitfalls. Whether you're a seasoned buyer or new to the game, it pays to tread cautiously. Here are some essential tips to help you steer clear of common pitfalls when diving into closeout deals. Research, Research, Research: Before diving in, arm yourself with knowledge. Research the market value of the items you're interested in, familiarize yourself with the seller's reputation, and understand the terms of the deal thoroughly. Inspect the Goods: Closeout deals often come with a caveat: no returns. To avoid unpleasant surprises, inspect the products carefully. Check for damages, defects, or expiration dates if applicable. Consider Quality Over Quantity: Don't let the allure of bulk discounts blind you to the quality of the products. It's better to invest in fewer high-quality items than to be saddled with a surplus of subpar goods. Evaluate Your Storage Space: Closeout deals can tempt you to stock up on more than you need. Before making a purchase, consider whether you have adequate storage space and whether the items have a reasonable shelf life. Be Wary of Hidden Costs: Factor in shipping fees, taxes, and any other hidden costs before sealing the deal. Sometimes what seems like a steal upfront can quickly turn into a financial burden. By exercising due diligence and following these tips, you can navigate the closeout deal landscape with confidence, ensuring that your bargain-hunting endeavors are fruitful and satisfying. https://lnkd.in/eh92HvDn

Today marks 18 years of dedicated service at Wilsons Auctions. When I first walked through the doors as a timid 26-year-old with little confidence and uncertain about my career path, I met Ricky Wilson for my interview (those who have met Ricky know that I mostly listened during our conversation) I didn't interview well and struggled to articulate my thoughts, but I made a promise to work diligently, whether as part of a team or independently, and to never let Wilsons Auctions or Ricky down. Over the years, I have had the privilege of managing or co-managing some of the most significant auctions in Ireland, including Lisheen Mine, Bord na Móna, and Roadbridge Receivership, totaling over 1000 auctions. Reflecting on my journey, when I now interview potential colleagues, I recall my own interview experience. If I had been asked traditional interview questions like "What is your biggest weakness?" back then, the inexperienced 26-year-old me would have hesitated and listed my limitations. However, today, I would confidently say that my biggest weakness is my relentless pursuit of improvement. I constantly strive to make each auction better than the last, I thrive on teamwork, and I lead by example, always being the first one on the field and the last one off. My weakness lies in my unwavering commitment to continuous growth and excellence.

Exciting update! 😍🔥 I currently have 13 contracts in progress, but I had to cancel four contracts for vacant lots I couldn't sell in time. It's all part of the business! I'm thrilled about the opportunities ahead, including properties in Texas, Arizona, Nevada, and North Carolina, each with its own profit potential. In Texas, I have contracts for properties worth $12,000 and $40,000, signed in December. I'm also working on a deal in Arizona, buying a property for $24,000 that's potentially worth between $70,000 to $80,000 once the title issues are resolved. 🤝🤩 There's also a property in Texas for $6,500, a cheap property in Nevada for $1,400 that I plan to sell for at least $5,500, and another in Nevada for $700 that I can turn around and sell for $4,000. 🤑💸💰 Dealing with cancellations is part of the business, and I'm always learning and growing from each experience. 🎉 Have you ever had to cancel a real estate deal?

It's not every day that a lawn care salesman becomes the sales manager of a manufacturing company. Yet, here I am. My journey? Anything but ordinary. I married into the Ramos family, where a strict 'no family in business' policy meant my path to ARK Ramos was anything but direct. I aimed for a business degree, excelled in lawn care sales, and even bought and sold a successful franchise with my wife, Courtney. When fatherhood called, I embraced being a stay-at-home dad, squeezing in contract sales for A.R.K. Ramos on the side. My transition from the lawn to the sales floor wasn't planned. It was driven by necessity, curiosity, and life's unpredictable turns. Now, as Sales Manager, I navigate pricing, catalogs, and strategy, applying lessons from the lawns to the manufacturing world. Here's what I learned: Your path doesn't define your destination. Adaptability, a willingness to learn, and hard work can lead you to roles you never imagined. To those navigating their own unconventional paths: Embrace the detours. They might just lead you to where you're meant to be. #CareerJourney #SalesLeadership #UnconventionalPaths #ARKRamos #ManufacturingExcellence

Employee attrition is a costly nightmare in more ways than one, and worse when you provoke it through your own myopic greed. Your best sales people are your strongest asset in retail. Why not reward performance? Instead, they cut commissions back. I wonder who the genius beancounter was who dreamed that one up? Seems like a greenwood from where I sit. What do I know, I've only been doing this for over 30 years? #TiifanyandCo #retailintelligence #jewelrysales #employeeattrition #retailmanagement
