Rep Power: 20 | Re: Texas Newbie - which beds to buy??? I have never sold vacuums, however before I got involved in the tanning industry I was in the clothing retail business. I used to be with a company some of you might remember called Merry Go Round. We opened boutiques all over the US. I was a regional manager and developed new stores. So I guess you could say that I have been opening businesses all of my working career. My ex-wife got me involved in the tanning industry because she was a body builder and I designed a booth and had it built by a van conversion company and profit-shared it at the gym where she trained. That was 27 years ago. I thought that you might be interested in my back ground so I included my history in this industry here. ·Owned and operated 14 tanning salons in Dallas, Texas ·Owned and operated one of the largest tanning equipment and supplies distributing company in the US (Southern Exposure) ·Distributed 10 different lines of tanning equipment ·Developed and marketed a private line of lamps and lotions ·Founder and President of Texas Tanning Association, later to become the National Tanning Association ·Introduced automatic debit to the tanning industry through the NTA, later to become Electronic Funds Transfer ·Creator and Author of Tanning For Profit, Tanning For Profit the PowerTan Edition, Tanning Today, Value Plus and Toning & Tanning Today the four most successful marketing programs in the industry ·Featured speaker, teaching Tanning For Profit seminars at tanning trade shows and for large chains of tanning salons ·National Sales Manager for puretan International Inc. a tanning equipment manufacturing company for 12 years ·Owner of SMU Consulting and Equipment Sales |
