BURTON SHOES, FINE LADIES FOOT WARE & ACCESSORIES: WOODFIELD MALL
SCHAUMBURG IL. & HARLEM AND IRVING 6 CORNERS
Hired at 13 yrs of age by Barry Goldstein, I spent the first 5 years of my business life in Retail &
Retail Management. To look older, I wore high Platform Shoes and Ties wider then my body
(style then). It was not uncommon for me as a part timer to out sell the full time salesperson(s). I
learned more here in One year than I did in all of my years in private and public schools
combined. Mr. Goldstein called me his "secret weapon". This is the job I first learned visual
merchandising. Burton Shoes always had large walk in windows. So large it took a week to break
One down, clean, prepare and then assemble the new window displays. Accessory sales of
purses, nylons, polish, silicon etc. where not just encouraged they were mandatory. A 10% avg to
shoe sales was the minimum, I averaged over 20% each and every week. This made dollars and
cents to me because shoes paid 2%, accessories paid 15%.
WOOLWORTH CORPORATION, 233 BROADWAY NY NY - KINNEY SHOE COMPANY
KINNEY SCHOOL OF RETAIL MANAGEMENT - FOOT LOCKER - FREDELLE (HI END
LADIES BRANDED) - RICHMAN BROTHERS FINE MENS CLOTHING AND FOOT WARE
Nearly the next 20 years of my life were spent here. My accomplishments in awards, trips, cash,
and more did not compare with the business education I received both formally and informally
from day to day experience. Formally the Four Phased Retail Management Program was Second
to none in the retail world. This program took by design 2 years to complete and was tied to the
employee/trainee compensation. I was fortunate to have been trained so well by the Goldstein's
at Burton Shoes I was promoted to Assistant Manager during my first month of work. I earned
Asst. Manager of the year of the entire central division. This was speciality was 6 figure gains,
with the lowest wages, highest up front/accessory % in the entire chain. I had the blessings of
taking stores in the $300k annual range and taking them to 7 figures in One or just under Two
Years. I led more stores by example. I recruited, hired and trained some of the finest new
management. personnel of the day. I also promoted quality people to New York as asst. Buyers
and Merchandisers… (this was like a president getting to pick his own supreme court with no
opposition) 8 Manager of the Year Titles, Asst. Mgr. of the year and a corp.sales gain record that
stands today. This gain was so large and sustainable I did not believe it myself. I had the "midas
touch". Randy Snyder the Vice President of the chain tells the story some 25 years late in his
recommendation letter.
KRAUSE'S SOFA FACTORY - SCOTTSDALE AZ, PHOENIX AZ, FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA,
70 Showrooms plus or minus and one factory in Orange County California where the result of
2. Dale Krause and his vision. The Krause's Sofa Factory vision was simple in concept difficult to
deliver and he died trying too. Custom built sofa's in any one of 2500 fabrics delivered to you in
30 days or less. Not just any sofa. A Krause's Sofa, with inner spring cushions, sprung fronts,
solid frames and a lifetime guarantee that no one in the industry dare try to equal. Krause's did all
this for 10 to 20% more than the average showroom sofa warehouse type sellers such as Levitz
or Homemakers. I was hired after I made my first sale before I had my first interview in Paradise
Valley AZ. The showroom was busy, there was a line 5 deep of salespersons dressed for Sunday
Meeting or a funeral. One look at the sales floor and a simple Hi, folks welcome to Krause's....
and I was on my way to more money than I ever earned at a "Job" in my life.
100% Commission, no draw, no benefits to speak of - You closed or you went hungry. I was
promoted to Management during my first Month. I was truly blessed to lead 3 Showrooms to 7
figure sales gains. After resigning I was offered a unique opportunity to work as a independent
contractor directly for Vice President, Mr. Doug Vunder. On weekends of his choosing he would
send me into a store as “Heavy Hitter” the best of Salespersons. My task was to shake up the
store and report back. On every occasion I was fortunate to produce
large sales increases. These weekends lead to amazing attitude and moral changes. The weak
and paranoid quite, sometimes on the spot. The hard working, the most productive people dug
in, worked harder, smarter and the simply took advantage of some new ideas and increased
energy and just got better (and made more money).

CALIFORNIA: SIEMENS a $350 billion dollar, publicly traded SIEMENS, 450,000 employees
strong, the second largest employer in the world. Some of the world's most talented people work
for SIEMENS. Headquartered in Germany, the Corporation holds the highest expectations,
standards, and best practices. In our division all sales compensation is based on “performed
margin.”When you sold a project, it was your project beginning to end. – This improved booked
margins and combined with solid project management during the project dramatically increased
branch profits by over 30% in Two short years. I was honored to have set numerous mile stones
during my 5 years with SIEMENS. My team lead the company in synergy sales. A complicated
and potentially dangerous sales process. I booked the largest single booked sale in Branch and
Division history, John Wayne Airport. My team was instrumental in winning the National Bank Of
America account. We closed the BofA LA Data Center on Temple. A critical “100% Up Time” High
Rise dedicated production. So secure, so solid the Federal Government Leases a Floor for the
IRS here. (Black Ops) Our performance in replacing Honeywell, a 20 year incumbent, was Global
corporate news.
