In the book Great by Choice, Jim Collins posits that processes are key to an organization's success. As an example, he cites John Wooden, the NCAA championship-winning UCLA basketball coach, who trained athletes on processes that included everything from shooting to tying one’s shoelaces. In practicing, a player may perfect their shoelace tying and do thousands of repetitive free-throw shots. When we watch a game from the nosebleed seats like me (...what can I say, I’m ...

Brands and retailers have been using the new Bridge Wholesale service for six months. The service helps businesses reduce errors and save time. Retailers shared these comments below about the service:
I am sending the Ivystone sales rep Laura Zanone two $200 checks. Bridge gives sales reps a finder's fee when they sign up a retailer for a Bridge Store. The rep promotes Bridge Store because it helps the store sell more--which is good for the store and the rep.
Laura helped her stores save thousands of dollars and weeks of time. In total, she saved her stores over $6,000 and 10 weeks in labor.

Perfectly proportioned and enhanced by flirty curves, it enhances any table, and makes a spectacular gift. Pair it with Beatriz Ball stemware—in glass or acrylic&...

In the example shown, we Google two stores' names in Texas. The two stores both use Bridge Store to power their online business. The Ivy House does not use the universal domain service...

We can not wait for you to come visit both our locations and see the new changes we have made.
Saks Fifth Avenue just launched a new website. Since more than 600 stores rely on Bridge Store to power their websites, I decided to compare the new site, which likely cost millions of dollars, to an indie retailer's Bridge Store software. An indie store pays pennies compared to Saks' millions, so the Saks site must be a million times better, right?
After a careful review, I'm happy to share that our indie stores have the better website. And, it sort of 'saks' for Saks that it spent millions ...
