This idea started at a golf course.

Me and my Chief Operating Officer, Brandon, were playing a round at Bayonne Golf Club here in New Jersey. Afterward, over lunch, we got into a conversation we’ve had many times before:

How do we drive more sales... without asking our staff to be pushy?

Because the truth is —
Our staff wants customers to have a great time.
They don't love being salespeople.
And honestly? I get it. I don't want our bars feeling like a bad timeshare presentation either.


Real results. Real dollars.

This isn't theory.
It's the kind of $5 idea that brought in thousands of dollars at each of our bars.

If you’re serious about finding small moves that drive massive returns —
you’re in the right place.

The full story continues below. (Paywall coming up or put your email in for this post to be free!)
