Product Description
Since first published in 1989, and then again in a revised and updated 1997 edition, From Problems to Profits - The Madson Management System for Pet Grooming Businesses (1997) continues to be the world's best selling grooming business book. It's not a how-to book for the art of grooming, but instead, the most complete how-to book for starting and managing a new grooming business or expanding an existing one. Every managerial topic in grooming is covered from personnel, client relations, safety and supervision, marketing and advertising, bookkeeping, financial planning. Better yet over 100 illustrations provide you with dozens of business form layouts for your personal use. From Problems to Profits is more than a story about the author, Madeline B. Ogle, PhD. Instead she offers you the knowledge and tools she used to build one of the largest and most respected grooming businesses in the world. Now anyone can establish a more stable, profitable grooming business and! grow it as large as they desire, from a stable, busy year round one person business to a major pet care center. The definitive grooming business book that you will use for as long as you own your business. In fact, The Madson Management System has been proven to build the net worth of grooming businesses, and thereby allowing their owners more comfortable retirements when they sell their businesses. The art of grooming is important to every grooming business, but it is grooming management that creates stable, profitable grooming businesses that operate with far fewer problems. Managing a grooming business doesn't have to be stressful, but instead one of the joys of your life forever.

The single most comprehensive and informative factual guide for pet grooming business management, and tuning into effective business growth. No other books even exist that address so completely how to adapt your grooming business in any market and make that business grow to its fullest potential. This book is a MUST have for those groomers who aren't business minded, and for those who are as well, as there are so many strategic and yet simplified ideas in this book.

This book is a great reference for a dog grooming business. It discusses how and when to hire, how to run your business efficiently, how to run the salon as a business so you can make money. I keep on going back to this book for information as my business grows. A must have for every dog grooming shop owner.

This book was purchased for me to help set up a business plan for self-serve dog wash with employees. I was not impressed with some of the ideas that were mentioned in the book regarding the design and style of cards to send to the customers to encourage continued business. Overall, this book was helpful and it sparked my own ideas.
