About this listen
As we head into 2026, one thing is clear - the gap between average retailers and top performers is widening — and it has nothing to do with effort.
In this Five Minute Friday, Ashley Alderson breaks down what the top 10% of retailers do differently right now, and why those decisions are positioning them to grow and scale while others feel stuck. Hard work isn't the issue. Strategy is.
Ashley shares the four key differences separating high-performing retailers from those struggling to gain traction — and how you can start applying these shifts immediately as you plan for the year ahead.
You'll learn:
-
How building systems before you need them changes everything
- Why top retailers operate like CEOs — not reactive entrepreneurs
-
What it really means to use AI as a strategic partner (not a shortcut)
-
Why customer retention is outperforming reach and visibility
-
The retailers winning in 2026 aren't guessing. They're operating with clarity, data, and intention — and you can too.
