Continuing Education

The Retail Owners Institute™ offers unique online training in basic retail finance. It's a fun(!), user-friendly, comprehensive retail finance seminar specifically designed for busy professionals. It takes the "mystery" out of retail accounting. Your field people can gain new confidence and start addressing customer objections like, "We don't have any Open-to-Buy."

Your key account management and field people learn at their own pace. All they need is access to the web. They will learn all the basics of retail finances, plus take tests after most of the sections. And you'll know how they did! Their quiz scores are reported directly to "headquarters."

  • Choose the number of people to include – 10, 50, 100 or more - and obtain access codes from The ROI.
  • Each participant receives 30 days of 24/7 access to The ROI's online Continuing Education Programs.
  • Password protected for your company and your personnel.
  • You receive Continuing Education final grades for each of your participants.

The ROI's Basic Retail Finance Couse is a self-paced, step-by-step guide to understanding why and how a retail business needs Open-to-Buy plans, Balance Sheets, Income Statements, Cash Flow plans, Inventory projections, and key ratios, as well as how to generate, interpret and use them. It incorporates a lively case study, worksheets, a financial glossary, and supplemental how-to articles. Your staff can work through each section at their own pace, then take the 14 online quizzes to verify and reinforce their understanding.
