    Excellent points.
    Many years ago I became impressed with an advertisement “this goes with this at Sussans”
    I quoted the Advetisement often and still do, as it is what I had called then “selling associated product” Sussans said it all much more succinctly.
    Great video

    The correct Statement was “This goes with this goes with that at Sussans” it was the outfit plus the different accesssories.

    Hi Daniel,

    Good POS software can predict sales based on past performance. Once you lay this over inventory days, the days for which you will have stock based on current stock on hand, you can see possible days without stock, and therefore sales lost.
