Top 3 questions and concerns retailers have during a private consultation with me:
1. Should I try to sell my business instead?
A: One common theme I’ve seen in over two decades of helping retailers through the store closing process is it can be painful and time consuming to try to sell your store as an ongoing business.
Why?
For starters, finding someone interested AND qualified is challenging at best. I’ve seen it way too many times where retailers “think” they have a qualified buyer that falls through after wasting several months or more.
Sometimes I’ve seen retailers go through this for years before finally coming back to me.
Secondly, even if you were to find a perfectly qualified buyer it’s entirely possible (and very feasible if I’m facilitating your sale) to make even more profit from a store closing sale than from selling your store as an ongoing business.
2. Why should I choose Retail Sales PRO?
A: I try to answer this in the most humble way possible, but the short answer is I’m simply the best. I know one fundamental truth: you get one shot at having a successful sale, and it’s critical you make it count.
I’ve been doing this a long time, I know all about the companies (and individuals) out there that provide a similar type service, and I know precisely how they operate.
I won’t throw them under the proverbial “bus”, but there’s a reason why I’m the only one that openly tells retailers during my private consultation…
“Please call every single one of my competitors, talk to them and ask them detailed questions about how they will be implementing high level digital marketing strategies, direct mail, press, social media and all the other components that make a sale successful!”
Why in the heck would I do this??
Because I know what they do and don’t do, and I know where their talent level starts and stops. I also know that if you ask them the right questions (which I provide) you’ll quickly learn they will not make your one shot count.
My services cost more, but you get more. And simply…you deserve the best.
3. I’m not sure I have enough inventory for your services?
A: All you have to do is take a look through my Testimonial videos on this site and you will quickly see retailers of all types, all sizes, from all areas big and small, all with very unique stories and circumstances…
I can help you. I have helped retailers with single locations and inventories as small as $25,000 cost as well as retailers with many locations and inventories as large as $12,000,000 cost.
The only thing you need to do is simply want the very best help to ensure you are getting the very best results.

Praise from some of my previous clients who closed their stores very successfully!!!
“From the moment I hired him -I can tell you- he has done everything, and even more, than what he told me he would be able to do.
I would absolutely hire Retail Sales PRO again!”

Is your business going under? It’s time to Stop it Bleeding.
- Taking a struggling store through “just one more season” can put you in a much worse position than acting as soon as you know that it’s time to stop and move on.
- With the independent retail market climate becoming more and more challenging – it means more debts piling up for you every day.
If you’re considering getting out of retail, then a properly facilitated and conducted store closing sale can actually be MORE PROFITABLE (and faster) than trying to sell your store as an ongoing business
…but TIMING IS CRITICAL.
Retail Sales PRO started with a simple mission:
To help independent retailers of all sizes convert inventory and assets to fast cash and be able to walk away with their heads held high.
- Get Highest Returns from a Going Out of Business/Retirement Sale. (At least that’s been my track record over almost two decades).
- 6 Weeks or Less to run.
- Generated over $50,000,000 in Store Closing Sales.

Mary Ann had a very large western wear clothing store, and with rapidly declining sales and mounting debt her biggest concerns were,
- “How are we going to sell all this stuff?”, “What to tell employees?”, “What emails to write?” and more. (See video)
- She and her entire staff and advisors cooperated fully with all my advice and tips.
- The business sale completed successfully, and they were able to move on gracefully to the next chapter of their lives with pride.
A Recent Very Successful Sale...(See video)
I was first contacted by Stacy via my free consultation option on the Retail Sales PRO website.
She provided me all the information I needed to fully evaluate her situation and how I could help.
Being a 3rd generation business her family had 5 remaining stores along the east coast of Florida.
eCommerce had taken its toll over the years, so they knew it was time to close down permanently.
She also shared with me that they originally had 6 retail stores, and they tried to run a store closing sale for one of them on their own.
The sale failed miserably, so that’s when they started looking for a competent expert to help them.
That’s when they found Retail Sales PRO through a Google search.
They not only hoped to turn a profit, but also close their stores gracefully.
Having cemented their status in each respective community over the course of 47 years it was VERY important to her that her store NOT be turned into a circus.
Their well maintained reputation stayed intact not only during the winding up sale, but after it was over.
After several phone calls discussing hers and her family’s concerns we all decided it was a good fit, and I got to work.
Even during the pandemic the sale that took place at each respective store was a smashing success, their financial goals were exceeded, and most importantly they were able to walk away with pride.
A message from Founder, Travis Walker
The retail apocalypse is causing a MASSIVE dip in sales for retail stores across the US and I see some harrowing statistics. (See video)
- More and more store owners are getting negatively impacted by Amazon and the big box stores.
- Conducting profitable going out of business sale on your own would likely prove to be a costly mistake because a store close out in the best possible way is like running a second business.
- Not deciding the best time and implementing the wrong marketing processes could prove to be costly and without a store liquidation specialist you could even ruin your reputation.
You get ONE SHOT at an effective retail store closing sale. ONE.
Make that shot count with the help and support of Retail Sales PRO, the #1 most respected retail store closing consultant and advisor who truly cares about your unique circumstances.
Terry is a prime example of following instructions to the letter. (See video)
When we scheduled his private consultation, I informed him what I could do and how I’d go about doing it, how it works, how long will it run etc.
I then instructed him to call ALL of my competitors, before opting for our support for the closing sale, which he did.
He came back shortly later and informed me that the cost of my services were more than all of them.
This was one of my Most Successful Retirement Sale ever!
(All Communications are 100% Confidential)
Chris had 4 successful sewing and vacuum stores, but found himself in a situation where he grew too fast, got overwhelmed, then got into debt. (See video)
- He realized that he needed to do something, so when he found Retail Sales PRO the going out of business liquidators on YouTube, he signed up for a consultation call with me.
- We got a contract in place quickly, and I got started on planning the business shutdown sale.
- Neither of us knew what was lurking right around the corner before his first sale started: The pandemic!
- As it all started to unfold, we spoke on the phone and revised the plan accordingly to forge ahead, but with subtle changes to accommodate for CDC guidelines, sanitization, and social distancing.
His close out sale didn’t skip a beat!
We generated more than 65% of his annual sales volume over the course of several weeks, all at nominal discounts!
Retail Sales PRO has been providing store closing and liquidation services for over 20+ years now.
Our closing down and inventory liquidation techniques are endorsed by celebrated retail legends, so you have the comfort of knowing you’re working with the best company for your out of business sale.
You’ll be able to very systematically close business and move out gracefully.
John had 3 big retail stores and two enormous warehouses full of merchandise and store fixtures, and after being in business successfully for 20 years he decided it was time to retire. (See video)
So he began looking for the best solution for his planned exit and found Retail Sales PRO’s retail liquidation services through online search.
He requested a free private consultation to work out an exit strategy, and when we first spoke he was skeptical to say the least.
- After looking at his situation and providing him with a custom business closing plan and projections of what to expect he said, “I think you’re crazy!”.
- But he had attempted a liquidation sale on his own at his 4th store a couple years before and it failed miserably, so he knew he needed the right help.
- He followed my system and things to do to the letter, and when the shut down sale was over not only was his entire inventory liquidated to the bare walls, but his returns were almost 3 times what he normally did in sales.
After watching the case study videos you must have gained very valuable insights as to why the sharpest independent retailers choose Retail Sales PRO services – the most promising liquidation experts to conduct their closing.
“I do not think that we could have executed a sale as successfully as we did with Travis at Retail Sales PRO. I would HIGHLY recommend if you’re closing your store!”
Doug T.
Former Owner,
Farm Supply Store
“When I made the difficult decision to close my business I realized I didn’t know what I didn’t know. Travis warned me our sales would be big. Wow, he didn’t lie! I couldn’t be happier with the choice I made going with Retail Sales PRO.”
John F.
Former Owner,
Variety Stores (4)
“Travis has delivered everything that he said he would do over and beyond what was expected. We exceeded expectations, and the end result was incredible!”
Allen F.
Former Owner,
Furniture, Gifts & Home Store
This is a collection of several past clients from multiple retail categories, who researched other store liquidation companies and top firms before finally coming to me. (See video)
The ONE common denominator in their success:
They followed my advice and suggestions – start to finish and walked away from their respective stores with PROFIT!

- Is quitting business the only option?
- What does running a liquidation sale actually mean?
- How will you know when to mark things down and for how much?
- What way will you hold on to employees through the sale?
- How will you sell fixtures?
- What existing customers are going to think?
- What if you end up with a ton of left over merchandise?
So you see the drill?

Mark came to me with many fears including, “Is my store big enough?”, “What if this doesn’t work?”.
- “Will I be able to pay off my vendors?”, “How long does it take?”, “What to do with inventory?”,
- “What will be the costs, charges?”, and more. (See video)
Although he had a very small sporting goods store in a dying shopping mall, I was able to help liquidate everything to the bare walls, including equipment and fixtures.
He followed all of my liquidation advice to the letter, let the system work FOR him and successfully closed his shop.
A perfect example of small scale liquidation and a robust inventory sell off strategy.
- After he booked a free consultation with me and we talked, I knew that this would be a successful sale.
- Why? Because he ran a great business for 40 years and he didn’t want to take any chances with his reputation in the community.
His biggest fear was, will he be able to reach enough people to pick up his specialized inventory?
- From the moment we started working together he implemented everything I instructed him even when I was not onsite.
- After the full stock selling business sale was over all he had left was a tiny box of merchandise he donated to a local art school.
Allan, the owner of a large furniture, home, & gifts store, contacted me after seeing one of my videos on YouTube. (See video)
Like many retailers, he started with the best of intentions for profit and long term sustainability, but after several years found himself with rapidly declining sales amongst big box competition and needed help with his business going under.
After a private consultation with me he proceeded to do even more diligence to be confident in his decision to work with me, and we started preparing for the close out sale.
I helped him launch the sale for the store with tremendous success and the success sustained itself for 11 weeks when he finally closed his doors forever.
He followed EVERY DETAIL of what I told him needed to be done to sustain success after the launch, and with regular tips he was able to walk away with his head held very high and with best gains.
When I created Retail Sales PRO the mission was simple: to help ALL independent retailers convert inventory and assets to cash, to walk away with their heads held high OR to re-energize their business in some way. (See video)
Here my client Marie owned a very small (and popular) herb business and organic food store, and she decided to close after many years of serving her local community.
All because she wanted to spend more time with her grand kids.
She requested a private consultation with me, we talked and reviewed the game plan I would use, and several weeks later her sale began.
I guided her every step of the way. See for yourself how she felt about the sale and the results.
