"You don't know how much I wish we had found you 20 years ago.  We are self-taught and believe me it was a high-stress struggle.  We could have been double the size we are with all the knowledge and energy we would have gleaned
from WhizBang! Retail Training."

Over 40 Years of Combined On-The-Floor Retail Experience
Over twenty years ago Bob and Susan Negen founded WhizBang! Retail Training to help retailers, store owners and managers get the nuts-and-bolts skills they need to run a successful business. In those twenty+ years they have worked with hundreds of thousands of retailers, developed numerous courses for retail owners, managers and employees, written a best-selling book on retail marketing, and created the world's largest educational conference for independent retailers, the Retail Success Summit.

Bob and Susan’s skills and real-world perspective come from over 40 years of combined on-the-floor retail experience. Bob founded the Mackinaw Kite Co., an award winning chain of kite and toy stores, and ran them for 19 years. Susan started her retail career as an executive at Bloomingdale’s and Macy’s, before she joined Bob at the Mackinaw Kite Co.

Together they have a knockout one-two punch of sophisticated big business skills and street-smart small business experience.
A DEDICATED team of people... here to help you and your store succeed!
Bob always says, “Hire for Attitude, Teach Skills.” We were lucky enough to recruit top-notch attitudes AND skills in each of our team members.
