Paragon President, Joe Zuccarello, is scheduled to share his expertise – from perfect pricing to schedule management – during education sessions at North America’s leading pet retail trade show, SuperZoo 2024, August 13 -16 in Las Vegas.
Produced by the World Pet Association (WPA), the trade show historically attracts more than 16,000 pet professionals from 25 countries and features education, new product introductions, a grooming competition and networking events. More than 1,000 exhibitors from every pet product category participate and more than 900 products typically make their debut at the show.
As a perennial presence, Paragon brings education topics designed to help pet grooming businesses, independent and multi-store pet retail companies, and pet boarding and daycare operators discover best practices for a productive and successful pet business.
“It’s very energizing to meet with fellow pet care professionals and share our expertise to help take the headache out of grooming operations,” Joe said. He designs topics to reflect solutions to the pain points the company hears from grooming businesses of all types and sizes. As a pet business coach prior to Paragon presidency, he knows how small changes can net big effects in profitability.
Paragon’s 2024 SuperZoo Education lineup includes the following topics:
Retail Education – 4 Steps to Becoming a Competitive Employer – Aug. 13 – 8 a.m. – 9 a.m.
During this session Joe shares some techniques that business owners and managers can use to become a more competitive employer and reduce the time to qualify and hire quality candidates.
Grooming Schedule Management – Aug. 14 – 11 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Joe explores the best way to maximize your grooming services production without underutilizing the skills of your grooming staff or overworking them toward burnout or injury. Joe demonstrates techniques for building a scheduling management approach that is customer-centric and balances staff performance.
Perfect Pricing for Grooming Services – Aug 14 – 2:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Joe unpacks how to know if you are pricing your services correctly. Are you leaving money on the table? Do you struggle with raising prices? During this session, Joe will help business owners and managers understand how to set, raise, and correct pricing for grooming services to maximize financial rewards.
Paragon Groomer Education & Training will also be exhibiting in Booth #1739 and will welcome visits from pet businesses who want to leverage the company’s industry-leading training platform powered by Melissa Verplank’s curriculum to produce highly skilled grooming professionals.
“We are thrilled to share ways pet retail businesses can increase their foot traffic and basket value through the development of grooming services, and to show the latest tools for training professional groomers,” said Annalisa Signorelli, Director of New Business Development.
