Choose the right perspective
Match the person's business to yours, since a public furniture retailer, a contract or office furniture maker and a regional store chain face different margin and financing pressures. Also check whether the person is in the CFO seat now or held it in the past, and how long they stayed, because that shapes the era of experience they can speak to.
Questions to take into the conversation
- 01How do you protect gross margin when wood, foam, steel and freight costs change during the year?
- 02What inventory and production reporting do you rely on to balance stock levels against customer lead times?
- 03How do you decide between investing in new plant capacity, showrooms or e-commerce?
