Every year retailers go into Black Friday mode.

As loss prevention consultants , it is important to know what your role is in helping a store or business get the most out of a day like this.
What do you have to offer? Put on your customer service hat, get out and meet the employees.

Shrink, as it is, is the difference between a physical inventory count and what is actually on the books.
Loss prevention consultants assess all aspects of what affects shrink both positively and negatively. Discussing shrink with store employees can make all the difference.
All in all, loss prevention consultants work to benefit the business. Advising the business owner or store management on the causes of loss and creating an action plan to help defend against it should the direction taken.
