Book Description
Since first published in 1989, and then again in a revised and updated 1997 edition, From Problems to Profits - The Madson Management System for Pet Grooming Businesses (1997) continues to be the world's best selling grooming business book. It's not a how-to book for the art of grooming, but instead, the most complete how-to book for starting and managing a new grooming business or expanding an existing one. Every managerial topic in grooming is covered from personnel, client relations, safety and supervision, marketing and advertising, bookkeeping, financial planning. Better yet over 100 illustrations provide you with dozens of business form layouts for your personal use. From Problems to Profits is more than a story about the author, Madeline B. Ogle, PhD. Instead she offers you the knowledge and tools she used to build one of the largest and most respected grooming businesses in the world. Now anyone can establish a more stable, profitable grooming business and! grow it as large as they desire, from a stable, busy year round one person business to a major pet care center. The definitive grooming business book that you will use for as long as you own your business. In fact, The Madson Management System has been proven to build the net worth of grooming businesses, and thereby allowing their owners more comfortable retirements when they sell their businesses. The art of grooming is important to every grooming business, but it is grooming management that creates stable, profitable grooming businesses that operate with far fewer problems. Managing a grooming business doesn't have to be stressful, but instead one of the joys of your life forever.

This book was purchased for me to help set up a business plan for self-serve dog wash with employees. I was not impressed with some of the ideas that were mentioned in the book regarding the design and style of cards to send to the customers to encourage continued business. Overall, this book was helpful and it sparked my own ideas.

Not exactly what I was looking for. Thought it would have more of example business plans in it. Good starter book for the Pet grooming.

This is the definitive book on the "business side" of grooming. Why another reviewer here would say to refer to Notes From The Grooming Table doesn't make sense. It's a great book on the "how to groom side" of grooming and is not a book on the business side of grooming at all. From Problems to Profits for the business side of grooming and Notes for the styling side of grooming and you have the best of the best today.
 Useless for House Call or Mobile Grooming July 18, 2004

I was recommended this book by grooming board but I found it totally useless for the mobile groomer or house call groomer. The book called "Notes from the Grooming Table" is a much better investment for the groomer in general.

I visited the office of this author today and asked if I could write a review, and they put me online here so here I am. At first I thought this book was the biography of the author. It's not. It's her system she used to go from a tiny salon to a major pet salon. No matter how small or large a grooming shop you want, you can do it. I was so impressed look at me, I came to visit the author and what a warm welcome I was given. I bet her 5,000 pet owner clients loved her as much as me. This is a classic and many books on how to for any type of service business could take a lesson from the format of this book. If you are going to own a grooming small or large there are so many gems of info in this book. I am so impressed and feel so great about my future as a grooming business owner.
