The Retail Industry Professionals Group on LinkedIn allows for a powerful networking opportunity for people involved in the retail industry. Membership to the group allows for participation in the discussion forums where a broad range of topics relating to one’s business can be discussed, whether it be financing or marketing.

Wendy Klos is the creator and manager of the Retail Professionals LinkedIn group. With experience in accounting and finance for very large and famous companies, she has hundreds of connections to other professionals in the industry. The group also includes highly experienced individuals such as Jon Nedland whose expertise is in Marketing and Business Strategy, and Patrick Kimbley who is a Senior Consultant with major experience in various aspects of sales, both on and offline.

If you are someone who is in need of a broad network of professionals in the retail industry, Retail Industry Professionals LinkedIn is one place to start. If you can join that group, you will be a part of an exclusive group of very successful, business savvy individuals who are backed by years of experience in the retail industry and who know what it takes to make that business grow along with the changing nature of commerce. Not only will you get to network with those who are still succeeding through catalog sales, but you can also learn from those who have gone fully online and have made most of their sales through the Internet.
