📘 Why You Should Read This Free Book

🇿🇦 Because South African Retail Is Brutal

Margins are tight. Competition is aggressive. Customers know their rights. One shelf pricing error can cost you thousands in refunds, voids, lost trust, and viral social media backlash. This book speaks directly to the South African franchise environment — not theory, not overseas case studies — real local reality.

💸 Because Small Pricing Errors Become Big Money Losses

Inside this manual, you’ll see how:

• A simple promotional mistake cost a store R47,000.
• A R49 dispute triggered a R100,000 social media crisis.
• Repeated pricing failures led to franchise termination.

These aren’t scare tactics. They’re documented case studies from real stores.
