Methods of Prosperity 50 TL;DR Sam Walton’s franchiser, Butler Brothers, rejected him. This pain fueled determination to create his own discount retail chain. Sam had no sophisticated systems, processes, or organization. He focused on offering merchandise at the lowest possible prices. Selling a product for next to nothing is a counterintuitive way to make a profit. That tactic only works under the following circumstances. Your product attracts attention and customers buy additional products. Walmart had an unsophisticated buying program and limited back office support. Walmart’s team excelled at promoting products, and developed effective merchandising programs. Sam learned from competitors like Kmart. He incorporated successful strategies into Walmart’s operations. Walmart experienced rapid growth from 1958 to 1970. There remained a need for better inventory and sales tracking. That would support further growth and maintain low expenses.
