James H. Hallman Founder THE HALLMAN COMPANY
James Hallman’s retail career began in the mid 1950’s when he “guarded” the Coca Cola machine and the candy jars in his grandfather’s country general store.
He went on to a career that has spanned numerous types of retailing, from mass merchants to better specialty stores catering to customers in the upper 5% of income in the U.S. Initially working for various regional chain stores headquartered in the Southeast and Midwestern U.S., he has been a salesperson, store manager, regional operations manager, buyer, and general merchandise manager. As an entrepreneur, he has owned and operated his own stores, a multi-unit kiosk operation, a marketing company, an online information publishing and sales business, and has brokered business sales and packaged small business loan applications. In 1989, he began consulting with owners of specialty stores, both single and multi-unit operations as a retail merchandising analyst with a national retail consulting company. His entrepreneurial instincts soon motivated him to leave and seek more independence, as well as a better way to serve his clients. Today, through The Hallman Company, he provides inventory planning, sales forecasting with pre-calculated open to buy, retail sales training processes, and consultation on various business methodology that may affect profitable growth possibilities. The Hallman Company is currently serving retail clients in industries including mens and womens fashion, shoes, jewelry, sporting goods, and gifts. Clients are based throughout the United States and meet with him monthly in person or by phone and the internet.
In 1998, The Hallman Company became affiliated with a national network of independent consulting firms operating under the brand of Management One®. The Management One directors research, develop, and provide quality control of proprietary products and management processes available to members’ clients. The network currently provides inventory planning and forecasting services, through it’s affiliates, for over 700 retail stores in the United States, England, Ireland, and Central America. The affiliated consultants, including The Hallman Company, have produced and delivered retail management seminars, clinics, and workshops for various civic, trade markets, and associations throughout the country.
In April 2010, Mr. Hallman was ceremoniously inducted by Management One® into the Founders Club. The Founders serve as an advisory board to the Management One® directors.
