Escaping The Race To The Bottom Before It's Too Late! - Mike Magnuson & Mark Quinn: Episode 228
Episode 228
Sunday, 15 June, 2025
What happens when price wars are killing everyone's margins? Pete sits down with two industry heavyweights who've seen it all—and lived to tell about it. Michael Magnuson from GoodBed brings the data that'll make you rethink everything about how customers actually shop for mattresses (spoiler: it's not just about price). Mark Quinn from Shifman Mattress has been in the trenches for decades—retail, manufacturing, you name it—and he's got war stories about stores that broke free from the race to the bottom. This isn't some fluffy "add more value" conversation. These guys get into the real tactics that separate profitable retailers from the ones barely hanging on. Quinn's seen what works (and what doesn't) across every part of the business, while Magnuson's got the consumer research that explains why some stores can charge premium prices while others can't give mattresses away. If you're tired of competing on price alone, this episode gives you the roadmap to escape before it's too late. 👤 Connect with Michael Magnuson & Mark Quinn: ✅ LinkedIn (Mike Magnuson):https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelmagnuson ✅ LinkedIn (Mark Quinn): https://www.linkedin.com/in/markquinn03 ✅ GoodBed: https://www.goodbed.com/ ✅ Shifman Mattresses: https://shifmanmattresses.com/ ✅We are proud partners with Mattress Industry Network: https://www.facebook.com/groups/mattressindustrynetwork ✅The Mattress Industry Network's core values are helping others to Build, Market, Sell and Succeed in the Mattress Industry 🎥 Want to create live streams like this?
