What are Pawn Peer Focus Groups?
Pawn Peer Focus Groups™, created by Jerry Whitehead and Pawn Shop Consulting Group, connect pawnbrokers. Together pawn operators learn, observe, and critique each other while sharing best practices. Over the past 13 years, members have become great friends that travel together, work together, and even vacation together.
PCG Peer Focus Groups offer an opportunity to become accountable to your pawn industry peers because peers are accountable to their peers and the level of accountability is unmatched by any other system in the Pawn Industry today.
