The Mack Family & The Pawn Industry

As the owner of the Pawnshop Consulting Group and the producer of the International Pawn Symposium (Jerry Whitehead), I want to acknowledge how Bravo Systems continues to support the Pawn Industry on multiple levels. 

For the record they (BRAVO) have stepped up and supported and sponsored every event that PCG has produced over the past 15 years of their existence.

In the art of these technology services, Bravo has become the global leader in technology systems in the Pawn Space, with more than 4000 subscribers on their platform today!

Bio on Steven Mack (stay tuned for Tally Mack Bio on Next Blog)

Steve Mack is the Chairman of Bravo Store Systems which he started after years of running his family’s pawn business. After growing from 1 to 50 stores across multiple states (Super Pawn), he saw that the industry needed better technology. That’s why he created Bravo, which now provides the leading software for pawn shops. Steve has always had a vision for the future and spends most of his days learning about AI and innovating new products for the pawn industry. His goal has always been simple: give business owners tools that make daily operations easier, help them serve customers better, and help their businesses grow.

From Jerry — as an observer, when I first went to officially visit Steve some 20 years back and witness his PRIMA software system that drove an extreme value enhancement to his Super Pawn business, I was simply amazed. It should be noted that technology along with Steven’s vision for large, high volume, high-end large format stores directly led to that group of stores being acquired at the most significant amount of money ever paid for a mult-store operation at that time from one of the public companies. That transaction was in excess of 120 million back then, and the technology I witnessed 20+ years ago with the product evaluators, auto listing systems for various Ecom sites, automation for inventory control of online sales internally and externally, all the way down to auto label printing for FEDEX on sold items, was truly amazing. I am a techno buff, and what I witnessed back then was amazing. On another note, when Steven launched Bravo, I was one of the first actual demo’s of the platform before their formal launch and even onboarded their first client (outside of family) as I recall. 

Steven’s Presentation(s)

AS Steve and I (Jerry) were catching up a few months ago, I shared with him that his vision of the future of automation and more that he touched on at the Pawn Summit several years back that PCG and Bravo produced was a glimpse into the future. Time has come to pass, and Steven is now well on down the road as to how AI and more automation comes into play on many levels in our lives and businesses. The presentation that Steve will ultimately provide for us, will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness and hear at the International Pawn Symposium. Steve is such a unique visionary, his glimpses into the future will be nothing short of amazing and he will be providing a very unique inter-active presentation at this years International Pawn Symposium. 

A footnote from PCG – Producer of the International Pawn Symposium

Our events are not trade shows nor conventions. They are high level inter-active educational seminars conducted by numerous experts within and outside the Pawn Industry.

These events also center on close interaction of ALL of the participants by keeping them together for all of the functions, seminars, food, and ALL social functions which are a primary component of the event itself.

In effect, High Level education and social networking on steroids.

AS for exclusivity, we keep attendance at a controlled level to insure maximum benefit of time with our educators, presenters, participants, and sponsors. All of which are required from our experience to obtain the best of the best, from the best!!

This event is limited to 100 attendees and is only $1495 per head – which includes all meals, social functions and the seminars being presented at this world class resort. You can reserve your slot today by scanning the QR Code here, once verified, we will send you the reservation link for the Host Property (Atlantis)
