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) and Tally Mack specifically have been an honor to work with over these past  years since she was brought in by her father to lead the company to the power house that it has become today. It should be noted that Bravo has stepped up and supported and sponsored every event that PCG has produced over the past dozen years or so since their roll out got moving along.

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 for Tally Mack 

Tally Mack is the CEO of Bravo Store Systems, but what should be duly noted and what really sets her apart is that she’s a fifth-generation pawnbroker. Growing up in the industry gives her a real understanding of what life is like at the counter and the behind the scenes activity to operating a store and or multiple stores. While she has a law degree from DePaul and leadership training from Harvard, what she cares about most is building teams and creating useful tools that help pawnbrokers succeed. Because she’s lived and breathed this business her whole life, and loves brining to life products that work in the real world.

 

From Jerry,

 

Having come to know Tally over these years, it has been a pleasure to watch her navigate the strategic growth of Bravo and life balancing of family and more.

As a 2nd generation pawnbroker on my end, with 50+ years in the Industry, it is refreshing to witness that a technology company specifically geared for Pawn also has several multi-generational pawnbrokers at the helm. This includes development of precedurial and technology systems on steroids to put it mildly specifically in the Pawn Space. 

From my experience over the last 35+ years of working with, utilizing, and implementing various Pawn technology systems, with the exception of 1 back in the 80’s, most of the others did not have leadership nor technical people who came directly out of the Pawn industry.

Facing this delimma alone created in my humble opinion a lof of disconnect between end users and techno staffs and more. Too many times I heard the comments, of, “their just pawnbrokers, they don’t understand technology” . In that same vein from my own utilization, to many of our clients globally, lots of disconnect and lack of appreciation of what the end users, (pawnbrokers), owners and operators have had to endure for technology implementation and utilization. 

In the case of Tally, she has successfully navigated the transition as a start up company to now – the largest provider of pawn technology in our space today with over 4000 subscribers in multiple countries. All along, while building and reinforcing their corporate culture, building a highly functional staff, and managing a global client base post 2-significant mergers/acquisitions of 2 other long standing pawn software products, CompuPawn and PawnMaster into their fold.

As an operator, I can tell you these are significant challenges and Bravo has successfully transitioned all of this while building a stable, robust, operating platform and an award winning staff. 

 

Tally’s Presentation(s)

 

When Tally and I were discussing the Symposium, I thought it would be refreshing to hear it from her what they (Bravo) has been through in their history – the challenges of developing the technology, culture, and the teams.

With her leadership skills having her present at the Symposium in an open feedback type of session(s) provides all of us some real perspective on what it took to get there, what it takes to stay there, and perhaps a glimpse into the next generation of technical development that Bravo is into for our attendees.

This also provides opportunity for our attendees through open dialogue to perhaps discuss future desires at our World Class event along with all of our social networking activities that will be going on throughout the event in Atlantis. 

 

Having worked with Tally over numerous events, she is a talented, and a gifted speaker. Her presentation at the Symposium also promises to be a sifnificant look into the management of the platform, the relationships with the industry, and what the future holds for them, and for us. This will be another DO NOT MISS opportunity to hear it from the world’s leading pawn software technology company – Jerry Whitehead

 

 

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)

 

 

We are currently accepting paid participation to guarantee slots on the roster. We have about 85+ participants as of date of this blog on the list currently and paid reservations are coming in now.

 

We have also procured a room-block at this EPIC resort of only $149 a night plus their resort fees.
