Acquire or Develop Talent Tanglewood should acquire talent, because it wants to keep performance and customer service at high levels. In addition, while old stores under Tanglewood have the same basic look, the management styles and human resource can use some improvements.

Instead of saying “introducing a new line of clothing” or “fashion”, it says “movement” to allure to the targeted audience of people who would buy exercise clothing. Even the name of the clothing line, Performance, calls to mind the values of execution and
She and I both take pride in what we do and want to do it right the first time. She wants to provide the best possible experience for the customer and trains her staff in the same manner.
