The word of the day is Profitability

 
Profitability, The state or condition of yielding a financial profit or gain. It is often measured by price to earnings ratio.” This definition comes from businessdictionary.com. When you break the word down you have ‘profit’ and ‘ability, your business’s ‘ability’ to make a ‘profit’.
 
What does profitability mean to you? What is should mean is that you are able to conduct your business in such a way that you cover your expenses, cost of goods sold and after you pay yourself you still have money left to reinvest in your business. Sound complicated, confusing, impossible maybe! Maybe you just don’t care. In which case you can stop reading now and go on to doing something else.

Now, if you are still reading you must be interested in finding ways to improve your business’s profitability.

  • What are your costs of goods sold, your general expenses, what are your ratios for cost of goods against sales, or expenses against sales?
  • What should they be?
  • How do you get them to where they should be? Are you paying yourself? Should you be?
  • Are there expense leaks? How do you stop cash from leaking out? 
  • Paying yourself? How much? Are you making a living? 
  • Is your pricing appropriate for your business, your quality, your desired growth? 
  • Who is your client? What are their expectations? Are you priced to attract your target
  • demographic?
  • What goals do you have for your financial future and that of your business? 
  • How do you assure profitability? And the list goes on… 
  Scared, frustrated, confused, lost, all of the above? The good news is there is help for you. We have more than thirty-five years of experience in creating profitable, custom price lists for businesses just like yours. We will begin by addressing many of the questions listed above and then help you create a pricing model which will be appropriate for your business and your future goals.

 And we won’t leave you there. We will consult with you once a quarter for one year after the initial pricing structure is complete to assure what we have created with you is right for you and your business. If necessary we will make modifications along the way to help you reach your financial goals.

Putting money down a rat hole


Have you ever attended a seminar, convention on workshop and heard a great speaker. They filled you with great ideas about how to improve your business, get more customers, and make more money. You leave full of ideas and motivated to change.


Then you get back home and the notebook full of ideas and the marketing package you bought from the speaker gets thrown in ...a drawer and forgotten. Why, because you may not have any idea how to implement the ideas into you business. 


Often it is because the speaker told you of their success but weren’t in a position to help you modify their ideas for your circumstances.

This is where we can help. We have worked with hundreds of small business owners to help them tailor a marketing program which works. We work one-on-one with you to learn about your business and your potential customers. From there we help you modify marketing ideas and strategies to attract your targeted clients.

We want to help you. Before you invest another dime in someone else’s marketing ideas only to toss them aside without putting them to use you need to call us. We will help you decide what marketing will be most beneficial for you and your business, create a plan for implementing the concepts and a process for reviewing how well they worked for you.

This year instead of investing in more ideas which get thrown in the drawer—call us—we will help you put together a plan which will address your business and maximize your success. Rather than buy a canned marketing program we will help you create your own customized plan. And we can do it for about what you would invest in the canned plan—contact us today.

To get started send us an e-mail or call us at 208-595-4234.
