You wouldn’t start a business without a Business Plan. You wouldn’t lead your business without a Strategic Plan. Don’t try to grow your business without a Profit Plan!
As an experienced executive, best-selling author, international speaker, and Accelerator, I’ve heard from thousands of leaders that they’re frustrated. They have big goals for their business but they can’t or won’t take on more debt. They’re working long hours and they instinctively know that often their people over-deliver, and often they leave money lying on the table. Why? They don’t have a proactive Profit Plan beyond their P&L. That means that profits become the leftovers from lower-than-expected revenues and higher-than-expected costs.
Puny profits aren’t pretty. You need to profit - on purpose.
It’s not just leaders and managers with P&L responsibility who need to be involved. It’s everyone in your business who touches a customer or incurs a cost to do business. This includes:
It’s time to plug every leak and pull every profit lever.
Without a proactive Profit Plan, you don’t have a chance. The old thinking of selling more products and services to more customers at higher prices and lower costs is no longer enough.
It feels overwhelming, right? All these demands. So many challenges. Hidden opportunities. And you … with the weight of the world on your shoulders to make it happen.
We all do email automatically every day… sometimes for hours. What would be possible if we all got hooked on taking small steps towards profitability every day?
In the old days, you could take a payment, pay the bills, and see what was left. It wasn’t a great system for profitability, but it was simple.
In the 20th century , driving profitability got a little more complicated. CRM, ERP, LEAN, Loyalty programs and more all promised us a better way.
So why is it that more than 80% of leaders confess that they don’t have the profit they need to fund the growth they want? Why are we seeing an increasing frequency of recessions? Why are we looking to governments for economic solutions when the power lies in our own hands and in our own business to create our own economic success, regardless of what the economy is doing?
Today, profits depend on re-humanizing the business of doing business in a high-tech world to achieve the following goals:
In other words, you need a new approach to connect the talent in your organization with the needs in your marketplace, in a way that is great for them, and highly profitable for you.
If only you had a roadmap to show you the way. Well, now you do…
Here’s a little secret that no one else is telling you about safely, sustainably, and substantially increasing your profits…
It’s really not as complicated as it sounds.
Sure, there’s work involved, but if you’re serious about yourself or your product, you already knew that. But Profit in Plain Sight is exactly what the subtitle says: the Proven Leader’s Roadmap to Profit, Passion and Growth. And who couldn’t use more of EACH of those in their business! Best of all I shows you how to get results in less time per week than you’re spending on email per day.
Listen, over the past 25 years I’ve gotten a big flat spot on my forehead from banging my head against the wall figuring out tough turnarounds . I’ve experienced every setback, mistake, and headache you can imagine while building highly profitable companies as a senior executive and as a consultant. But I’ve also managed to:
The point of those numbers is not to brag. The point is to illustrate that I know what works (and what you should avoid). I carefully documented everything I learned in on the road to creating highly profitable businesses —successes AND failures.
Profit in Plain Sight consists of two major sections – Possibilities to shatter your speed limits on what you think you can achieve – and Practicalities: 5 chapters focused on solutions to the 5 most persistent challenges standing in the way of profitable growth. Each chapter is full of practical steps, real-world examples, and helpful resources – 15 downloadable resources in all! This is not a book full of “shoulds” based on armchair theories. It is not good intentions. It is full of proven-yet-uncommon solutions in plain sight to help you build your own profit plan and succeed.
