Do you intuitively know your business is leaving money on the table but aren’t sure where or how to get it? Sometimes it takes an outsider’s help to gain clarity.
This service provides you with actionable recommendations to improve your bottom line, and helps you get started with actually implementing them.
WHAT WE DO: Nick and his team will conduct a thorough review of your core business, providing clear insights on specific, realistic things you can do to improve operational profitability. We will examine in detail (i) three to five years of financial statements to understand the big picture within the context of your goals (ii) your marketing, sales, and customer service engines that drive your revenue, and (iii) your product or service delivery that drives your margin.
WHAT YOU GET: A straight-forward action plan highlighting specific findings and actionable recommendations to improve your bottom line. You don’t want to pay for a consultant’s report that collects dust and never gets implemented, so the service also includes one month of follow-up support via e-mail to help you get started with actually making improvements in your business. Enhanced support is available upon request.
WHO WE WORK WITH: This service is intended for established (minimum 36+ months) specialty B2C businesses with personnel such as direct-to-consumer brands, specialty retailers, and niche consumer service providers. Clients should have P&L responsibility for either the overall business or an operating unit. If that doesn’t describe your business, you can still benefit from Nick’s content by subscribing to Customers, Costs, and Cash Flow.
HOW LONG IT TAKES: Specific timelines will be discussed before commencing and depend upon the size and complexity of your organization, as well as your ability to provide access to the necessary data and personnel. Having said that, most SMB game plans are completed within approximately 1 month and large company operating unit game plans within 1-2 months.
HOW MUCH IT COSTS: Most consultants aren’t even willing to estimate your investment without making you get on a call. In the interest of providing you with a great customer experience, Nick wants you to feel comfortable that we’re in the same ballpark before you reach out. In $USD, service starts in the mid four figures for a small business and typically goes up to the mid five figures for a major operating unit within a large company. Your investment ultimately depends upon the size and complexity of your organization, any necessary travel, and the length and type of follow-up support you request.
VALUE: Results vary and are affected by multiple factors, many of which depend on you. Having said that, Nick’s goal is to always deliver clients value worth at least 7x their investment. If you don’t see the value, Nick will work with you to find a solution.
