I worked with a company that waited until the books closed to determine whether they were profitable that month. When I asked about profits by product and customer, I got a blank stare. It doesn’t have to be complicated initially but it’s one of the most valuable analytics you can perform. Some products may generate […]

I often speak with business owners that are considering an exit. They’ve built a profitable business and want a high multiple.

I have a leadership development presentation I provide for small businesses. After wrapping up, one business owner asked how to accomplish the same for $10/hr employees. “The approach is the same”, I said.

When I engage with executives, I want to quickly evaluate their frame of reference. Do they respond from a transactional or strategic perspective? Here’s a great example you can try: “How’re we doing?” you ask. It’s a very simple question but the response tells you everything you need to know. Let’s use the head of […]

I was working with a company that was exceeding revenue targets yet well below in EBITDA. I asked about profitability by product line and was told “It can’t be done.
