Exercise #1

• Using benchmarking let’s look at a typical $ 5M business– We have four reps that are collectively selling $ 2.5M annually– We have a blended margin of 40%– We have good CSAT ratings– We have 10% attrition in our base– We are making a 10-15% return on the bottom line

• What can we learn from our mix of revenue?

Questions to Ask?

Sales• Are we netting what we expect

from the team and individuals?• Are we leveraging new sales

effectively to generate higher margin, lower cost revenues?

• Does everyone sell or at least generate revenue?

• Do we have the right structure?• Do we have effective

Performance Management in place?

Operations• Are we effective in delivering our

solutions on time, on budget?• Do we have good CSAT Ratings?

– What is our attrition rate?• Does Operations and Corporate

generate revenue?– Can they? How?

• Do we have the right partnerships in place to drive our desired results?

• Do we have effective Performance Management in place?

Questions to Ask?

• What would a 2% increase in margin mean to our net profit? – $ 100K or a 20% increase to the bottom line

• What would happen if we increased average sales per rep per month by $ 10K? – $ 30K bottom line

• What would happen if we were able to sell service contracts, at time of sale to 50% of all new sales?– $ 100K or a 20% increase to the bottom line

Once Corporate, Fixed and Other Costs are covered little if any additional costs apply to incremental revenues
