Stages of Development

EPISODE A5.002 Analysis of Stage IV Performance

20/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Introduction
New week, same perspective with greater conviction.

After being attentive to the weekend news about the continued arbitrary government response to COVID19, there is only one course for the business owner - ignore their word salad of concern and work around it. 

Being passive and waiting for the right decision will put you out of business. There are only two ‘people’ who have that right - you and the customer.

IBGR is committed to your success and our programming is for legal aggression (OK, I’ll make it nicer - assertiveness) to open, stay open, and be profitable.

Unlike the rest of society - we have your back.

​As a Business Owner this is a critical time. The Growth Stage represents when the business has achieved (or should have) its maximum value. It was  hard to achieve and it is unwise to leave too much on the table - growth you could have achieved is Stage IV and didn't. There is nothing that can be done about it now except shift your emphasis from revenue to profit.

Key Questions:
  1. How close to the capacity goal did we reach in Stage IV?
  2. What are the margins for each major product & service line?
  3. What are the margins and share of wallet achieved for the major accounts,? and
  4. What was the cost of doing business in the area of fixed costs?
