Consultation

Ron Norton specifically consults for small businesses. The term small business is variously defined, depending on the industry. Small businesses have both different and similar problems to medium size and large businesses.

One of the biggest differences is exponential growth potential. It is far easier to double the size of a small business than a large one. But, no matter what size you are, all businesses have these 6 elements in common:

The need to surround yourself with the right people

A system to acquire new customers

An effective method of selling the customer

Customer product and service satisfaction

Repeat business

A method of transforming customers into advocates who will sell for you through word of mouth.

The above 6 steps create a cycle that causes increase of customer base.

Increase of customer base is growth.

There’s nothing new about the above 6 steps but there’s plenty to know about what’s preventing them from occurring in your business and that’s where we can help.

 

Do you ever get the feeling you’re working for everyone else?

  • If your personal disposable income from your company’s earnings is less that 50% – then you are.
  • It means you are working for your employees, your vendors, the utility companies and a host of others who are making money from your efforts.
  • Why do we focus on your disposable income?
    Because that is the money that YOU are making. The rest of your income is going to others.
  • This is why we manage finances with such scrutiny?
    Our services to protect your disposable income include:

Profit Analysis:

The purpose of our Profit Analysis is to determine what needs to be done to increase your profits with existing resources.  Here is where we find where your actions are paying the best dividends and which ones aren’t and then program a handling to increase what you are doing right.  Anyone can increase your sales – but at what cost?  If you make 10 million and spend 11 million, your company is a failure.

Your marketing has a lot to do with this and there are a host of other factors that can result in less effort on your part while increasing your disposable income.  Time is a valuable commodity, particularly now.  As you get older, time means more to you and the extra moments at home are precious.  Let’s see how we can help you make more money with less effort. 

Cost Analysis:

Many companies do not inspect their costs after making their original decisions on how to spend their income. Factors like faulty marketing – including wrong message, wrong publics and lack of SEO,  lack of inventory and/or bulk purchasing pricing, weak accounting procedures, failure to take all your tax deductions, embezzlement and just plain poor purchasing habits can bleed your finances and reduce your disposable income.  

The purpose of our Cost Analysis is to find out where your finances are bleeding.  Our job is to reduce your cost/profit ratio so you get more of the money you are earning.  We do this by finding where your financial resources are being wasted and then program out the steps necessary to remedy it.  We can do these steps with you.
