How’d that Happen? Customers, Sales – But No Profit!

“What you don’t measure, you can’t control.”

        Edwards Deming (SPC, Taguchi method, 6 sigma)

 

Are you measuring your business?

  • Number of prospects you have
  • What you conversion rate from prospect to client/customer is
  • Average $$$ per sale
  • No. of transactions over a specified period
  • Your margins
  • Lifetime value of a customer is = (# of clients * amount purchased each time * number of purchases * percent markup * attrition rate)/# of clients

 

Once you know the above, you know your business – whether you are an attorney, a financial planner, a web designer or a marketing consultant.  And once you know the lifetime value of a customer, you can leverage your business immediately.  How? 

Here’s an example:

 

Total Marketing $$$ spent in last 12 months

$50,000

No. of new clients from the above

200

Avg. Cost per new client

$50,000/200 = $250

 

 

Avg. Sale size (in this business)

$27

No. of visits per year per client

24

Avg. “lifetime” of a client

5 years

GROSS sales over the avg. life

$3240

 

 

Conservative Gross Sales (75%)

$2430

Profit Margin

40%

Gross Profits ($2340 x 0.40)

$972

Discount Value of Money, $972 for 5 yrs. @ 6% interest

$726.33

 

 Let’s round down to $700        Divide $700/$250 = 2.80

This means you could raise your advertising and marketing budget by 2.8 times right NOW and still break even.  If you are making less than $250 profit per customer, you won’t be in business long!
