What If Your Cash Flow Challenge Wasn't Caused by a Lack of Sales?

If working with thousands of businesses over the past 20 years has taught me anything about managing cash flow and increasing your bottom-line profitability it's this -- most business owners don't have a clue.

They think that the root of the problem is lack of sales, and while it may be, there are actually five main causes of cash flow challenges, three of which have nothing to do with a lack of sales, and two of which are made worse with a sales increase!  (Keep reading to learn more.)

When growing your business, you've got to have reliable and consistently profitable sales to fuel your growth. That means solid collections, strategic pricing, effective cost controls, rational revenue and expense forecasting, and powerful sales optimization.

I understand what it's like to struggle to make a business succeed.  You've got challenges like balancing staffing levels with sales volume -- and how to deal when sales volume isn't steady.  You've got client "fires" that you get pulled into putting out.  You've got conflicting demands all calling for your attention.  

And if that wasn't enough, you've got all of this while needing to make sure your business stays profitable -- balancing cash in with cash out -- and making sure you earn a fair and healthy profit for your blood, sweat, and tears.

​Twenty years ago I launched my first venture, investing my entire life savings at that time of $3,200 to fund the start.  Ten months later I was out of business, with a bruised ego and a sorely needed dose of humility.

But that experience was one of the best business schools I could have ever attended.

In fact, when I started my second company I took those earlier lessons and used them to help me do things smarter the second time around.  Until a decade later, there I was at age 34, an "overnight" success, having built one of the nation's leading training companies valued at $10-16 million, with no debt, no outside investors, just me and one business partner, with a company generating $3.5 million of operating profit a year.​

My point is, business is a learned skill.  And managing cash flow is one that most business owners allow themselves to stay ignorant of because they feel intimidated by the language of money and financial statements.  But the truth is, learning the language of money is easy -- if you have a good teacher -- and it's the fastest way you can increase profitability.  And I can show you exactly how...

Module One: How to Diagnose the REAL Cause of Your Cash Flow Challenge and Quickly Get Back to Profitability

  • Is it really a lack of sales that's hurting your cash flow?
    Most business owners mistakenly think that the cause of their cash flow challenge is a lack of sales. Often it is an issue with collections, pricing, too great a cost of goods sold, the proportion of expenses relative to their sales volume, or poor collections practices. That means that increasing sales may just cause their business to go into a deeper cash crunch or even fail.

    The Cash Flow Formula will give you a simple tool to pinpoint the true cause of your present cash flow challenge, and the business framework to know what to do with that insight.

Module Four:  Setting Up Your Collections System to Improve Your Cash Flow and Profitabilty

  • Do you even know how much money you're losing through bad collections? 
    Most companies lose 5-10% of their sales to poor collections practices. This translates in most businesses to 15-30% of their operating profit.  This one section of the Cash Flow Formula will give you the fundamentals you need to upgrade your collections system in the next 30 days so you collect more of what your owed -- faster.
  • Speeding up your Collection Cycle makes managing your cash flow easier.
    The faster you can speed up your "Collections Cycle" (the time from when you have money going out the door in "Cost of Goods Sold" through the time you collect from your client or customer) the easier it is to manage your cash flow and the faster you can grow your company without outside capital.  Learn how you can speed up your Collections Cycle 30-60-90 days faster on average.
