PROFIT LEADER COACHING SERVICES

The Profit Leader Philosophy. People following an industrial age approach to business often use a loss leader model. They offer a product or service at cost, or even below cost, to generate foot traffic. Once they get that foot traffic in the door, they then try to sell those people more expensive things. The key is to get a lot of foot traffic in the door and do a high volume of business in order to generate profits. The gig economy has made this model obsolete, and competing on price is a losing proposition. No matter how low you set your prices for whatever you’re offering, there is someone out there who can sell at a lower price. Unless you’re an Amazon or an Uber with investors that are willing to subsidize years of losses in the billions before turning a profit, it’s no longer possible to regularly generate profitable high volume foot traffic with loss leaders. So, if you can’t use price competition to generate foot traffic, what can you use? For the answer, we have to go back to those cliche buzz words “personal brand” and “unique value proposition” for guidance. Now that social media is becoming the dominant means of business development, people choose their service providers based on who those people are and the unique advantages they offer. In a weird way, social media has brought back a small-town mentality when people actually knew their butcher or mechanic by name and were loyal to those people. To generate foot traffic then, you don’t lead with the least valuable thing you offer, you lead with your most valuable service. Since this is the opposite of a loss leader approach, I call it a profit leader approach. Let people know who you are and what the unique benefits of working with you are. Instead of making money off of high volume foot traffic, make money by identifying those people who will pay a premium for what you have to offer and by building valuable, long-term relationships with those people. Yes, you will be aiming for a smaller number of customers, but those customers will be more loyal and will pay a premium to work with you.

Before the pandemic, if you woke up with a runny nose or a tickle in your throat, it was a simple enough decision to stay home and avoid infecting your co-workers. Now, as more Americans work from home, sick days are disappearing.

This is a once-in-a-generation ‘take this job and shove it’ moment – which gives workers an upper hand. Let’s demand better hours, pay and work-life balance

As employers reimagine a post-Covid workplace, a four-day workweek may become a new perk. Here are three that are already doing it.

The Great Resignation continues to fascinate me; seems the entire country is saying “take this job and shove it.” I remember when downsizing and asking people to do more with less and for less started in the 80s; perhaps that business mentality is finally over.

The numbers were a reflection of the leverage workers have in the current economic market, with job openings outnumbering unemployed workers.

This article posits an interesting thesis, that moving forward managers will have to become much more like coaches to be successful. Definitely a lot of food for thought here.

The pandemic has exposed a fundamental weakness in the system.

This article is so interesting, primarily because the point of view is so skewed. This says jobs are safer than gig work because jobs come with benefits. But that’s true for only a percentage of jobs, full time jobs. Anyway a good read.

An astonishing one in three US workers does gig work now.

Interesting take on “The Great Resignation,” incorporating Thoreau. I do think that this rebalancing between work and life is a permanent alteration of our cultural identity. And I think it’s a good thing.

The coronavirus pandemic threw everyone into Walden Pond.

I grew up hearing about the Great Depression. I lived through the Great Recession. And now I am witnessing the Great Resignation. There is no putting the labor force back in the bottle/cubicle now!
