The 3 - 5% Profit Lever Most Owners Ignore - Profit Tip #19 of 99
More revenue is good.
Not many of us business owners realise how powerful a small margin shift can be.
A 3% improvement in gross margin on a $2m business is $60k.
At $3m it’s $90k.
That money often comes from operational tweaks:
• Delivery efficiency
• Supplier terms
• Upsell discipline
• Job costing accuracy (This is a biggie I notice)
• Installation efficiency
These aren’t glamorous changes.
But they move the needle faster than chasing more leads.
Before you spend another dollar on marketing, ask:
Have I maximised the profit from the work I already win?
Bet you there’s some gold in here.
