The Profit Pro Consulting System

The Profit Pro Business Consulting System consists of a comprehensive business planning system designed to improve performance in areas of Management, Marketing, Sales, Operations and Finance. Profit Pro has spent the last 30 years creating and refining a templated system of modules for each of the 5 core areas of the business. The system provides the necessary tools and technologies required to improve business performance through research, strategy, planning, systems development, analysis, innovation and action.

The Management Module is the main information system that drive the strategic objectives for the company. Therefore, when developing plans for Marketing, Sales, Operations, Finance or any other functional areas of the business, the information in the Management Module is to be utilized to complete those functional plans, systems and operations. All planning is based on achieving the company strategic objective.

Each functional department will combine and integrate both the Management Module and The Functional Module (Marketing, Sales, Operations, Finance) they are responsible for, simultaneously. As the business develops department plans, the focus should align with those objectives that will support the overall strategic objective.

Management Consulting

Successful management is systemization. To do it, you must think systemically as well as systematically. What we see in most businesses today is owners being overwhelmed with running the day-to-day that they never get to the planning. Bringing in a Management consultant is likely the only  way to ensure that the goals of the business ownership is achieved.

As an owner, you have to change your mindset…systemic thinking means you are aware that your business is a system and it’s composed of macro systems and micro systems all dependent on each other to achieve the result you want for your strategic objective. You learn to approach each business function by creating systems to accomplish results and solve problems by creating systems to eliminate them. A system is defined as the steps and standards required to achieve a result.

In order to achieve sustainable growth, four macro systems are required:

  1. Marketing
  2. Sales
  3. Management
  4. Operations
  5. Finance and Information

The Profit-Minded Business Owner’s Point of View

  • Starts a business that can be scaled, turn-keyed, and sold for a desired profit.
  • Looks for and matches markets and products that create automatic customers that have enough potential to make a desired profit.
  • Hires people, employees, and expert consultants to design, plan, systemize, and document training and implementation tools proven to work.
  • Invests resources to ensure that the organization has the tools, equipment, facilities, inventory, people, systems, and training to achieve all key performance objectives – especially profit.
  • Trains, oversees, meets, and develops a management team that can run the business profitably without the owner being present.
  • Constantly improves and innovates systems and people to beat the competition.
  • Transitions out of daily operations or sells the business for that desired profit.

Growth businesses are built based on the number and effectiveness of their strategic growth projects. Goals, plans, and behavior determine what people do and what they accomplish. Growth requires priority – a strategic objective and series of plans driven by systems and quantification create a chain of actions that, over time, achieve growth objectives.

Are you willing to invest the time and resources to turn your business into a money-making machine?

Marketing Consulting

Marketing Plan First….

A marketing plan is part of the business plan. The marketing plan should always be completed ahead of spending for marketing tactics such as digital internet marketing, radio, or website creation.

Most businesses do not take the time to implement this important step which is why it will take an outsider like a Profit Pro Consultant to get the marketing plan documented so the strategic objective of the company is achieved.

The plan begins with the mission statement including; products and services offered, customer groups served, customer needs, and the unique competitive advantages of the Company. The key component of the marketing plan is that which strategically describes how the objectives will be achieved.

Financial Management Consulting

Reducing the cost of doing business and increasing profits are the number one preoccupation of company leadership and management. But even a well thought out budget, meticulous record keeping, and cost-cutting measures will not be enough to keep the business in good running order. The key is to make money work for the company—both as incoming and outgoing funds. To do that, leadership must root out profit-robbing culprits, such as ineffective or lack of processes, outdated equipment, rework costs, and low productivity.

A systemized process is the answer to maximize the financial area of the business. Without a carefully planned process, profits disappear without leadership evening knowing it.
