Gross Margin Dollars vs Gross Margin Percent
A question I get asked is, “Is it better to push for gross dollars or gross margin?”
In typical coaching speak, it depends. LOL
There is a time and place for both. There are some large companies that are extremely successful using the gross dollar approach and others using the gross margin approach.
They key is knowing both numbers so that you can make the best decision for your bottom line. Without the right amount of gross margin, with dollars or percentage, you will not have a chance to hit your bottom-line profit goal!

| 10 Jun 2019 | The 5 Mile Radius Rule for Your Local Business | 00:20:09 | |
The 5 Mile Radius Rule So how far do you search for business? Do you travel 5 miles? 10 miles? Up to 50 miles? What if I told you that the vast majority of your business should be coming from within a 5-mile radius? Most neighborhoods have thousands of potential customers within any 5-mile radius. The key is to focus on solving a pain point that many of the folks in that area are searching for.
Too often we try and shotgun all over the place vs using a sniper rifle in a small area. By going all over the place, you are costing yourself profit by wasting time driving all over the place. Once you back out your drive time and costs, you are making less than you thought. This is time you could have taken a closer job making more money.
In this episode,f we take a deeper dive into why this is an important concept and when is the best time to go beyond the 5-mile radius rule!

Even the Lone Ranger Had Tonto The Lone Ranger had Tonto and Han Solo Had Chewbacca. Even the most independent folks have had someone to bounce ideas off of, someone to help keep them grounded and occasionally even rescue them from their own silly ideas or messes. You don’t have to do this alone. You can still be a solo business owner and independent. But sometimes, isn’t it good to know others are out there and have your back?

Episode 28 – The Local Small Business Coach Podcast Today’s Topic: Q & A – Any Advice on How to Save My Business from Failing?
In today’s episode: We take a question from Tina who's business is starting to fail due to a competitor who opened and she can't seem to get back to where her business was in the past.
Shownotes: Welcome back to the Local Small Business Coach Podcast, I am your coach Tammy Adams. If you are here in the states, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Even if it was just a day off for you, I hope you enjoyed it. Guess what today is? Yep, it is time for our weekly question. When I shared my business failure back in episode 24 it was a difficult thing to admit to myself, not to mention to share with you folks. But ultimately, I knew if I could help just one person with their situation, then it would be worth it. While it has only been a week or so, the feedback has been positive and I hope the episode will continue to help others. I’m sure we will continue to dissect the learnings in the future. With that said, I thought I thought I would pick a question that came in from someone fighting that struggle today.
I want to thank you for sharing your story about your failed business. I am currently going through this very thing now. I feel like I work 24/7 and can't seem to get out of a hole that I have put myself in. When I started my business several years ago, I was growing each year and making a decent amount of money. Unfortunately, a competitor opened a couple of years ago and I haven’t been able to recover. My business has been down 30% from previous years and I'm afraid that I will not be able to hold on much longer. Should I just call it a day and close up shop or should I continue to fight? I just know I’m tired and I’m not even sure I have any fight left. - Tina
Hey Tina, I can only imagine what you are feeling. I remember those same feelings. During my last year, I felt so drained and second guessed myself and my decisions all the time. However, even though I was on the fence about if I could make it or not, the one thing I didn’t do is give up. I knew I would go down swinging. Even when I thought I didn’t have any fight left, I knew I had employees and customers counting on me. This provided me the energy needed to keep pushing.
You didn’t mention what type of business you have so I’m going to be a little more generic but my thoughts should still work.
Let’s tackle what seems to be your biggest hurdle, the competitor that has chipped away your business. Thirty percent is a hefty drop, not going to lie. But I’m curious if it has been a steady 30% loss from the beginning or if it was higher at one point? If it was higher at one point then we at least know you are headed in the right direction and we could focus on how to move that needle even more. However, if it has been a steady 30% or even worse, still sliding, then there might be some bigger issues than just your competitor.
If your business keeps sliding, then your competitors have figured out a better mouse trap. Maybe their products are better or their services. For some reason, they are hitting your customer’s needs better than you are. Tina, your mission if you are willing to fight longer, is to find out what they are doing better than you. First and foremost, look at two key things: Customer Service & Quality. Why these two? Because, people will pay more if they are getting excellent customer service and great quality. Don’t assume it is price. It might be these items. I’ve seen many folks falsely believe it is price, so they lowered their prices to combat. Since the core issue had nothing to do with price, it actually just compounded the problem. So now, not only were they were losing customers due to customer service and / or quality, they pushed their sales even lower by dropping their prices. I’m not sure if you did this or not but if you did, then don’t worry, you can always fix that later. But first, you need to focus on how you can stand out from this competitor those two key issues: Service and Quality.
One thing I’ve learned about new competition opening, is that you always have the initial dip in sales due to what I call the looky loo syndrome. People are always excited by what is new and shiny. They will always give it a try. Whether they stay or not, is up to you and that competitor. When I was with Home Depot, we knew that we would have an initial drop in business, but if we continued to offer great service and showed why they loved us in the first place, they would come back “home” if you will. Even better would be if that competitor stumbled. Fast forward to when the competition opened with my ice cream store. This time it was a yogurt place. I told the kids that worked for me to focus on the experience our customers had and keep the quality of our product high. Folks would miss us and come back. Sure enough, after losing the initial 40% we crept back up and within two years we were back to where we were when they opened.
Now this brings us to the second situation you might be in. Hopefully you are crawling your way back. The problem might be, it isn’t fast enough which is why you feel like you might not make it. So the question becomes, how can you speed it up? I still recommend that you make sure your customer service and quality are top notched. If not, put a plan together to make this a top priority. Then you will need to figure out how to get the word out in the community. Unfortunately, your most powerful ally in this will be word of mouth from your customers. If you can get them sharing their experiences on Facebook. If you can get your customers to do some reviews for you or testimonials, even better. Anything you can get add to your website or any other websites will help. Yelp, Google, etc will all help when folks are investigating why you. The next thing you need to do it find out if they have a product or service that makes them the ideal go to vs you. Have they figured out something special or that you were missing in your mix that this competitor is now providing? If you haven’t already, you need to study this competitor. Ask around, what are people liking. Look online, what are people saying? Even if these folks are awesome, you need to get to their level in your customer’s mind.
Tina, your question wasn’t really about your competitor but more about your business that is failing. But hopefully you can see, part of your problem is your competition. If you decide to hang on and fight, then you will need to address how you will continue to recover from this competitor opening. So I guess the next question becomes, should you keep fighting or should you call it a day? I’m always a champion of the underdog so my first thought is to keep pushing. But the reality is, that isn’t always the best option. I know when I look back on my situation, I realized I should have ended mine a year or two sooner. If I was honest with myself, I got hung up on getting back my lost sales but the problem was, even if I did, it still was not enough to create a living. My question then becomes, if you could get back to your old sales and profits, is it enough to make a solid living? If so, then at least you know you are working towards having a business worth having. However, if you were barely surviving before the competitor, then I think you already know your answer. I found I knew deep down what I should do, yet kept thinking the outcome was going to be different this time, even though that was more in my heart vs my mind. What you will want to do is put pen to paper and analyze what you need in sales and in profit to keep the business going. You also need to identify what the timeline you are looking at to achieve it. If it is going to take you 3 years to get to this point yet you only have the financial resources to last another year, then staying in business might not be the best plan of action. Now if you can find other ways to remain financially stable while you rebuild, then it might be worth riding it out. Tina, I wish it was a simple answer but it rarely is when it comes to a business’s survival. I’ll tell you what, I’m going to reach out to you so we can discuss in more detail and see if maybe we can brainstorm a few ideas. I appreciate you being open and honest and sharing this painful time in your business. I know first hand how difficult it is to reach out and actually admit you are facing this difficult time.
My message for anyone out there who might be in a similar situation is to try and take a step back, pull out any emotion you might be feeling, which by the way I know is easier said than done, and spend an hour or two with a clear logical mind and crunch the numbers. Not just your sales and profit but expenses and costs. What would you need to tweak, to change, to right the ship? After you spend that first hour, spend a few more to develop a gameplan. When you have laid out the plan, you need to determine if the business is worth saving. If it isn’t, then make plans on shutting it down or possibly selling it to someone. There is probably something there that someone else might see as the seed to start their business or an existing business looking to expand. Now, if after laying out the plan you realize that you are fired up and can see the light at the end of the tunnel then I say go for it! However, have some check in points along the way. Some milestones to see if you are on track. You need to have some exit points that make sense if you aren’t. Don’t get me wrong, I want you to believe in your heart you will make it, however, I also want your feet securely grounded in reality.
Well, that wraps up another Q & A.

Gross Profit vs Net Profit Do you know the difference between your gross profit and your net profit? Keep in mind, Sales – COGs – Expenses = Net Profit. Your Gross Profit is before your expenses. Make sure you keep this in mind before you start counting the money you’ve “made”. Net profit is the true measure of how successful you are. ~~~~

Why Your Words Matter in Your Business Through the years I’ve made the mistake of assuming words didn’t matter and assumed some conversations wouldn’t be overheard. Maybe you have as well. But the reality is, people do hear and based on our positions as business leaders those words matter and create some issues we never saw coming. Let’s discuss…

| 02 Nov 2016 | Ep 18 - Why Your Small Business Needs a Sales Journal or Log | 00:16:04 | |
Episode 18 – The Local Small Business Coach Podcast Today We Discuss: Why Your Small Business Needs a Sales Journal or Log
In today’s episode: We discuss how keeping a sales log / journal gives you powerful information to use increase your sales & profits each year by learning from the past.
Shownotes: Now, let’s dive into today’s topic which is a huge game changer when implemented and used. With used being the key word. But, more on that shortly. I am a big fan of having a daily sales log. Now, for those of you that aren’t familiar with a sales journal or log, it is basically about capturing key information that you can refer to in the future to better drive your profit and sales. It also can lead to better decisions on processes and people. Since they hit all 4 of our key topics of profit, sales, process and people, it is a fantastic tool to have in your tool belt.
So, what types of information would be great for you to capture?
Sales – The most obvious thing you will want to capture is your sales. I recommend your daily sales and depending on your business, possibly even what items or services you sold. This is last part is much easier on some brick and mortar businesses that have registers that capture sales by item. Why is this important? What better way to look back and know your sales pattern and your peaks and valleys? You gather information that shows trends by the day of the week as well as how your weeks and months play out. It is really fun to watch once you can stack each year on top of each other. I think you really see clear trends. Which now leads into another great category to capture
Categories – For those of you that have certain services or categories that are critical to watch, tracking how these do can offer great insight into purchasing product and what you can expect in sales. An example I’ll share from when I had my ice cream shop was the category of ice cream cakes. This was a big chunk of my business. It was very important for me to capture these sales so I knew what to plan for. Which leads to another great thing to capture:
Unique situations – Since we are talking about this part of my business, one thing that I had to capture were any unique situations that happened. Now, unique can be something as basic as the impact of holidays or something that is important in your local community and it impacts your business, such as pioneer days, freedom days, graduations, chili cook offs, etc. We all have local events that could potentially have an impact on our business. By the way, other things can impact or business but they don’t happen that often. But a year from now, you might not recall them happening. A great example of this might be repaving of your parking lot or a broken fire hydrant or road closures. Which leads to another common impact on our business.
Weather – Weather can have a huge impact on a lot of local small business owners. Think about what hurricanes, floods, etc. Now those are extremes, but any storm - whether rain or snow will impact most folks business. Especially if it wasn’t normal for the time of the year. It could be a heat wave as well.
Holidays – Holidays will impact businesses differently. Some will flourish during these times and others will tank. You need to know by how much and see the trend. Here is why knowing you jump in sales in November just isn’t enough. Let’s say you have tracked the last 2 years of sales for the Christmas season. Your business tends to jump 20% the past 2 years. Now, let’s assume you have been tweaking your business and now you are having your best year ever. You are actually up 20% in your business all year long. Think about how much business could be missed if you didn’t plan on seeing a true 40% jump this coming holiday season? You have to plan for the 20% trend you already are on plus an additional 20% for your normal jump. So if last year you did say $10,000 in business, you now much prepare for an additional $4,000 on top of that! Having this information helps you be prepared for our next item
Better Hiring – Knowing what is coming allows you to not only plan for your inventory needs, it also allows you to prepare for your people needs. Do you need to hire more folks? Do you need to cut back your part time hours? If you see that last year your sales dipped for two weeks due to the street being repaired, then you know you probably don’t need to cut back your people needs during this same time this year.
Coupons & Ads – Finally, you want to capture the impact that any coupons or ads you run have on your business. What worked and what didn’t? So as you can see, there are quite a few key things that impact your business and would be great to know the history. I can’t tell you how often I referred to my sales log to see how I could maximize my sales and profits.

EPISODE 104 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast Today’s Main Tip: Attitude, Amplify & Action = A Success Business Question of the Week: How Much Money Can I Make in My Business
In today’s episode, we discuss… A) A question on how you should set your prices in the beginning stages of your business. You initially want to be competitive with your competitors. Once you build a reputation for service and quality of work, you can start to pull away from the pack but your first goal needs to be getting your foot in the door.
B) We go over my rant for the week on cold calling. We discussed that if you do any cold calling you must make a personal connection first and not insult your target audience just because they aren’t ready to hear your sales pitch at this time. Insulting them will only cause them to remember your company in a negative way but also in a way that will trickle to their family, friends and neighbors.
C) Finally, we discussed three words that will help you towards great success. That when you focus on Attitude, Amplify & Action you can take your business to the next level. These words serve as a reminder to take your life and business to the next level.
