    Increasing Profits with the 80/20 Rule

    The Pareto Principle, commonly known as the 80/20 rule, basically implies 80% of results come from 20% of causes. When applied to business, this principle analyzes client and sales data to understand where business owners should invest their time, money, and energy.  In this episode, I delve into the 80/20 rule and how it allows business owners to better define which clients, services, and employees provide the best return on investment.     In this episode, you’ll also hear:  Identifying high profit customers and services  Analyzing employee and task productivity   Knowing where your sales come from     Must-listen moments:   [00:03:20] What you're looking for is to find out and isolate those services that are making you the most money and make sure everything is focused on it.  [00:05:44] By applying the 80/20 rule, we can maximize the productivity and efficiency by concentrating efforts on the activities that yield the greatest results and contribute most significantly to the success of the business.  [00:09:40] Sometimes that's the biggest problem. We don't realize that we're spending so much of our time and energy. and money on things that don't have a high return for us.              Visit our website and click on the Let’s Talk button: http://www.firststepsfinancial.com  Reach out to Alisa: Alisa@firststepsfinancial.com  Connect with us on social media!  FB - https://www.facebook.com/FirstStepsFinancial  IG- https://www.instagram.com/firststepsfinancial/  LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/first-steps-financial/    Podcast audio/video editing and show notes by  http://www.podcastabundance.com/services

    Are Your Prices Making a Profit? Pricing Strategies

    For any business to be profitable, services must be priced appropriately. Business owners need to regularly set profit margin goals and adjust pricing accordingly.     In this episode, I break down cost-based and value-based pricing, and tips for competitive prices that keep clients happy and revenue goals on target.  In this episode, you’ll also hear:  Covering costs and profit margin  Advantages of value-based pricing   When to change your pricing strategy     Must-listen moments:   [00:00:38] We think if we do more sales, we'll be profitable. But if you haven't priced your services correctly, no amount of sales is going to make you profitable.    [00:06:26] Your knowledge comes from years and years of experience and should not be set at an hourly rate. That doesn't cover all the education, all the training you've done, but value-based pricing would cover that.  [00:08:49] The right pricing strategy is clearly based on industry, your target market, and unique value proposition that your services bring.    Visit our website and click on the Let’s Talk button: http://www.firststepsfinancial.com  Reach out to Alisa: Alisa@firststepsfinancial.com  Connect with us on social media!  FB - https://www.facebook.com/FirstStepsFinancial  IG- https://www.instagram.com/firststepsfinancial/  LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/first-steps-financial/    Credit:   Audio/video editing and show notes by Podcast Abundance.

    Smart Debt Management

    Some believe you must spend money to make money, but that doesn’t give business owners free reign to rack up debt for business expenses and still expect to turn a profit.   In this episode, I explore the pros and cons of incurring debt and why a strategic approach to debt management aligned with your business goals is key to sustainability.   In this episode, you’ll also hear:  Identifying good debt vs. bad debt   Managing debt with intention   Creating a realistic repayment plan    Must-listen moments:   [00:01:18] But the difference between a good debt and a bad debt is that a good debt is incurred for strategic investments.
