Many aspects of your flooring business combine together to either increase or decrease your profits. When you have proper budgeting, job costing, and regularly run sales analysis, you can see flaws that cause profit leakage.
What is profit Leakage?
Profit leakage is when an inefficiency, flaw, or mistake culminates in a job netting your business less profit than it should. Profit leakage is easy to find when you run a sales analysis! The main question you’ll be asking is how does the profit I expected from this job compare to the actual profit I received.
How Do I Find Profit Leaks?
When you run your sales analysis you’ll be directed to the problem. For example, if you are selling flooring for a single family home, you need to know what you budgeted for when you wrote up the flooring sale for that home. Then you need to take a look at your ultimate result for that particular sale. The discrepancies should direct you to any problems that are causing profit leaks.
What Areas Of My Business Could Be The Problem?
Running one sales analysis isn’t going to show you the whole picture of your business. But, when you look regularly at all the jobs you finish you’ll be able to start getting a better idea of what needs work. Ask yourself, do these less profitable jobs all involve a particular sales rep? Do certain customers regularly make last minute changes that cause a delay? Does one installation team take longer than others for similar jobs?
