10 Core Profit Centers: Business Growth Hacking to Quadruple Profits

In bad economic times, the big and the strong destroy the small and the weak. This has been true in every downturn the economy has ever seen. Here’s the other certainty. Those companies that build and grow during these hard times, become the industry leaders of tomorrow when the economy stabilizes. The good news is; now’s the time to act! You can remember this as the great recession, or the recession that made your company great.

Since there are only 24 hours in every day, the only path to durable success is doing things smarter and more efficiently, with great consistency.  This is what separates the winners and losers. The problem in most companies is not the products or services being sold, but in the skills and creative innovation the entrepreneurs and managers apply to the core profit areas of their business. At Quadruple Profits we have broken these down into 10 areas of success and named them the Core Profit Centers.

My local diner serves the best cheeseburger deluxe I have ever eaten. 150 people eat there on a good week. Two blocks away is a “Fortune 500” burger franchise that serves 150 people an hour. I assure you the difference is not the quality of the meat, but the prowess of each executive that has a laser focus on these 10 Core Profit Centers.

Once your business model and systems are rock solid, consistency and efficiency are the wind under your feet rocketing you to the finish line. Our overall strategy is to supercharge these 10 centers, and coordinate them to look and feel consistent, and moving in the same direction. I have written a report, “10 Areas of Consistent Focus to Quadruple Profits and Transform Your Business: The Core Profit Centers.” This paper outlines these ten areas of success, the impact they have on your bottom line, and how to supercharge each one to quadruple your profit margins and increase the money in your pocket.

Although it comes last on our list the setting for great success includes consistency, efficiency, and coordination. Spending more and more money, time, and energy on sales that won’t put money in your pocket is a waste of a great product or service, and of course what might have been the world’s greatest marketing plan. Efficiency, as described in my writing here and elsewhere, cost nothing but brainpower, and every move you make toward being more efficient is money that ends up directly in your bank account.

Effective entrepreneurs and CEO’s know they must master these 10 areas, or delegate the responsibilities. Many owners/managers do a few of these really well, but to quadruple profits and build a strong durable company that you can count on in good times and bad, takes a consistent approach that has a relentless focus on improving and adjusting these 10 Core Profit Centers.

To begin this process, you must start by understanding the Core Narrative or corporate pitch. It’s number one on the list, and the starting point for any attempt to supercharge your company and slaughter the competition. Not only that, with a lot of hard work and determination you can create it yourself for free! The Core Narrative is discussed further in my article, “A Great Core Narrative Quadruples profits Every Time.” Once you have done the research and created a KILLER Core Narrative you will be ready to focus on “financial management” and the other 8 profit centers.
