IMPROVE ProfitABILITY:
A strategy for b2b businesses
Do you want better strategies to improve profitability? Would you like a consistent net profit of 30%+? Do you wish you were confident your revenue projections felt realistic? Would you like more time to spend with family, friends and on your own recreation? Less stress and greater satisfaction? If so, let's chat.
WHY FOCUS ON BUSINESS PROFITABILITY?
Nick Carley brings 20 years' experience as a director and MD of agencies in PR, marketing and research to the table; with most of those businesses operating profitably! You can now work with a partner who has had to accomplish real changes in mindset to move from accidental profit to what Adnovar calls intentional profit.
How many nights do you lie awake: worries about cashflow, staff, clients, costs and business development gnawing away at your rest? Adnovar's advisors would argue that perhaps it is better to obsess more positively - about profit margin and profitable customers.
Working with Nick, you will learn to focus on profitability in your organisation and work towards consistently achieving a 30% net profit. You will develop effective strategies that focus on profitability. This does not have to be at the expense of your lifestyle, time or satisfaction. Quite the opposite! Nor does it need to happen at the expense of your staff – more hours is ≠ to more profit!
Nick's enthusiasm for strategies that improve profitability, his practical, supportive, creative advice and real world experience can bring a whole new approach to your own business strategy. Tap into expertise that's based on experience gained at the sharp end of small business, not the corporate world. Adnovar's profit strategist works with directors and owners of small agencies and businesses with less than 50 employees, operating in B2B markets to help you embed profit improvement and operational efficiency into your culture. Do you want to find more time, get greater satisfaction and have happier staff? Get in touch!
Uncovering ways to improve profitability in your business
WHAT'S YOUR UNIQUE PROFITABILITY STRATEGY?
How can a business improve profitability? Your starting point is simple. We ask questions and we listen to your answers, learning all we can about your business. From there we’ll talk about the key areas of your business that influence profit margins and personal satisfaction. Next we'll put together a strategy to implement the most profitable trading strategy for your business.
Adnovar advisors will work with you to make your business the success you want it to be. We look beyond cashflow and gross profit margin as it's important to find ways to boost your net profit margin while offering better value to your clients and customers than your competitors.
Business processes will be examined. Your sales processes and pricing strategies will also be put under the microscope so that we can find ways of reducing expenses and waste, while increasing sales revenue. Profit improvement plans can be about so much more than price increases and boosting sales volume. We will examine your target market and assess whether your products or services are, genuinely, a good match for those clients' requirements. Together we'll identify inefficiency and unnecessary expenses, boosting your productivity and the value you can offer your clients.
Unlike most business mentors and investors, Adnovar's directors have never worked for corporates. Ben and Nick both have hands-on small business experience and invest their time and energy to help owners build great small businesses.
Why work with ADNOVAR?
Nick Carley is Adnovar's strategy and profit lead. An energetic entrepreneur with 30 years’ experience setting up and running businesses. He's had experience in a number of sectors including consultancy, IT, training, public relations, communications, consultation and research.
During that time, he's dealt with the same issues facing business owners now. His insights come from starting up in the dining room to scaling up and selling his shares. Those years have taught him to be creative, resilient and optimistic. These are attitudes he can help you to cultivate too. One of his central values is appreciating that you must enjoy today and not think it’s all about tomorrow.
It's one of Adnovar's core values, that running a business brings with it the chance to give you, the owner, a sense of fulfilment and satisfaction. That's alongside the opportunity to have a positive impact on the world around you. Adnovar's strategies are not just about total revenue and gross profit!
Nick in particular has developed strong analytical skills, and has proven himself quick to understand complex situations. This has seen him identify issues with a business' product range or menu of services and offer solutions that give business owners a pathway to achieving their objectives.
I’m client-focused with an ability to interpret needs both articulated and un-articulated with great one-to-one interpersonal skills. I’m well versed in the reality of managing cash flow and finances, a good marketeer with an eye for the opportunity and a proven track of delivering healthy profits.
Nick is currently a very active chair of The Minster Centre (a training institute for psychotherapists), working closely with the chief executive to steer the organisation through a challenging period.
He is (slightly) addicted to the joys of road cycling, an improving bread maker, a keen cook and love nothing more than putting the world to rights with my wife and friends over a glass of wine.
