How to Find 38% More Profit in an Hour or Less – Segmentation

As intoxicating as finding 38% more profit in an hour sounds, we need to take a reality check before you jump in. The unvarnished truth is that the decisions you make as a result of the ideas presented may be hard and counterintuitive. The solutions will likely involve decisions such as raising prices on some customers, reducing inventory to increase sales, putting guardrails up and saying no sometimes, and treating certain

customers differently from others. We also have to work with the cost data we have, which is often not accurate.

Buckle up, friend. This segmentation analysis, fueled by real data, will give you great power. Wield it well.

Here’s an overview:
