You sell well. The Excel spreadsheet balances. But the margin... is nowhere to be found.
It's not always a matter of big mistakes. Sometimes; the costs that most affect your profitability are the ones no one is looking at.
Are you reviewing these expenses in your company? Check the ones that apply... and add them up.
☑️ Uncontrolled contracts and/or "verbal agreements" Contracts and agreements that no one renegotiates and are automatically renewed.
☑️ Unused systems and licenses Duplicate software; underused tools; or tools that the team has stopped using.
☑️ Inefficient logistics Small misalignments in transport; routes; or deliveries that make each unit more expensive.
☑️ Overtime due to disorganisation Unplanned. Recurring. Expensive. And often avoidable.
☑️ Travel expenses and "soft" expenses without a clear policy Training; travel; events. When there are no criteria; spending escalates uncontrollably.
🔍 It's not about cutting back; it's about taking a close look at what usually goes unnoticed.
