![Ep 003 Know Your Numbers](https://s3.amazonaws.com/soundwiseinc/soundcasts/16227660641597356e.jpg)
Whether you’re pitching for investment or running a (division/department) of a business, you need to know your numbers.
The health and viability of every business can be broken down into and brought back to the numbers. This is not something you outsource to your accountant and if you're a smaller business, and the company is big enough to have a CFO, you still need to know and be able to deliver the numbers as required for your area of the business, whether that is just one part of the business or the whole company.
This is not just about the P&L or balance sheet. They are latent metrics. This is also about both live, real time data and trend and demographic data. The number of people I’ve met who don’t know their costs, don’t know their profit margins, don’t know the lifetime value of their clients or the acquisition cost of a client…. it ‘s staggering.
You cannot take educated and informed decisions in business without knowing your numbers. Any decision you make without that knowledge is simply a gamble. You can just as well rock on down to the local casino and roll the dice.
ABOUT THE OPTIMISATION ZONE
The Optimisation Zone is about being in that space where your business is able to deal with unexpected situations whether brilliant opportunities or potentially troublesome challenges. Through these videos I present both ideas and concepts, and practical executable information for people to be able to use and implement in their business. Some of the videos are directly from myself based on the 30+ years I've invested in my career of growing and exiting businesses and helping others to do the same. Other videos are from professionals and experts I know, like, trust and respect in their area of expertise.
The principles of the Optimisation Zone cross over the different training programs I offer through my company Manolutions - Management Solutions for Unleashing Potential.
Our low-cost high-value live training is the Pitch Deck Creation Training Program which is designed for professionals and companies of all sizes; from solopreneurs/sole-traders to very large businesses. The cost of this live training doesn't change the bigger you are. It's simply positioned to help as many people as possible. You can find out more below.
