Podcasts about cutting costs

Reimagining Affordable Healthcare with Mark Newman of Nomi Health In this compelling episode, Michael connects with Mark Newman, co-founder and CEO of Nomi Health, to tackle the unsustainable state of the U.S. healthcare system. Mark shares a bold vision: rebuilding healthcare from the ground up to be 30–50% more affordable. With every American contributing $1,600 annually to Medicare, Mark emphasizes that we can't afford not to innovate. Together, they unpack how business-minded strategies can drive healthcare transformation—making it not only more cost-effective but more accessible for everyone. Cutting Through Complexity: Transparent Pricing in Healthcare Michael and Mark dive deep into one of the healthcare system's most pressing pain points: the lack of pricing transparency. From surprise bills to excessive admin burdens, they expose how the system drives up costs and burns out providers. Mark offers a refreshing solution—transparent, upfront pricing with no copays or deductibles. This model empowers patients, increases provider compensation, and saves employers and families money. It's a call to action for simplicity and clarity in care. Preventative Care: The $500 Billion Solution What if we could save half a trillion dollars a year by focusing on prevention instead of reaction? Mark presents a transformative idea: double the compensation of primary care providers and pivot the system toward proactive, preventative care for every American. The initial investment—around $200 billion—pales in comparison to the potential economic impact: a trillion dollars returned annually to businesses, families, and government. Michael and Mark explore how prioritizing wellness today can dramatically reshape our health and financial future. Fixing What's Broken: A Smarter Approach to Healthcare Wrapping up the conversation, Michael and Mark shine a light on the root inefficiencies plaguing today's healthcare ecosystem. From misaligned incentives that reward reactive treatment to outdated administrative processes, it's clear the system needs a redesign. Mark calls for a healthcare model that prioritizes simplicity, efficiency, and preventative care.

My guest today is Cliff Sosin. Cliff is the founder of CAS Investment Partners, a fund he started with $5 million in 2012 and has grown to $1.7 billion as of the last reported numbers at the end of 2024. At the time, CAS had only four positions. This conversation is different to our typical episodes. We start by talking about Cliff's investing philosophy but the bulk of this long discussion is a case study into his remarkable investment in Carvana. Cliff is one of the biggest investors in the business, which had a market cap over $60 billion in 2021, then fell 99%, survived, and now has a market cap approaching $50 billion again. While I hosted Carvana's CEO, Ernie Garcia, last year to get the inside perspective on managing through such turbulence, today we hear the investor's side of this extraordinary story. It is a singular episode and there are so many lessons in this rare opportunity to hear a major investor describe his decision-making process at every stage of the journey. Please enjoy my great conversation with Cliff Sosin.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams takes listeners on a dynamic exploration of Dealer Synergy's innovative outsourced BDC operations situated in Belize!  "Sales is not a one-size-fits-all type of thing... The more creative you can get, the more sales you can do." - LA Williams Recorded LIVE, Williams spells out the operational efficiencies and strategic advantages of leveraging an international call center—pointing out cost savings, quality customer service delivery, and the critical training methodologies that contribute to enhanced dealership success. "Geography does not have to be a challenge anymore. We can employ folks from anywhere in the world!" - LA Williams LA offers a behind-the-scenes insight into how a 2,000-person call center functions, proving that geographic distance does not impede quality customer service or dealership results. Utilizing a Belize-based team trained with Dealer Synergy's advanced methodologies, sales operations are not only streamlined but amplified. By demolishing traditional sales models, Williams articulates how automotive dealerships can thrive by adapting to globalized business strategies, therefore keeping showrooms thriving and customer satisfaction at its peak!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Cost Efficiency and Scalability: Outsourcing BDCs to regions like Belize significantly reduces overhead costs versus U.S.-based operations, making it economically advantageous for dealers to expand their reach. ✅ Training and Quality Assurance: Dealer Synergy's comprehensive training ensures that agents, regardless of location, provide professional, high-quality customer service that matches or surpasses in-house teams. ✅ Technological Integration and Flexibility: Utilizing platforms like Zoom for meetings and sales allows sales teams to operate seamlessly from anywhere, thus expanding the scope and efficiency of dealerships. ✅ Cultural Adaptability: Belize's predominantly English-speaking population allows for seamless communication with the U.S. market, dispelling concerns over language barriers. ✅ Future of Automotive Sales: Innovative practices are setting a new standard for the industry's future, emphasizing the importance of a global operational perspective and advanced technological integration for sustained success.     About LA Williams LA Williams is the Vice President of Dealer Synergy. He has 15+ years of automotive sales experience and has made it his mission to help, educate and level up anyone he comes in contact with. LA once started as a frontline analyst for the organization, but quickly worked his way through the ranks to most recently landing him his current role of Vice President and an official company partner. Although LA holds an executive position with Dealer Synergy, he is completely “hands-on” with the Dealer Synergy family of programs. LA is the preeminent subject master on “Phone Sales” in the Automotive Sales Industry and has earned the nickname and title of “The Blind Phone Master”. LA has been blind for 35+ years and has focused his energy on the art of sound, tone, and inflection. With his inability to see and only hear, he can solely judge a person's phone abilities and verbal tools based on what they say and how they say it. This makes him the perfect coach and phone sales expert on planet Earth. LA has trained thousands of Automotive Sales professionals, Internet / BDC professionals, Sales Managers, General Managers and Dealer Principals on how to dominate the phones with his “The Blind Phone Master's Phone Sales Mastery” strategies.

LA has taken his music producer, audio, and voice talent to bring a strong form of “entertrainment” to the industry and has blessed us with many motivating and fun remix tracks, applicable to the automotive sales industry.     Exploring the Future of Automotive Business Development Centers: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Engage Automotive Success with Global Collaboration Understanding the potential of global call centers for automotive dealerships, optimizing skills across borders, and leveraging technology for enhanced business development are key factors in driving dealership profits. Dive into insights shared by LA Williams from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, as he explores these dynamics live from Belize. Key Takeaways: Leveraging global call centers can significantly enhance dealership efficiency while reducing costs. Developing advanced communication skills and empathy is crucial for success in sales. Utilizing technology like Zoom transforms remote selling into a profound customer experience. The Economic Edge of Global Call Centers In the realm of automotive sales, maximizing efficiency while minimizing costs is the golden ticket to success. During the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, LA Williams, known as the Blind Phone Master, emphasized the cost-efficiency of operating global call centers, particularly in regions like Belize. He states, "When you think about it, the cost-effectiveness… to be real with you, like in California alone, I think the minimum wage is like $20 an hour… it's no longer productive to run a call center.” This essential strategy allows dealerships to harness top-tier talent at a fraction of the cost. Williams' discussion reflects a broader trend in leveraging international call centers to accommodate fluctuating economic landscapes, offering dealerships a way to stay competitive without compromising service quality. This strategy ensures that even smaller dealerships can compete on a larger scale, effectively leveling the playing field and turning the focus onto the quality of service provided rather than where it originates. Furthermore, the transcript reveals a nuanced understanding of the benefits of these call centers: “So we actually walking into the call center right now… When we got all these people making phone calls, it's going to allow you to be much more profitable.” This statement encapsulates how simply relocating a function can have profound business advantages, facilitating higher profits through reduced operational costs. Cultivating Communication and Empathy in Sales Beyond economics, success hinges on communication and empathy. Williams highlights the importance of having a team adept in these soft skills. Within the podcast, Williams reflects on his Belize-based team's aptitude: "People are just making phone calls… our team here, man, they stay in focus… they also pay so much attention in training." These insights underscore the need for a workforce that is both dedicated and well-trained in communication strategies. In sales, empathy and understanding are paramount, especially in overcoming objections or handling disgruntled customers. Here's how Williams advises on such encounters: "We teach them to be compassionate. We do role plays with them to walk them through those scenarios.” This training in empathy not only improves customer interaction but also builds a stronger connection with potential buyers who may otherwise feel dismissed or undervalued by traditional, automation-heavy methods. Such strategies illustrate the impact of prioritizing customer relations. By integrating empathy as a core selling principle, global call centers can match, or even exceed, the effectiveness of in-house sales staff. This shift allows any dealership, no matter its location, to provide premium customer service. Transforming the Sales Experience through Technology The advancements in technology have dramatically shifted how business is conducted, especially in the automotive industry. Williams touches on numerous ways technology, particularly platforms like Zoom, can elevate customer interactions. He shines light on this by saying, "A salesperson wanted to sell a car to someone… the customer could be anywhere. It doesn't matter. Geography is no longer a challenge." Breakout rooms in Zoom are one example of how technology can simulate traditional car-buying experiences virtually. This allows for a comprehensive customer journey, from viewing vehicle features to virtual test drives, all from the comfort of one's home. As Williams further elaborates: "We'll show some 3Ds, some good old camera footage… Make a person feel like they're actually in the vehicle." Such approaches not only broaden the potential customer base but also enrich the overall buying experience, diminishing geographical and temporal constraints. Utilizing these tools, dealerships can offer an enriched and personalized customer interaction, effectively adapting to the digital age. Adopting these technological enhancements represents more than just staying current; it indicates a forward-thinking, customer-centric mindset that is necessary for thriving in today's competitive market.   The intricacies of running a global operation from a strategic call center – as expounded upon in the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast – outline a new era for the automotive industry. By merging economic efficiency, interpersonal skills, and cutting-edge technology, dealerships are equipped to transcend traditional boundaries and deliver exceptional service worldwide. Every facet of this approach, from cost-effective practices to empathetic customer service, ultimately benefits dealerships by not only extending their reach but also deepening their impact. As described within this thought leadership, dealerships that embrace these strategies can redefine success and elevate their standing in the automotive market.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

We … The post Cutting Costs in Federal Agencies appeared first on Bob Harden Show.

Kia ora,Welcome to Friday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news cost cutting and raising prices are key themes in US business at present - sure to challenge the Fed's policy path.First in the US, there was an outsized jump in the number of people making initial jobless claims, +310,000 for the week. That pushed up the number of people on these benefits to 1.94 mln. Employers now seem emboldened to cut staff before the holiday season with the incoming Administration likely to be very permissive on employment policies.US producer prices also came in higher than expected, rising in November from October, and from year-ago levels, but more than expected, up from +2.6% year-on-year in October (which was also the November expectation) to +3.0%. Inflation isn't beat.Canadian building consents were expected to fall back in October from the big September jump - and they did, although not by as much as expected.Key data from India came in pretty much as expected. Their November consumer inflation rate was 5.5% and a small reduction, and their October industrial production rose +3.5%, also a slowing. Food prices are rising much more than the overall level, but they are responsible for the most of the decline in the November rate.China's vehicle sales jumped by almost +12% to 3.3 million units in November from a year ago, accelerating sharply from a +7% rise in October. Beijing incentives seem to be working as intended, although they might be at the cost of spending in other sectors.China intends to ramp up economic support next year including measures to boost domestic consumption, as it braces for a fresh trade war with the U.S., a closely watched leadership meeting signaled on Thursday.At their annual Central Economic Work Conference, which sets the tone for the coming year's agenda, China's leaders pledged to "implement more proactive macro policies" and "expand domestic demand". Their statement listed supporting consumption and investment as top priorities for the economy next year. It is bracing for a fresh trade war with the US, and starting the adjustment now.As expected, the ECB cut its policy rates by -25 bps overnight, the fourth time this year, on a more favourable inflation outlook - their disinflation "is well on track".Meanwhile the Swiss central bank cut their policy rate by double that - by 50 bps - in an unexpectedly large cut. This marks the fourth straight rate reduction and the steepest since January 2015, bringing borrowing costs to their lowest since November 2022, returning them to just 0.5%.In Australia, their employment rose by +35,600 in November from October, up +334,500 in a year. That is a +2.1% annual rise. Monthly, full-time employment rose +52,600 while part-time employment fell -17,000. These gains were enough to push their jobless rate down from 4.1% to 3.9%, and unexpected improvement. (New Zealand's jobless rate was 4.8% in September.) For some, this is a good-news-is-bad-news item because it probably pushes back an RBA rate cut even further. The ASX200 fell on the news.Meanwhile, Australia's population rose +2.1% in the year to June, adding +552,000 and taking the total to 27.2 mln. Victoria, Queensland and Western Australia all rose faster than the national average. Victoria grew the most, up +165,000 to just shy of 7 mln. NSW was next, growing +143,000 to 8.5 mln. Bulk cargo freight rates fell another -5% last week from the prior week. And container freight rates were largely unchanged last week. Meanwhile, air cargo volumes grew almost +10% in October from the same month a year ago. International airfreight rose more than +10%, with Asia/Pacific volumes up more than +13%.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.31%, uup +7 bps from this time yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$2681/oz and down -US$33 from yesterday.Oil prices are down -50 USc to just on US$69.50/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is up +50 USc to now just under US$73/bbl. Following OPEC, the IEA is warning of a potential supply overhang in 2025 as demand remains modest and energy efficiency rises.The Kiwi dollar starts today at just under 57.9 USc and down -10 bps from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we are down -30 bps at 90.6 AUc. Against the euro we are down -10 bps at 55.1 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just over 67.7 to be down another -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$101690 and up +1.1% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been high at +/- 1.4%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again on Monday.

Doing one would be hard, but both at the same time seems a mission impossible for a politician wanting to win a second term. Bernard asks her how the government will both keep its promises and engineer even bigger spending cuts in per capita terms than those delivered by Ruth Richardson in the early 1990s.
