We all know a P&L is incredibly important to the profit and loss of a business, the gains are incredible but the losses can be devastating without question. In this podcast of Season 2/ Episode 29 we discuss just that however we are not going to talk numbers (No Rob WTH are you talking about)?? you got me right and please follow along, I promise it will be worth it. The only way to have a #profitable business is to understand whats behind or underneath the hood or the surface. The real #P&L is whats behind or underneath the curtain so to speak. Your Customers and more importantly your clients buy from you for very specific reasons. They hold value in what makes you unique or at least unique to them. They have a mountain of opportunities everyday of companies working hard to steal them away from you, they want to build their own fence or moat around their house. People buy from you because they find value in you, your product or your service. They have a bond with you, a trust factor in how you perform for them. We go over example after example of what encompasses your #BusinessP&L and where the true value (Not just the numbers) are, but whats behind the framework of you!!
