Don’t know about you? Predictable costs are important in our business…
Granted, the predictable costs must be value for money. But knowing the outgoings of the business allows us to plan the activities and investment required to grow the business and be profitable.
Although we have a long-term strategic plan, at the start of each year we take a rain check to see exactly where we’re at and adjust things accordingly to get ourselves back on track.
You can call it annual rain check plan if you like. It includes operating costs, break-even figures, and sales targets, together with service agreement forecasts and a costed marketing activity plan.
If you don’t know how much it’s going to cost you to operate the business over the next 12 months, how can you plan the activities you need to do to cover these costs, let alone make a profit?
In our business, we choose and work with suppliers who help us break down our annual costs into predictable monthly fees, with no hidden extras and no strings attached.
