Thirty minutes on the numbers you do not trust
No pitch and no jargon. By the end of the call you will know why your figures disagree, what that is costing you, and whether fixing it is worth the money.
Nothing to prepare. "I do not know" is a fine answer to any of it.
What we cover
This is not a sales call. It is a working session to find out whether the work makes commercial sense for you at all.
Which numbers you cannot trust
Not "we need better reporting", but the specific figure that gets argued about. Output, margin, delivery performance, stock. Usually there is one that started it.
What that costs you today
Days lost at month end, decisions delayed while people reconcile, or work quoted on a margin figure that turned out to be wrong. We put a rough number on it.
What good would look like
Defined in things you already measure. Month end in an afternoon, delivery performance you can quote in a customer meeting, margin you would stake a quote on.
Whether it is worth doing
If the numbers do not stack up, we say so on the call. We would rather turn work down than build something that never pays for itself.
What to bring
You need nothing at all to book. But if you have any of this to hand, the thirty minutes will work a lot harder for you.
The report that started this
Whichever one gets argued about. You do not need to send it over, just be able to describe what it says and who disputes it.
Roughly which systems you run
The ERP, the finance package, whatever is on the shop floor. Names are enough. "There is also a spreadsheet" is a very common and very useful answer.
How month end works now
Who does it, how long it takes, and how much of it is manual. This is usually where the clearest saving is hiding.
A question you cannot answer
Something you have wanted to know and could not get at. Which products actually make money is the one we hear most.
One priority for the next year
Win bigger jobs, cut waste, get the month closed faster, stop depending on one person. One honest priority beats a list of ten.
Whoever signs things off
If someone else approves spending, having them on the call saves you relaying it second hand and saves everyone a second meeting.
What you get out of it
Thirty minutes, a straight conversation, and something useful to take away whether or not we ever work together.
A read on why your figures disagree
Often we can name the likely cause on the call itself, because the same handful of causes come up again and again.
A rough figure for what it is worth
Based on your own numbers rather than ours. Enough to decide whether it is worth taking any further.
An honest answer either way
No follow up sequence, no chasing, no pressure. If the work is not justified, we say so and you have lost half an hour.
Pick a time that suits you
