While you make money in general as a company, you don’t necessarily know which projects, clients, or service lines are profitable and which are not. Our study finds that only 2 in 10 service companies track their whole unit economics on the sub-project level. If you don’t know where your profit center is, you can’t grow.
Too many companies believe that they are “yet another B2B lead generation agency” and they need to compete on price. It’s critical to pick the right customer segment, truly understand your buyer persona, and focus on business goals. Once you have it, you can move to ROI/Costs calculation to show your true differentiated value. Otherwise, you’re competing on price solely, and that’s not the best strategy in a long run.
We usually ask one question: “do you know billability and profit of your every project?”. If not, then this is a natural first step. If you don’t know how your revenue engine works, you simply can’t optimize it. Start identifying your profit areas, see which projects go belly up, where do you have underdelegation of tasks, and which employees add the most value. If you don’t know how to start, we’re happy to help.
Start using pricing strategies that align with the value they provide to clients instead of cost-based or competitive-based approach. We can help you show the real ROI of your services rather than simply charging an hourly rate. According to benchmarks, you can charge 28% more if you apply value-based pricing.
As a professional services firm, you need to allocate the resources to create a profit lever. If you underdelegate, you have too many seniors doing low-value work. If you overdelegate, the quality drops. We will analyze the projects and accounts together with you, to better allocate resources and boost margins.
According to the Hinge benchmark, 39% of professional services companies had some unprofitable projects and accounts. While you can’t reduce them to zero, it’s essential to limit them as much as possible. We have a solid experience of identifying the right areas of profitability increase, creating improvement plans, and, most importantly – implementing them with your whole team as a recurring process.
