A RESPONSE TO ROBBY’S WORK PRESENTATION

Since Robby explained
what he does at work,
here’s what I do.

Hi Mom. I also have a job. Naturally, explaining it requires a strategic framework, several charts, and five slides.

Let’s align on the big picture

WHAT I DO AT WORK

STRATEGIC BRIEFING 01 OF 05

01 / EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

We help companies
make more money.

Our proprietary methodology has two components.

A

Increase revenue.

Make the top line go up.

B

Decrease costs.

Make the other line go down.

The space in between?
We call that profit.

EXHIBIT 1 The highly sophisticated profit model
Revenue goes up, costs go down, profit growsAn illustrative chart shows revenue rising from 100 to 230 and costs falling from 90 to 40. The widening gap is labeled profit.Revenue ↗Costs ↘PROFITBEFORE USAFTER US

You may already know this. But have you seen it in a deck?

02 / REVENUE DEEP DIVE

Have you considered
charging more?

One of the best ways to increase revenue is to raise your prices.
So, as a general rule, we recommend raising your prices.

SAME PRODUCT, BEFORE$100

A perfectly good price.

SAME PRODUCT, AFTER US$125

A strategically optimized price.

A little strategyTransformational strategy

Illustrative only. Assumes customers continue buying exactly as much. We put that assumption in small type.

Same thing. Bigger number. That’s the recommendation.

03 / COST DEEP DIVE

Don’t call it cutting jobs.
Call it right-sizing.

The right people. Doing the right work. At the right time.
Ideally, fewer of them.

BEFORE: THE WORKFORCE

9 people doing the work.

AFTER: THE RIGHT-SIZED WORKFORCE

3 people. A very inspiring email.

“We’re empowering a leaner team to unlock its full potential.”TRANSLATION: SAME WORK. FEWER PEOPLE.

The cost goes down. The remaining team’s calendar fills up.

04 / PROFIT DEEP DIVE

And where does
all that profit go?

Straight back to the executives, of course.
To reward them for making such excellent decisions.

More revenue

Customers pay more.

Lower costs

Fewer people do more.

Bigger bonuses

Leadership gets more.

“A tremendous team effort.” — The person receiving the bonus

The value has been created. And very specifically distributed.

05 / YOUR EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY

What can we
do for you?

REVENUE ↑
COSTS ↓
PROFIT ↑
MORE. MONEY.

Definitely a framework. Just happens to be a pyramid.

And, more importantly, your son.

Robby showed you his work. I made you an entire website.
