if you’re doing the same things• Need new metrics to manage
transfomationally

QUANTUM PROFIT MANAGEMENTthe new paradigm
RR
QPM: defined
• Quantum Profit Managemento “quantum” – from physics – the smallest
indivisible unit of mattero to manage by breaking the business down into
segments and bringing each to profitabilityo ensuring every segment has a profitable
service model o engage the whole organization in QPM process
RB
QPM Stages (Together)

• Sustain and Extend Premium Profitso engagement #s service #s profitso at every branch! (?)
• Adapt and Proact with Environmentowhale program complexity; supply-chain shifts; o side-step economies of scale; infinite bandwidth

QPM Principles
1. You're making more money than you know.2. Measure and evaluate at the quantum level.3. Manage on net profit.4. Manage the deltas.5. Financial averages mask what's really going on.6. Understand and manage service models.7. Identify and stop non-strategic cross-subsidies.8. Synchronize goals & incentives.
RR
Cost-to-Serve: defined
• Cost-to-Serve (CTS)o everything on the P&L between GP and Neto total cost to deliver goods & services to clientso GP – CTS = Net Profit (de-averaged)o need CTS on granular business (NO averages)

Make Money on Everything You Do
• Segment the business• Analyze closely using Net / PBIT• CTS must be less than GP• Have (different, appropriate & profitable )
Service Models for every segment
BR
Gross Margin (%) is a Poor Metric
RR (screen from WayPoint Analytics)
Gross Margin is a PoorMetric
• Net profit rarely correlates to GP%• GP% doesn’t account for CTS variance• GP incentives drive dysfunction:
o GP% mirageomanagement vs sales repsowork against your true objectiveso consume management time and energy
• Drive poor decision-making
RR
Manage on Net Profit
• Direct link to real profits• Direct link to positive cash flow• Pay down debt• Produces return for shareholders• Top management incentives• Synchronize sales incentives
o deltas are powerful tools for improvement• It’s all that matters

modelo transform big losers
• Use territory realignment to match reps and accounts for max performance & to protect best reps
