Chapter 1: What can businesses sell immediately to increase profits?
What's going on, everyone? Welcome back to the game. I have an audio first episode for you guys today. This has been something that's been kind of top of mind for me. But it's about some things that you can immediately sell to make a lot more money in the business. And I think this is something that's wildly underused.
And so I want to say a month ago, I had a business that came out to our headquarters. It's an advisory practice customer. And the gentleman had a very large business that had many automobile shops. And in talking to him more, it was a very razor-thin margin business as he was detailing it.
And one of the things that he had was a certain niche type of customer that had tremendous costs incurred for the amount of time that their trucks or cars were off the road, something to the tune of like $10,000 to $20,000 a day in lost income. And what was interesting is I said, okay, I'm guessing these guys are not price sensitive. And he was like, no.
And I said, well, do you price it differently for them? And he said, no. I said, but you have other customers or the vast majority of your customers that if it took a week to get their, you know, cars or trucks back, it wouldn't really make a difference to them. He said, right. It's like, okay. So what you're missing is basically a surge price or said differently, a speed pass.
And so what I want to talk about is a couple of different ways you can implement this in any business. And the, and what's really cool about this type of kind of offer or value consideration is that it's a hundred percent margin. So think about it. Like if you deliver anything, let's say you build decks for a living, it doesn't matter. And
you have your standard, let's say you have a 30% margin in the business after everything. Okay, fine. Great. If you build that in three months, cool. And maybe you can only take on a certain amount of projects. So you build them, let's say in sequence.
So you build, you know, customer A and then customer B and the customer C. Well, it makes basically no difference to cost for you if you do ABC or CAB, right? Like it wouldn't actually change anything for you. You're going to have the same number of people and you're going to deliver over the same time period.
But the thing is, is that customer C might be willing to pay two times more to get it done faster. And so for us as business owners, having the offer available for people to get what they want faster, I mean, and you think about this in the commerce world, like you can obviously always pay for faster shipping, it's almost like a, it's an obvious thing.
But for some reason, in the services, businesses, people don't do this. And I'm still always lost to why maybe it's because they don't think about it, which is why I'm making this podcast. But But for this individual, when I was talking about the auto shop thing, it just felt like such an obvious thing.

Chapter 2: How can businesses implement surge pricing effectively?
I think the last time, I think I took a, I looked at the data from four consecutive days and it was the average person in the room was 4.1 million. Median was 1.2 to give you an idea. So we do have big businesses in the room as well.
And so if you're a business owner and you like these types of kind of profit driving tactics, you know, this is a podcast, but if we do two days and we know what your business is, we can probably help you out a little more. I'm sure you can find it online, acquisition.com. Just click around. If you can't figure it out, then it's not for you. I hope you guys have an amazing day.
Share this with your friends. It's the only way that this podcast grows. And so thank you. Love you all and talk soon. Real quick, guys, I have a special, special gift for you for being loyal listeners of the podcast. Layla and I spent probably an entire quarter putting together our scaling roadmap. It's breaking scaling into 10 stages
and across all eight functions of the business so you've got marketing you've got sales you've got product you've got customer success you've got it you've got recruiting hr you've got finance and we show the problems that emerge at every level of scale and how to graduate to the next level it's all free and you can get it personalized to you so it's about 30-ish pages for each of the stages
Once you answer the questions, it will tell you exactly where you're at and what you need to do to grow. It's about 14 hours of stuff, but it's narrowed down so that you only have to watch the part that's relevant to you, which will probably be about 90 minutes. And so if that's at all interesting, you can go to acquisition.com forward slash roadmap, R-O-A-D map, roadmap.
