Consulting Services That Helped Clark Brothers
- Enhance operational efficiency
- Focus on gross margin and cost controls to increase profitability
- Repurpose underutilized space for merchandising opportunities
Steve Clark’s Experience Working With American Management Services:
I called American Management Services, Inc when I realized that after 65 years in business, we were in trouble and at risk of losing our entire business.
At that point, Brad and Richard showed me that over the last three and nine months, the firm has never even come close to its profit potential and that we had missed out on more than $1.6MM in profit.
I am happy with the improvements that we have implemented:
- Recruiting and hiring a new business manager, who is already making a significant contribution to our team and the operation
- Increased focus on operational and financial performance with a focus on gross margin and cost controls
- Repurposing the “Red Shed” is helping us to grow our sales by increasing our merchandising opportunities.
- Liquidating underutilized assets gave us the working capital needed to complete the transition.
Today we have tools to manage and forecast our cash position, our accounting and bookkeeping systems are providing us with the information we need to control our company and protect our gross margins, and employee morale has improved.
I expect that from the work described and the Actions For Profit that we implemented to produce operating profits of more than $1.9MM over the next three years, which far exceeds the project’s cost.
My expectation has been met efficiently and professionally, and we would be happy to recommend the services of your firm and your consulting team to any prospective client.
Sincerely,
- Steve Clark, President
