Revenue tells you who buys the most
It doesn’t tell you if that customer is your most profitable after you factor in the cost to deliver results.
But once you account for:
● what it costs to deliver the work,
● additional support and account-management time,
● discounts,
● rework,
● shipping,
● commissions,
● slow payment,
● or other customer-specific costs
the economics can look completely different
That means your biggest customer is not automatically your best customer.
And in some cases, an account you consider valuable may actually be costing your business money without you realizing it.
In about 15 minutes, the Customer Profitability Finder helps you see:
WHICH CUSTOMERS TO PROTECT
The accounts that produce the best margins in your business that you should nurture, grow, and find more like them.
WHICH CUSTOMERS TO FIX
Accounts that are profitable, but closer to break-even than expected because of pricing, scope, labor, support, discounts, or other costs.
WHICH CUSTOMERS REQUIRE A DECISION
Accounts that may be losing money once the true cost of delivering and servicing them is included.
HOW IT WORKS
1. ENTER YOUR TOP CUSTOMERS
Start with 5–10 of your largest or most important accounts.
2. ADD A FEW BASIC NUMBERS
For each customer, enter:
● Revenue
● Direct delivery cost
● Service + support cost
● Other customer-specific costs
3. LET THE FINDER DO THE MATH
The tool automatically calculates:
Gross Margin
Cost to Serve
Profit After Cost to Serve
Customer Margin %
4. SEE WHERE TO LOOK FIRST
Each customer is categorized as:
🟢 PROTECT / GROW
🟡 FIX / INVESTIGATE
🔴 DECIDE
So instead of staring at a spreadsheet full of numbers, you know where your attention should go.
