Simplified Financials and Pricing Strategy Lead to Increased Profits and Bank Credit

profit is king for any business. there really is no reason why a business would not want to increase the profits. I think his value proposition is a pretty good one. Hi, my name is Robert Gilles Santos. I'm from Houston, Texas, and I own a Bounce House party room company that serves Houston, Austin, and Dallas. I met Ben from the EO Entrepreneurs Organization chapter. He offered help companies that were looking to improve their profitability. And he gave me a lot of one-on-one attention and was very helpful. When we first engaged Profit Doctor, ⁓ Profit was decent. However, when I talked to ⁓ Ben, he described how it could be way better. And I decided to give him a chance. ⁓ since joining this course, we've increased our profit tremendously. We've onboarded our team on our financials. And it's been a positive experience. When we joined Profit Doctor, we had a P &L that was like 60, 70 lines of data. One of the cool things about working with Ben is he has a simplified process where you can simplify your P &L. And it opened a lot of eyes with our team because they were actually looking at about five to 10 numbers that made a lot more sense in their minds. And they were working every month to improve those numbers and outcomes. I think within the first month we saw a big change. One the things we did was we looked at our pricing and we saw that there were some products that were underpriced. We worked with Profit Doctor over three quarters. We saw results immediately after the second month. overall it really helped our company increase ⁓ profit. Were able to just see that, you know, that some of our products ⁓ are have like a big value to our customers. You know, we were basically providing the entertainment for events. And so when you set up a bounce house that's, you know, the size of a house, people's eyes turned and ⁓ we thought that we had a product that was a commodity like a lot of companies have it. So when we thought how a price would affect our customers, we found that it was actually up to the customers. If they were booking late, they were willing to pay any price that they needed to do to secure entertainment for their party. So that was just something that we, when we picked pricing, we just kind of just chose random prices that we thought would work. And we were trying to improve profits, a profit doctor and Ben's team basically showed us that ⁓ you should be testing pricing and it can immediately impact your business. We kind of grew pretty rapidly. We kind of doubled and tripled our business before we met Profit Doctor. And that put us in a delicate situation where we didn't have the appropriate lines of credit for our company for our slow time. We're an outdoor party rental company. So what happened was since we were with Profit Doctor the first three quarters of 2025, we were able to go to our bank in October and show them our financials, which were in a very healthy situation. And they approved us for a much higher line of credit. I don't think that if I wasn't... with the Profit Doctor, we would have gotten that line of credit mostly because we weren't really paying attention to how our business looked like from an outside perspective. Working with our team who's looking at the numbers as well, they don't wanna do a bad job. So just kind of push everybody up. Thank you so much to Ben and Ginger. ⁓ They've been very helpful throughout our time with them. I'd recommend them to any business owner. Making me feel comfortable with our numbers, but also ⁓ introducing the numbers to our ⁓ growing team who's also interested in learning about how to properly understand the P &L. And so he's ⁓ very helpful, especially with the videos that are always accessible from his platform. So that's, that's really cool about ⁓ what Ben's doing with his Profit Doctor course.
