Have you ever focused on something so intensely that your senses seem to shut off? Imagine being a jockey at the helm of a Belmont Stakes contender. Your horse is breathing hard, but you barely notice it. Your body is rocking in tune with the flow of the horses gait, but you hardly feel it. The resounding cheers of 120,000 screaming spectators are muffled at best, if not completely blotted out altogether. Your focus is on the white finish line, and making sure that your horses nose cuts over it before anyone elses. A new challenge approaches
a stately competitor has inched its way to your shoulder. Now you can see its whole head. The white line looms closer and larger. Can your horse hold out its lead to the finish? Both cross the line. The winner will have to be determined by photo finish. A difference of less than one centimeter separates you and the other guy from the $1 million prize. Did you win or lose by a nose?
Real life isnt always that exciting or dramatic, but real life mimics this win by a nose, lose by a nose competition all the time. Consider this. If youre firm is attempting to secure a sale and you lose, what do you lose? EVERTHING. If you win, you win several times over. First you win the order and you get to benefit from the time trying to secure the sale and then you win the added benefit of profits. Your competitors lose not only the sale, but they lose profits and opportunity costs associated with the efforts. Profits have to pay for the lost efforts used to secure the sale.
Lets say your firm generates 300 quotes a year and you win about one third or 100 projects a year. Closer evaluation might show you lost 14% due to late submissions, 17% due to plus or minus 1% of the asking price, and 11% due to not having a 24-hour hot line. Contemplate what your business would look like if you jumped from 100 orders a year to 146 orders just by fixing these small issues and winning by a nose. Perhaps the jump would go from $32 million to $47 million just by evaluating win-by-a-nose strategies. Our clients say they most likely would have to turn away business. Would you?
If we used the concept, win by a nose, lose by a nose to the military, then decisions and actions are much more evident. What happens if you lose by a nosea split second? You die. Business would be much more productive if the consequences were as severe.
The great thing about this strategy: you dont need to be 10 times better than your competition to win, do you? You just need to be a nose.
Minor adjustments can make the difference between having everything you want and watching other people have it instead. Sometimes being aware of just how close you really are makes a world of difference, too. Other times, doing the same thing, but changing the timing reaps big rewards.
A simple example is how you might pay off a business loan or a mortgage. Say you have $200,000 to pay off on a 30-year loan. You can make one lump payment each month, and in 30 years, youre done. Or, you can cut the amount in half and make two payments a month. In 22 years, youre free and clear. Tack on another $100 per month, and you might get out from under the loan in 18 years. Think of what twelve extra years of retirement savings or $80,000 can do to the quality of your life. In essence youve won by a nose with a simple planning strategy.
If youre in management, there are plenty of ways you can adjust and tweak what you do to win by a nose. You can make your own list of win-by-a-nose strategies. The possibilities are endless, really. Here are 4 things you should consider to get started:
1.Know your ultimate customer: What do your customers look like? Why are they buying? What buying patterns best suit their ways of business? We recently talked with a manager in a $25m hydraulics and fluid company. Years ago, they would sell to OEM manufacturers. Over the course of 20 years, the customer base changed. Some left the area, some relocated to other countries, others went out of business. Order sizes changed. The supplier had to shift its ultimate customer and now has a client base of smaller companies requiring smaller orders. It has had to adjust the way it manufactures and delivers product,canada goose coats, as well as the way it services customers. How about your firm? Do you need to provide more service techs in closer proximity to your buyers? Might you need better access to local engineer teams? Are you offering competitive enough financing options to buyers? And as always, do you offer a better product than the next competitor? What are you doing to win by a nose?
2.Know your competition. Who youre REALLY fighting against. Managers in retail often complain that theyre competing with WalMart or big box stores. Everybody competes against WalMart in some way, it seems. But with 6500 stores in 15 countries and servicing more than 150 million customers a week, is this really the most accurate description of your most threatening competitor? Do some homework, because in the race against WalMart, we doubt youre going to be winning or even losing by a nose.
3.Determine your order winners. Order winners are the distinguishing characteristics that enable you to win. Begin by looking at the things that put you in the running against reasonably defined competitors and see, point for point, what items you can improve upon to be able to win at least by a nose. Last February, our furnace went on the blink. We discovered the problem at 10:30 on a Friday night. The temperature outside hovered around zero. We called a business with offices less than a half a mile down the road. The sales person quoted a price, tacked on a late-night fee, then went on to explain what else we might be up against. When we inquired about a particular part, the culprit of the problem, we were quoted a three times the price we had found on-line during the call. Then we called a North-Syracuse based small business that advertised as a 24-hour service provider. The initial fee from company #2 seemed fair and they had no late-night fees. The reason-- We advertise 24 hour service so it means we are working anyway. The price for the broken part was within retail markup, 100%. And to top it off, they would weather a blustery snowstorm and be in our basement in less than an hour. It doesnt take a genius to figure out who won that job. Both firms received the call and one accepted a reasonable strategy for servicing customers and the other thought that because they were located in a higher-end suburb, they could charge additional fees.
4.Develop your brand. Oh, what an ambiguous statement! Let us be more specific. Gene Simmons, who masterminded the band, KISS, said that when he built KISS, his goal was NOT to build a bandbut to build a brand. KISS went on to be one of the most recognized rock bands in the world. PEOPLE PAY EXTRA FOR BRANDS. Brands give automatic credibility to your product or service and they can easily help you win by a nose when everything appears equal. People feel like they already know you and will often choose the name brand over the a no namer to play it safe. Your brand might be local, regional, state or province-wide, national, or even international. Think you dont have a brand? Think about your companys image. What are you known for besides the product or service you offer? Try naming others who play in your space and then characterize how you may win by a nose on paper. Then ask your customers and prospects the same question. Often those in a firm have a much different perception of their brand than of those that purchase from them.
If you can focus on and make strides in these four areas, you should be able to see some positive changes that you hadnt before. Maybe youll gain 4 major clients this year, or maybe youll top your best years sales figures. Focus on the finish line, always. Whatever the payoff, remember that you dont have to beat out the competitor by a mile
just a nose is all it takes.
