Malcolm Gladwell has been at the top of the NY Times bestseller list multiple times, most recently with his book Outliers: The Story of Success. In the book he studies patterns and behaviors of the ultra-successful (from Mozart to Bill Gates) and one of the most common denominators discovered is the amount of time that they put into their chosen endeavor. It turns out that there is a magic number that transforms one from “good” to “great”: 10,000. In repeated studies of these extremely successful individuals it can be traced back consistently to their having practiced their craft 10,000 hours, whether looking at professional athletes, composers, or software developers… 10,000 hours is the clear line that separates the very best from the rest of the field. So what, you are asking yourself. Profit Advisory Group, a national leader in cost reduction consulting, has well over 1,000,000 hours of experience on staff. In times where maintaining profits is increasingly difficult, should employees who have not worked extensively for your vendors, or even within the same industry, be assigned the mission critical job of securing best in class pricing, reviewing bills for accuracy or securing industry leading contractual terms and conditions, or should you entrust such important work to a firm with proven expertise in the field? Whether you want a full expense review, or have specific expense areas in mind (Telecom, Utilities, Shipping, Medical, Taxes or others) PAG can help. Work is available on a contingency basis or hourly (your choice) and savings can be in place before year end if you act now. Chances are that over the last 18-24 months you have been doing all you know to do to cut costs… if there is more there wouldn’t you want to know about it?
