Financials

Marika Ponton: I live it. It is so crucial. When I was a flooring business owner, so many of the other franchisees would come to me because, I was profitable and I was having all these sales. And they’re like, well, what do you do? You know what, tell me how to be like you. Well, I mean, no one can be Marika, but what I can tell you is:  how do your financials look?

Dig into your financials. I’m happy to look at them. And I did. And I would just glaringly see things. Hey, why are you spending on this when you know, your sales are down 50% from last month? Ooh, good point. So that’s number one.

And number two, I would say is just same things we’ve been talking about right here is take stock of non critical tasks that you’re doing. Take stock. Write it down. What are things that you are doing that you shouldn’t be doing and aren’t the best use of your time and outsource those. And that’s Office Angels is there to help you with that.

Listen to Marika’s full ProfitSense interview with Bill McDermott interview here. 


The “One Minute Interview” series is produced by John Ray and the North Fulton studio of Business RadioX® in Alpharetta. You can find the full archive of shows by following this link.

Renasant Bank has humble roots, starting in 1904 as a $100,000 bank in a Lee County, Mississippi, bakery. Since then, Renasant has grown to become one of the Southeast’s strongest financial institutions with over $13 billion in assets and more than 190 banking, lending, wealth management and financial services offices in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. All of Renasant’s success stems from each of their banker’s commitment to investing in their communities as a way of better understanding the people they serve. At Renasant Bank, they understand you because they work and live alongside you every day.
