Hiring profit consultants

Question
Do I need to hire a consultant to help me improve profits? 
Answer
Before hiring a profit specialist, first answer these questions. Have you:

- Conducted some MBWA (management by walking around) and eliminated as much waste as possible?

- Asked your employees for their ideas to improve profits?

- Maximized your sales volume?

- Maximized gross profit margins?

If you answered yes, and you're still not profitable, it might be time to bring in a profit specialist.
