Record turnover!
What a month… in the past four weeks our team have managed over £15,000 worth of sales. That puts our annual turnover at around the £200,000 mark. Considering we still do Kleeneze on a part time basis that is a superb achievement. With the foundations of Team Eclipse now in place I feel that we can aim for a target turnover of £40,000 per period by the end of 2007.
Looking at turnover gives us a great way to compare ourselves to other small businesses. A typical taxi firm, hairdressers, restaurant or shop would do roughly the turnover we are currently producing. However, they would also have staff, premises, business rates, health and safety issues etc. which gives us a major advantage. By the end of next year, Team Eclipse won’t be far off doing half a million per year, with no staff, no warehouse, no call center!
When you look at the business in that way, and see the bigger picture, it’s obvious that we really are in the right business, in the right place at the right time. Roll on 2007!
