Did I understand this wrong or does increasing the monthly price from 400 --> 420 not get you to 80%? 420*40 = 16.8k, 16.8k-4k = 12800 and then to find the % you do 12.8k/16.8k = 76.2%. So if we went with what he said above we would need to charge each client an extra 100 / month ==> 500*40 = 20K, 20K-4K = 16K, Then to finally get your margin 16k/20k = 80%. Just wanted to make sure I understoodd this correctly! Thank you so much for sharing this informations for free!

In the last example he gives, there are 2 ways of increasing Gross Margin Ratio from 75% to 80% 1- Increase the COGS-Cost of Goods Sold- Monthly cost of the program from $400 to $500. Wich is a 25% increase in price to the customer. or 2- Decrease the salary of the coaches from $4,000/mo to $3,200/mo. Of these 2 options, decreasing the salary of the existing coaches or hire new coaches at a lower salary might compromise the quality of the product, on the other hand, increasing the perceived value of the product and therefore justifying the 25% increase in price might be easier. Great stuff! I was thinking about pursuing an MBA but the experience of running a business in addition to studying these videos and implementing the knowledge will help me advance a lot more.

Alex, I love your content but your math is wrong at the very end. You would have to charge $1500 (instead of $1200) for the 3 months making it an extra 100/mo (not 20/ mo) to the customer. They would still see a 1% increase to their margin and a 4% increase to their NOI with adding 20/mo.

At c.4 mins, how did you get from 66%/12% to 80%/25%? While it's good to get people thinking about the levers they have to grow their business, not explaining relationship between gross to net or showing a real calculation demonstrates just how shallow your advice is. It basically boils down to increase the sale price or decrease costs to increase your margin so you have more profit left over to pay yourself. Also, while I'm here, the percentage increase from 15 to 20 is 33.33%

Good idea! Then he gets the $800 extra needed without dropping the coach's pay or having to raise the monthly fee to $500 per month to get 80% although if he did sell for $500 per month that 80% margin would equate to $16000 total rather than $400 per month at $12800 total, might be a hard sell though.

Raising $20 only makes it to 76% the only one that works is paying $3200 you would have to raise price by almost $150 per month per client to get to 80%. What were not doing is assuming that the trainer would quit if he got an $800 a month pay cut and the clients would quit if you raised it by $550. Would take years longer to raise that margin without losing more than half clients putting your revenue under

Hey Alex, good stuff man. Question- With this model, do you include costs for commissions for sales guys, and media buyers on % of profit-sharing setups as costs you back out from the 100%? Or is it just around the fulfillment part? Example: Lets say we have a $30k coaching package - When its sold, the sales guy gets 20% - So right there we're at 80% - Then we have media buyers who are on a % of profit pay plan... So that would bring it down more. Are you deducting those out of the 100% cost of the $30k program, or are you optimizing more around fulfillment specifically costing less? Thanks man!

Good explanation on margin although I would argue, using your example, that 66% ($40) gross margin with a 12% ($7.40) net margin would put your operating overhead (operating leverage) at nearly 55%. As an accountant (CPA) and owner operator of my current business, this number seems very high. We could lower operating leverage by selling more at the same price. ie each additional unit sold would only cost $20. Am I thinking of this wrong? Good video.

Some good principles, but once he said that the biggest businesses in the world are running a 99% gross profit margin, I realized something was off here. That's just patently false and gives the wrong impression to people. Does a $1,000 iphone only cost Apple $10? No.... Do you think Amazon is running 99% GPM? No......

What abaout a country, like ARGENTINA, where inflation is out of this world and there is NO WAY to calculate ANYTHING?, not even costs of products and services like electricity or internet for tomorrow, cause you dont know if they are gonna be at the same prize o duplicated next week or month. HOW??!! I always watch videos like this one, BUT in a country with a stable economy seams SO EASY..., but NOT A SINGLE ONE talks about INFLATION and how the F can we make a business that works here, form a SMALL independent business like the one I'm trying to scale. THANKS!! I love your mind!

pretty crazy to think charging people an extra $20 per month in that example makes such a big difference to yearly margins

There is something wrong if I understood what happened here. In minute 12:45 you said he needs to get the gross margin to $12.800 in order to hit an 80% Gross Margin. You would need to charge actually $20.000 for you clients ( $500/per month = $1.500 Package) and give the coach $4000/per Month in order to hit 80% Gross Margin. OR you could just keep charging the client the same amount ( $1200 Package - $400/month) but decrease the coaches salary by a $1000 - So from $4000 per month to $3000 per month in order to hit the 80% Gross Margin. I don't want to bother you with the math, but if you check it out then you will realize that I am right. For everybody reading this. Hormozi is the GOAT, he just probably forgot his calculator and to be fair ... I myself wouldn't be able to do this is in my head. Just trying to clarify for everyone. You shouldn't just listen, but actually listen, try to understand and execute. Thanks Alex for everything, eternally grateful for all of your content

I'd like to apply this to my brother's business and I'm running into a block. I'd love feedback if anyone has ideas. It's in construction so majority of the jobs are based on bids, usually lowest bidder wins. Usually a specific flooring type will go for $8-12/sqft but if we apply 80% margin to our material plus sundries and labor (CoGS) then we end up in the range of $25-35/sqft which seems unreasonable in a business where most work is bid based, and the work that isn't we'd still be charging 2-4 time the market. Any thoughts?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the marginal percentage increase @12:05 actually be 33 1/3%? Since the extra 5% should technically be divided by the 15%? Not trying to nit pick or anything, but I believe that would just further solidify his point. That's a huge increase!

This was completely useless…anyone who doesn’t understand gross profit from the very beginning yeah this may be helpful. Let me magically lower my costs because I magically have that super power in todays markets…or price my “thing” above everyone else’s “thing” and price myself out….going this direction he forgot magical number 3 option….pay your employees less….because that’s the game…

This doesn't take into account overall profit though, in absolute amount. For example, raising the price to get a better net margin may hurt sales enough that even though you are more profitable percentage wise, you are less profitable in total. Not saying that's always the case, actually most likely the opposite in most cases, but i'd rather make 15% of 1 million than 20% of 600k.

not really sure how I ended up watching this video but well presented. One note in the example at the end - it's actually even more than 25% increase it's a 33% increase because your original basis is only 15% so an addition 5 is 5/15 = 1/3

The math is simple but what no one seems to get is that you can't charge people $100 for a haircut and expect to have a business. Large businesses play this game. I mean really big companies. Smaller businesses can do this as well but a 80% margin is ridiculous if you have any kind of competition. One of the most basic concepts in economics is the idea of scarce resources. Whether it is labour/human capital, energy, material goods, land, etc, there is only so much to go around. People have a finite income. This notion that you can make these kind of margins on any kind of business is laughable. If you dint have a really innovative product, or bring exceptional value, or have some kind of significant advantage to what you are selling you are just another business owner that will struggle to survive. The stuff this guy is teaching is as simple as can be. Five plus five equals ten but that never put ten dollars in anyone's pocket. You can increase younyour margins all day long but if no one is going to buy your product or service for that price then what? Oh brother! Real wisdom is not in knowledge but in experience. Not that knowledge is unimportant but it will not make you rich or wise.
