It Seems Like The Squeeze Has Been On Forever
Every time gas prices spike, it’s the service station owner who gets an earful about it. But somehow it never seems to be the gas station owner who ends up with much of the money—even when gas was hitting (and passing) $4 a gallon, there were plenty of stories about gas stations closing because the aggravation just wasn’t worth it. The squeeze is on, all right—the distributor makes sure it gets its cut, and if the price of gas gets too high, customers start going somewhere else (or they park the car whenever possible and start going to fewer places altogether).
So owning or operating a gas station means living on the margins, and in an economic slump the margin is an even shakier place to be than usual. In a world where you don’t get to pick and choose the brand of gas you sell, how do you stand out from the gasoline station across the street? How do you differentiate yourself? The answer is simple: Peer Benchmarking Review Groups.
What’s A Peer Benchmarking Review Group?
It’s a proven way to harness the power of ideas! We gather people who know your business inside and out—people like you, entrepreneurs from different markets who own and operate service stations. We add a seasoned, veteran entrepreneur who knows his way around the automobile business. Throw all the ideas everybody brings to the table into the mix; run them through a “Big and Easy Analysis,” and separate those that will work from those that won’t. Bring them all together into a plan that you can take home and put to work, a plan complete with benchmarks so you can track your progress. That, in a nutshell, is a Peer Benchmarking Review Group and what it can do for you—it’s a recipe for success!
