We will also look at whether the current methodology is going to serve you well in the future (Spoiler alert: It won’t)!
Session Outline
Just because something has been around for a while doesn’t mean that it’s the best thing. There is little argument that the biggest single expense to operate a heating oil business is the cost of delivering fuel. There is also little argument that if you could make fewer deliveries, you would be more profitable. There has always been talk about moving towards more efficient deliveries. Updating K’s, reviewing accounts, and the like – all to see whether you can move average delivery sizes up 10, 15 or even 20 gallons – without the risk of seeing increases in the number of runouts.

We can go on-line and find out what almost everything we own is worth from our house to our furniture. One exception is the value of our largest asset, our business.
The purpose of the presentation is to show various methods of how retail fuel companies are valued. Understanding that a stock gifting value has a different value than a fair market sale value can save family businesses hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes. The same is true for C-Corp to S-Corp conversions. In addition, a properly done cash flow valuation will give owners insights as to how to improve their businesses and create useful budgeting and measurement metrics to assist in process improvements.
Valuations are a key tool to better understanding a business and they can be used by marketers for several purposes including:
Jennifer LeClerc of Consumer Focus, delivered a webinar a few weeks ago, “Is your Website Working for you?” That webinar brought on a host of questions about SEO or Search Engine Optimization, thus the requst to have her do one on this important topic.

About her presentation
24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week and once it’s gone, you can’t get it back. You aren’t going to FIND the time to pursue your goals, you are going to MAKE the time to pursue them. Instead of asking yourself do you have enough time, ask how are you spending the time that you have? Time management is really life management, management of yourself. It is the ability to determine the sequence of events > what you do first, what you do second, and what you don’t do at all. Please join me as I take you through an abbreviated version of my Eat that Frog! Workshop based on the Brian Tracy book by the same name. I will teach you tips and techniques to increase your productivity and get more done in less time!
