Results

Over the past two decades, the Cottingame Company has effected some startling transformations in underperforming companies. These are just a few examples of the results we've achieved.

In a convenience store group:
  • Earnings moved from an annualized loss rate of $1.3 million in the first fiscal year to consistent earnings of $2-2.5 million in the five years that extended through the balance of the 23-year relationship.
  • Turnover dropped from about 600% to 20% in an organization using largely part-time, unskilled workers.
  • Robbery losses dropped from about $15,000/month to ZERO.
  • Shrink dropped from around 4% of sales to one-quarter percent.
  • The major wholesale supplied aligned its method of operation and, as a result, gained enough additional customers to quadruple its total sales.

In a medical diagnostic laboratory:

  • Volume rose from $3 million to over $15 million over five years.
  • Net profits rose from around 7% of sales to 24%.
  • Output quality rose into the 98th percentile nationally.

In an electromechanical manufacturing company:

  • Sales doubled in less than one year.
  • Prototype costs decreased over 75%.
  • Labor costs as a percentage of sales dropped 60%.
  • Production costs dropped over 20%.
  • Internal rejection rates fell from over 50% to less than one percent.
  • On-time deliveries were achieved for the first time in over three years.
