6 - From Profit to Pennies: Understanding the Cash Flow Conundrum with Cash is Clear's David Safeer

12/01/23 • 35 min

Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the Founder and CEO of Cash is Clear, David Safeer. David's professional journey began in the corporate world, where he worked for industry giants like Kodak and Morgan Stanley. It was here that he honed his skills in devising strategies to increase profits. However, after being laid off, David decided to shift his focus to small and medium-sized businesses. He realized that despite their profitability, many of these businesses were grappling with cash flow issues.

David's transition from corporate America to helping small businesses was not just a career change, but a passion project. He found immense satisfaction in helping struggling business owners turn their situations around and achieve financial stability and growth.

David emphasizes the importance of understanding cash flow and dispels the myth that selling more is always the solution to cash flow problems. He provides an example of how rapidly growing companies can face cash flow issues due to increasing costs and contract obligations.

David primarily works with businesses ranging from $1 million to $10 million in revenue. He identifies common symptoms of cash flow issues such as struggling to make payroll or rent payments, increasing debt without a plan, and experiencing declining profits. He also notes that rapidly growing sales can be challenging for cash flow if not properly managed. However, he adds that even businesses with flat sales can face cash flow problems if they are not planning for the future.

Your host, Matthew Pohl, talks with the Founding Member and Global Consultant of Silicon Valley Alliances, Kimberly Wiefling. Kimberly shared the intriguing story of how the Silicon Valley Alliance came to be. This group of individuals, who initially collaborated through an agent in Tokyo, decided to continue their partnership even after their agent disappeared. This led to the formation of the Silicon Valley Alliance, a group committed to transformational change.

Kimberly humorously noted that it sounds more impressive to hire the Silicon Valley Alliances than just Kimberly Wiefling. This statement reflects the reputation of Silicon Valley Alliances as a hub of innovation and prototypes, rather than a place of failures.

Kimberly's journey into consulting and advising businesses is nothing short of inspiring. She started her own consulting business while still working at Hewlett Packard in 1995, offering career coaching services to her colleagues who were being laid off. This eventually led her to transition to full-time consulting and pivot to her current focus.
