Q&A with Aaron

I got into this business for a couple of reasons:

  1. I wanted a business that provided a residual stream of income and was performance-based. If I helped people, I would make money. If not, I wouldn’t. That seemed fair to me and was a pitch I could be proud of and get behind.
  2. I wanted a business that worked with all types of businesses. I didn’t like the idea of just being a restaurant, or just being a car dealership (nothing wrong with those of course). All types of businesses fascinated me though. I figured if I could work with a variety of businesses, and help them save money, that was a pretty solid way to make a living.

My favorite area of cost reduction, or aspect of cost reduction maybe, would just be seeing our experts produce results time and time again. Specifically, it would be when a client, who was convinced we could not help them, gets a lot of money added back to their bottom line.

As a business owner, and like many other owners I know, you come to not like surprises over the years. Almost every surprise as a business owner costs you money. Ours of course saves people money. So that’s a fun surprise to see get delivered.

I think for me the most rewarding part is just the fact that something I started 20+ years ago has created opportunities for others. Some of our people have had full careers at P3 (several over the 15-year mark), franchisees have gone from working in the corporate world to making a great living on their own, and we’ve saved clients millions of dollars (hundreds of millions technically). That is all very rewarding to see.
