Sustained Advantage provided a new Chief Operating Officer and Dr. Spencer became acting Chairman of the Board. Within two months three of the five existing companies had been closed - halting costly losses, and the two remaining were moving toward higher profit outcomes. Within eight months results changed from an annual loss of $220,000 on nine million in sales to a run rate of $900,000 gross profit on sales of over $12 million. Bi-weekly meetings with owners were guided by LoV models and specific business case discussions that are credited with this rapid change in outcomes.
