Maximizing profit in the propane industry takes finesse, using a scalpel not an axe to be successful.
You get the big pieces in place like personnel evaluation, safety procedures, competitor recon, trucks evaluated and delivery/routing. Don’t make too many drastic changes too fast. Overwhelming employees that are not onboard, is very costly.
Look for low hanging fruit — simple operational fixes, minor compliance gaps, margin opportunities, route inefficiencies, and other quick wins that build momentum. These early gains show progress without disrupting the organization.
keep tweaking the process. It’s like working with clay, doesn’t look like a vase when it starts as a block, but can turn out to be a work of art when manipulated by someone with extensive experience, with tweaks and finesse.
