Differentiating Top Line From Bottom Line

 

 

 

 

 

 

A senior director at Andex Consulting, Anssy Okoebor has decades of experience in international business development. Having worked with leading corporations like Ubuntu International and AT&T, Anssy Okoebor has demonstrated adeptness at growing both the top and bottom lines of an organization.

The top and bottom lines are two of the most commonly referred to as metrics in business. The top line is a company’s revenue or sales figure. It is usually the first line item on a company’s income statement. The bottom line is a company’s net income or net profit. It is usually the last line in an income statement and is calculated by deducting expenses such as operating and administrative costs, interest charges, and tax from revenue and then, adding non-operating income like investment income.

Different factors affect the top and bottom line. For the top line, growth can be ignited by getting more customers, lowering sales returns, or increasing prices. The actions necessary to achieve these include increasing production, improving conversion rates of sales efforts, entering new markets, growing product lines, and improving product quality.

To improve the bottom line, a company can either increase non-operating income or reduce expenses. To reduce expenses, a company can reduce wages, operate in less expensive areas, or take advantage of tax benefits.

The Wharton School – Teaching Business Since 1881

As the senior director of professional services at Andrex Consulting in Washington, DC, Anssy Okoebor ensures quality performance. Enhancing Anssy Okoebor’s expertise is his certificate in federal proposal management from the Wharton School of Business.

Established at the Universality of Pennsylvania in 1881 by steel magnate Joseph Wharton, the school now has over 5,000 students at all three levels of higher education. Some 200,000 certificates have been issued since 2015 from the institution, which boasts almost 100,000 alumni in 153 nations.

Graduates of the institution have gone on to great success. Of the first five degree-holders, one became an American ambassador and another served in the parliament of Japan. In addition, African American sociologist and leader W. E. B. DuBois was a Wharton fellow in 1896.

The school’s well-known master’s in business administration program began in 1921. This was followed by the Securities Industry Institute in 1953, which focused on education executives for the first time.

Wharton faculty have also had a major impact on society. Professor George Taylor helped arbitrate over 2,000 strikes, while Dr. Lawrence Klein received the Nobel Prize for developing tools to predict global economic events.

The 2010s saw Wharton build new ways to reach students, such as Wharton Online, which has served 100,000+ participants, and Business Powered Radio on the Sirius XM network.

Rotary Continues Worldwide Fight Against Polio

An experienced staffing services professional, Anssy Okoebor has served as the senior director of professional services at Andex Consulting in Washington, D.C., since 2016. Apart from his work, Anssy Okoebor is a longtime supporter of Rotary International, a leading organization dedicated to eradicating polio worldwide, among other charitable works.

In October 2019, Rotary International announced that wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3) has been officially listed as “eradicated,” which means that there is only one strain of the disease left that has the potential to impact children. To support continuing efforts fighting the virus, Rotary also announced that it will distribute $50 million in grants worldwide. This money will go toward monitoring at-risk populations and providing support resources for health care professionals in Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

Additionally, more than $10 million of the funds will be allocated for creating a stockpile of the mOPV2 vaccination, which guards against the disease in children. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing a 200 percent match, for a total of $150 million in overall resources.

Three of the Best CRM Software Solutions

Managing partner at Andex Consulting and experienced senior-level executive, Anssy Okoebor has worked in upper management positions at numerous companies during his long career. At Ubuntu International, Anssy Okoebor directed and oversaw all aspects of CRM software sales. At AT&T, he was responsible for the effective implementation of Salesforce CRM to manage and track customer transactions.

Customer relationship management (CRM) software is part of any successful modern salesforce and helps generate valuable data from interactions with customers. Here are three of the best options on the market.

1. HubSpot CRM is a great choice for smaller companies and has a free version. It’s not ideal for companies that need complex enterprise-level CRMs as it can get quite pricey to add features but it does a good job at centralizing a customer database.

2. Zoho CRM will appeal to a broad user base, from small to large organizations. They offer end-to-end customer lifecycle management and many features, such as Google integration, that make it easy to adopt and use.

3. Salesforce Sales Cloud Lightning has a multitude of features that will appeal to larger organizations. Their advanced lead generation and analytics can end up increasing the price significantly but it’s a price worth paying for many clients.
