136: How to Easily Understand Your Interior Design Business Finances

with Jack Tomkins

Joining me on the podcast today is Jack Tompkins of Pineapple Consulting Firm. Jack began his career in the insurance world where he focused on analytics, financials, and building relationships. Now, he works with business owners to turn their flat data into beautiful visual representations to make analyzing and understanding the data so much easier. This was a really fun conversation to have and it seriously inspired me with the possibilities. Listen in for ideas on how to turn that flat data into something more.

Topics Mentioned:

  • Data analysis 

  • Visual representation 

  • Power of numbers 

  • Dashboard 

Key Thoughts:

  • The truth of the matter is, we needed to know the numbers when the pandemic hit, but we needed to know the numbers well before then. Michele (04:12) 

  • The people, who knew their numbers, were able to quickly pivot their business and to make decisions, sound decisions. Michele (05:31) 

  • My little tagline for it is combining the art of the gut instinct and the science of data. Both are totally necessary. Jack (08:57) 

  • A pretty picture is great. But if you don't know what it's telling you, that's a whole other issue. Jack (23:48) 

  • We can then actually look at and analyze the data, which is where your solution comes in to help us take that data, pull it off the page, and create it in a visual, beautiful, branded way. Michele (52:11)
