ePORTS — Print on Demand: Advanced RETIRE ONE STILL-SELLER — the low point (chapter 8) The hardest, most valuable cut is the design that STILL SELLS but is a poor use of your scarcest resource. Not "it loses money" — it is OPPORTUNITY COST: the hours (or pounds) it ties up would earn far more on a proven winner. IS THIS A TRUE RETIRE-CANDIDATE? (all four, or no) 1 STILL SELLS — real, current orders (else it's just pruning) 2 BOTTOM on my BINDING constraint (£/hr if capacity binds; TOTAL loaded £ if cash/money binds) 3 A NAMED destination for the freed resource: a winner with a real bottleneck it relieves, OR deliberate capacity recovery 4 CLEAN exit — delist without stranding anyone; point its fans at a better product of mine THE MARGINAL TRADE (the honest decision, no per-hour-rate needed): GIVE UP (loaded £/qtr): £__________ FREE UP (hours/qtr + the mental load): __________ BEAT-IT BAR — sales of my winner that clear that £: __________ Plausible from the freed resource? __________ ⚠ Do NOT cut on emotion, and do NOT cut a merely REACH-LIMITED design (few sales because few see it — that needs traffic, ch6). Sunk cost is a trap: the hours already spent are gone; only the NEXT hour is yours to allocate. COMMIT + VERIFY: Where the freed resource GOES — a winner's named task, OR capacity I am deliberately taking back: ______________________________ Point its buyers to (a better product of mine): _______________ Hard delist date: __________ | serve open orders: __________ Review (~1 qtr on): winner's sales rose by the bar? __ hours actually reclaimed? __ — From Print on Demand: Advanced — the full method: eports.global/print-on-demand Every worksheet, free and kept current: eports.global/resources ePORTS — your ecom source. eports.global.
