Hi Abdel,

Just look for “profitability” in the case library search box. You will find several cases. 

As Ian mentioned, I suggest you work with peers or a coach to get the best of your casing practice with external feedback. Happy to keep talking about this in private, just send me a message.

Best,

Alberto

Hey Abdel,

I've actually got about a dozen cases with breakeven. Feel free to message for these - can send them over as part of coaching or case you in them.

Other than that, you can download casebooks and do ctrl + F for breakeven.

That said, it's not really that helpful just reading cases….

You need to get people to give you cases - that's WAY more effective when studying. Ask the people you're casing with to give you a breakeven case :)

Hi,

In addition to the suggestions given by other coaches, I would even suggest that you try to create some of these problems yourself. 

Many profitability cases will have enough information to create a breakeven approach/formula.

Of course, practicing by yourself is not the most effective all the time, so if you combine the above point with getting help from someone else, thats often the most effective → i.e. get someone to create these problems and give them to you.

All the best !

You should chose “profitability analysis” in the “Topic” filter.
