In this show, Lucas and Luna dissect how businesses like Netflix, Uber, Salesforce, and McKinsey actually make money — comparing CAC, LTV, churn rates, and contribution margins. Lucas brings journalistic rigor, cross-referencing financial filings and case studies; Luna challenges assumptions about scalability, pricing power, and customer lock-in. Each episode centers on a single model or a head-to-head comparison, avoiding fluff for concrete numbers. This is for listeners who want to understand why some subscription businesses fail while others thrive, why marketplace liquidity matters more than user count, or how SaaS companies balance growth against profitability. No founder hype, no generic advice — just the mechanics behind real companies. How do you choose the right model for a new venture? When should a marketplace pivot to managed services?

Lucas and Luna unpack how the British engineering giant moved from selling $25 million jet engines outright to charging airlines for every hour an engine is in the air, including maintenance, repairs, and data-driven predictive analytics. They trace the model's origins in the 1960s, its full rollout in the 1990s, and how it aligns incentives between manufacturer and airline. Specific numbers include the 13,000 engines currently under TotalCare contracts and the estimated $6 billion in annual aftermarket services revenue. The hosts contrast this with GE's comparable OnPoint program and discuss why servitization hasn't spread as fast to other industries. A concrete takeaway: when a company shifts from selling a product to selling an outcome, margins can triple and customer retention can become near-permanent. #RollsRoyce #PowerByTheHour #Servitization #BusinessModel #JetEngines #TotalCare #Aviation #Industrial #RecurringRevenue #Manufacturing #Airlines #GE #OnPoint #PredictiveMaintenance #Business #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"This episode of Business Models Explained dives into 'Power by the Hour' — the pioneering servitization model from Rolls-Royce that transformed aircraft e…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":555,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/business-models-explained-with-fexingo-subscription-marketplace-saas-and-service-companies-7871638/episodes/how-rolls-royce-sells-power-by-the-hour/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/business-models-explained-with-fexingo-subscription-marketplace-saas-and-service-companies-7871638/how-rolls-royce-sells-power-by-the-hour.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
