You're growing the business. Is the profit growing with it?
Revenue is the easy number to grow. Profit is the one that pays you. We find the profit already hiding in the business, fix what's leaking it, then grow from there. Every stage of growth should pay you more, not just keep you busier.
12 questions, free. You'll see which lever to fix first as soon as you finish.
Sound familiar?
That usually comes down to the order things are getting fixed in. And the order is fixable.
Small levers compound.
A 10% improvement in five separate areas adds up to a 61% improvement, because each one multiplies the others.
At a 15% net margin, cutting costs by 10% lifts profit by 57%.
At a 10% margin, every $1 you stop losing is $10 of revenue you don't have to go earn.
This isn't built on hope. It's built on math.
More leads into a leaky business just gives you a busier leak.
Profit leaks out in quiet places: pricing, offers, follow-up, costs. Pour more leads in and you run more money through the same holes.
So we work in this order: structure, then profit, then leads. Marketing works a lot better on a business that can hold what it brings in.

Results from PSS Growth Acceleration engagements. Every business is different, and your numbers are the only ones that count.
Everything we fix raises two numbers at once.
What the business pays you this year, and what it's worth the day you decide you're done.
This fits if
- You run a service business doing roughly $500K to $2M a year.
- You have somewhere between 3 and 25 people, and you're still in the middle of most decisions.
- Revenue has grown faster than what you take home.
- You'd rather fix the structure before you spend more on marketing.

Questions
Do my books need to be clean first?
No. I read the business, not the books. We work from the numbers you already have.
I already have an accountant, or a CFO.
Good. They tell you what happened. I help you decide what to do next, and I work alongside them.
Isn't this just marketing help?
Marketing comes last. Structure and profit come first, so the marketing has something solid to amplify.
What does it cost?
The scorecard is free, and so are our first 20 minutes together. Ways of working start at $497 a month.
