THE PROBLEM

THE PROBLEM

Busy,
but not profitable enough.

Busy,
but not profitable enough.

You’re generating revenue, but your business still feels tight every month. That gap isn't bad luck, it's a small number of fixable problems hiding in your operations (missed bookings, customers chasing updates, manual task overload for your team).

01

Quotes go cold.

No follow-up system means revenue you've already paid to generate sitting unconverted.

02

Friction is killing conversions.

Every extra step between a customer saying yes and money landing in your account is a place they can drop out.

03

Existing customers could be worth 3x more.

No aftermarket strategy means your most profitable revenue, from people who already trust you, never gets made.

01

Pricing & True Cost-to-Serve

Fixing your pricing and quote structure improves conversion rates and strengthens overall profit margins by ensuring every job is accurately and consistently priced.

Typical recovery: £15k–£40k/yr

02

Unconverted Quotes

Tightening your unconverted quotes process improves win rates by ensuring follow-up is structured so more of your existing pipeline turns into paid work.

Typical recovery: £10k–£30k/yr

03

Booking-to-Bank Flow

Tightening your booking flow reduces drop-offs between enquiry and confirmed work by making it easier for customers to commit without friction.

Typical recovery: £8k–£50K/yr

04

Team Utilisation

Increasing utilisation drives more revenue from the same capacity by ensuring available time and resources are consistently filled with billable work.

Typical recovery: £10k–£30k/yr

05

Aftermarket & Repeat Revenue

Building aftermarket and repeat revenue increases customer lifetime value by turning one-off jobs into repeat or ongoing revenue streams.

Typical recovery: £10k–£35k/yr

06

Overhead & Supplier Waste

Reducing overhead and supplier waste improves profitability by removing unnecessary spend across tools, subscriptions, and suppliers that no longer add value.

Typical recovery: £3k–£15k/yr

In 4 weeks, we lay the foundation: we find every leak, fix the biggest one with your team, and leave a clear plan for the rest to compound over the coming months. If you want support embedding the changes, there’s an optional 90-day follow-on where we stay close to the numbers with you.

WEEK ONE

Snapshot & Kickoff

We run a focused Profit Leak Snapshot using your data to size the gap in pounds. If there isn’t a meaningful recovery opportunity, we’ll say so.

WEEK TWO

Design the Fixes

We turn the Snapshot into a detailed map of your profit leaks, go deep on what’s driving them, and prioritise the biggest fix that will recover the most, the fastest.

WEEK THREE

Fix With Your Team

We implement the highest‑impact fix directly with you and your team, and map out the rest so they can be tackled over the following months.

WEEK FOUR

Lock It In

We document everything implemented and project the monthly profit impact based on your own numbers, so you have a clear before vs after picture and know exactly what to expect.

Profit recovered

Estimated monthly profit recovered based on the operational fixes, measured against your pre‑sprint baseline.

Operational fixes

The biggest issue resolved with your team. Built in, not handed back.

Improved Cash Flow

More money moving through your business, faster and more predictably.

Exit value uplift

Every pound recovered is worth 2-4x on exit. E.g., £50k recovered = £150k more on exit at 3x.

Risk‑free structure: If we don’t recover more than our fee in annual profit, you don’t pay. Simple.

RESULTS

RESULTS

What this looks like in practice.

What this looks like in practice.

What this looks like in practice.

SPECIALIST CARE

Wig restoration & aftercare

Bookings were manual, payment was chased via email, and pricing hadn't been built around true cost-to-serve. Growth was limited by operational friction, not lack of demand. Sprint fixes: upfront payment capture via no-code booking system, value-based repricing separating core and add-on services, supplier review reducing operating costs by 25%, and automated follow-up post-service.

RESULT

Immediate uplift in customer bookings, growing from 5 to 70 per month over 12 months, with pricing and cost‑to‑serve aligned so each booking is actually profitable.

HOME SERVICES

Plumbing & heating service

Quotes were going out with no follow-up system and annual service plans were never offered to the 340-strong existing customer base. Sprint fixes: automated quote follow-up recovering 22% of previously cold leads and a boiler service plan introduced to existing customers generating immediate recurring revenue.

RESULT

22% of previously cold quotes recovered through a simple, automated follow‑up system, plus a new aftermarket revenue channel by upselling a boiler service plan to existing customers.
