The Profitability Leak:

Sales Are Ok - But The Money Isn't There

You Aren’t Alone.  Many Small Businesses Hit This Wall.

 

Despite steady sales, the money just isn’t there. Margins keep shrinking, cash feels tight, and every month it gets harder to make payroll, reinvest in your team, or take a draw as the owner.

You’re left asking the same question over and over:

Where did the money go?


The reason?

Most businesses experiencing the Profitability Leak simply don’t have the systems, rhythms, or ownership practices to manage profit with discipline. Decisions are made based based on gut reaction, rather than shared data and understanding.

Until those leaks are found and fixed, cash will always feel tight no matter how much you sell.

Informal systems and hard work used to work. But breaking through requires shining a light on where money is leaking, tightening the connection between sales, operations, and finance, and creating shared ownership for protecting margins at every level of the business

If this is you...

The Slow Leak…

The days when the select few are required to provide all the answers are being replaced by inviting the diverse many to conversations in ways that create natural ownership from the get-go. The ways of “getting buy-in and convincing others to act” are being replaced by “co-creating and unleashing action”. Incremental results are leaving people exhausted, frustrated, and disengaged. Transformational results bring teams and organizations to life!

Here’s what we often see:

  • Revenue goes up, but profit doesn’t follow.   
  • Costs keep rising, and you blame price instead of figuring out your efficiencies.
  • You need to hire more people, but can’t do it because it’s already hard to make payroll.
  • You are suddenly using debt or credit just to fund your basic operations.
  • You pull from Peter to pay Paul, and before you know it, your interest expense is crippling your ability to grow.
  • And…you don’t have the financial clarity to confidently course correct.

The Impact of Doing Nothing

> Owners draws shrink, or disappear entirely.

> Missed payments become routine, and you struggle to figure out where next weeks pay will come from.

> Hiring freezes or layoffs become imminent, and are about to kill morale.

> Financing costs increase, and it gets harder and harder to service your debt.

> And you bear the burden alone leading to even more sleepless nights.
