We take on 5 Revenue Leakage Diagnostics a month

The deals you already paid for are the ones going cold.

Not the leads you have not generated yet. The quotes nobody chased, the deals nobody touched in six weeks, and the customers who quietly stopped ordering.

Twenty minutes, free. We tell you whether this is worth running on your business, and we tell you if it is not.

63+ companies. Every one was missing at least $116K that should have closed.
Read this before you book

Six things that are almost certainly true in your CRM right now.

Every one of these is what we find in most systems we open. See how many you recognise.

A lead came in on Tuesday. Someone replied Thursday.

Not because anyone is lazy. Because nothing routed it, nothing flagged it, and the rep was already deep in a live deal. By the time the reply goes out, the buyer has spoken to two other firms.

18 to 48 hours is the normal first response we measure
A quote went out three weeks ago. It got one follow-up.

The rep sent it, chased once, heard nothing, and moved on to the next thing. The deal is not lost. It is just sitting there with nobody assigned to it and no date attached.

A single follow-up on a quote is the most common failure we find
Most of your open pipeline has no next step on it.

Open the deals board and count how many have an actual scheduled activity. The number is usually a fraction of what leadership assumes. Everything else is aging on a report that nobody reads.

80%+ of open deals have no next activity scheduled
Everyone you lost last year is still sitting there, untouched.

Closed-lost gets marked closed-lost and that is the end of it. Budgets change. Champions move. The vendor they picked disappoints them. Nobody is there when it happens.

~90% of closed-lost are never contacted again
Customers stopped ordering and nobody noticed.

There is no trigger on the reorder window, so a customer who used to buy every quarter goes two quarters, then three, and it never surfaces as anything. It just shows up later as a soft revenue month.

10 to 30% of customers sit past their normal reorder window
Nobody actually owns any of this.

The CRM was bought, not designed. It has no operating rules underneath it, so what happens to a lead depends on which rep gets it and how busy they are that week. That is the root cause of the five above.

70%+ of teams have nobody following a defined routing process
What that adds up to

What the leak looks like at a $5M firm.

This is an illustration, not your number. But the shape of it is the same in almost every business we open, and the arithmetic is the same arithmetic we run on yours.

Illustrative: $5M professional services firm
Average deal $15,000. Close rate 20%. Roughly 120 inbound leads a year. No increase in lead volume assumed anywhere below.
340 dormant contactsWorked properly, 8% re-engage. One in five of those closes.
$75,000
61 deals stalled past 45 daysA structured chase recovers around 6% of them.
$60,000
30 hour average response timeCutting it under an hour lifts close rate by three points.
$54,000
90 quotes with one follow-up eachA second and third touch recovers around 4%.
$60,000
Revenue that should have closed, and did not
$249,000
None of that was lost to a competitor. It was lost to infrastructure. There was no routing, no follow-up rule, no trigger on the reorder window, so it sat there until it went cold. And because the system has not changed, the same figure runs again this year, and the year after.
What you get back

Every one of them was missing at least $116,000.

Across 63+ companies, every single one was leaving at least $116,000 of revenue on the table that should have closed, purely because of the wrong systems and processes. Often the number is far higher.

$116K+
the least we have found in any business we have opened, before any increase in lead volume
  • It is not a one-off recovery. Once the routing, follow-up and reorder triggers exist, they keep catching what used to slip. This becomes the new floor your business operates from, every quarter, not a single clawback.
  • It compounds with everything you do next. Improve your close rate, sharpen the offer, turn up lead generation, and all of it now runs through a system that converts and follows through. The gains land on top instead of leaking out the same holes.
  • $700,000+ at the high end. One client, one year, and still without meaningfully increasing their lead volume.
  • The smaller the business, the bigger the swing. The same infrastructure gaps cost a $3M firm and a $9M firm similar money in absolute terms, which makes the percentage far larger at the lower end.
The Diagnostic is what tells you your number. Not this example. Your records, your close rate, your deal size, your dormant list, ranked by what is worth going after first. You will know within seven days whether the figure is worth building against.
Seven days, $1,000

What you walk away with.

#1

Every place revenue is stuck, named and valued

Your response times, pipeline age, ownership and follow-up, read against what is actually in your systems. Then a ranked list of stalled opportunities with the reason each one is on it.

#2

Evidence you can check, not an opinion

Every number traces to a record you own and can open yourself, with the assumptions written down. You are welcome to argue with it. A figure that survives being questioned is worth more than a flattering one.

#3

The first moves, and a baseline to judge them by

The two or three fixes most likely to produce a result, in the order we would do them, plus an agreed baseline so you can check later whether anything actually changed. Yours whether you carry on with us or not.

Start to finish

How the seven days run.

Day 0

Access and context

Read access to the relevant systems, plus about ninety minutes with the people who know how the work actually runs. Your team is not pulling reports for us.

Days 1 to 4

Analysis

We work through leads, quotes, open deals, closed-lost and customer history. Every finding is traced back to records before it goes in the document.

Days 5 to 6

Modelling and ranking

Each gap gets a modelled recovery value using your close rate, your average deal size and your volume. Nothing assumes more leads or a better sales team.

Day 7

Review, together

We walk the findings line by line. You adjust any assumption that does not match how your business actually works, and the numbers update in front of you.

What it costs.

$1,000
One off. Seven to ten days from the point we have access.
  • The call is free. You decide on the Diagnostic afterwards, not during it.
  • We will tell you if it is not worth running. If there is not enough history in your systems for this to find anything, we say so instead of selling it to you.
  • The document is yours either way. Keep it and act on it with or without us. Nothing is attached to it.
  • Five a month. The people running the Diagnostics are the people doing the delivery work.
Before you book

Whether this is worth your time.

It tends to be worth it when

  • You are doing $3M or more a year
  • You have a sales team, roughly 15 to 60 people in the business
  • Nobody internally owns the CRM as their actual job
  • You have at least a year of history sitting in the system
  • You can name one person who would own the fixes afterwards

It tends not to be when

  • You are the only person selling
  • The system went live in the last few months
  • You want more leads rather than better handling of the ones you get
  • Nobody on the leadership team intends to enforce a change in how the team works

The questions we get on every call

Everything else worth knowing.

We already know what our problems are.

Most owners know one or two, and they are usually right about those. This earns its place on the third and fourth, and on the size of the first two, which is almost always larger than the estimate.

Our data is a mess. Is it even worth looking?

That is the normal starting condition. Messy records are not an obstacle to the Diagnostic, they are one of its findings, and usually an expensive one.

Can we push this a quarter or two?

You can. The quotes and closed-lost sitting there now just go further cold in the meantime, and the same gap runs for another ninety days.

We already have an agency or a consultant.

This looks at the process underneath the tools rather than the tools themselves, so it generally sits alongside whoever you are working with. If there is genuine overlap, we will tell you on the call rather than after you have paid.

I am not sure our business is ready.

Nine in ten of the systems we open were not ready for what the company had already bought. Readiness is the finding, not the entry requirement.

What is the call for, then?

To work out whether the Diagnostic will find enough in your business to be worth a thousand dollars. We ask how you sell, where things slow down, and whether there is enough history in your systems. You will do most of the talking. Twenty minutes.

What do you need from our team?

Read access to the relevant systems and roughly two hours from the people who know how the work actually runs. We do the analysis ourselves.

Will it give us a guaranteed number?

No. It identifies specific opportunities, each with a modelled value and the evidence behind it, ranked by what to pursue first. We will not attach a guaranteed recovery figure to work that depends on your customers and your team, and any firm that does is guessing with your money.

Twenty minutes

Find out which of the six is costing you most.

Enough for you to grade the bet. We will tell you on the call whether the Diagnostic is worth running on your business, and we will tell you plainly if it is not.
