Why Your Team Is Silently Killing Your Profit

Your revenue looks fine. Projects are getting delivered. Clients aren’t complaining. 

But when you check the numbers, the profit’s gone. 

It’s not pricing. It’s not pipeline. 

It’s your team performance. 

And if you don’t have the right systems in place - it’s silently killing your profit. 

Here’s why: 

— Hours Leak Without Boundaries — 

A team without clear rules will happily burn through project budgets. 

Not out of malice - but because no one set the bumpers. 

— Delivery Gets Inefficient — 

Every job feels like starting from scratch. 

No SOPs. No repeatable processes. 

Time gets wasted reinventing the wheel. 

— Accountability Disappears — 

When no one owns the numbers, no one protects them. 

Tasks drift. Margins shrink. 

— The Founder Becomes the Bottleneck — 

Without systems, every decision flows back to you. 

Which means growth stalls - and stress rises. 

The truth is simple: 

A poor-performing team isn’t a people problem. 

It’s a systems problem. 

I’ve seen consultancies lift margin from 5% to 25% just by putting bumpers in place: 

 - SOPs for repeatable tasks 

 - Weekly reporting dashboards 

 - Role clarity so everyone owns a number 

If you feel like your profit is leaking… it’s probably not your market. 

It’s your systems. 

And the good news? That’s an easy fix. 

It just requires effort.  

To your success, 

Josh
