Capture Hidden Operating Profit
Keep the profit you've already earned.
Capture up to 15% hidden operating profit without adding sales or headcount.
What This Means in Dollars
How much revenue do you need to replace hidden operating profit?
$50M Total Revenue
$5M Operating Profit (10% Margin)
$750K Hidden Profit (15% Uplift)
$7.5M Replacement Sales Required
Sales must increase by $7.5M to earn an additional $750K in operating profit at a 10% margin.
Put another way, $7.5M of your $50M revenue doesn't earn any profit.
Capturing hidden operating profit has the same impact as adding new sales—without additional expense or headcount.
