Closed fewer deals. Doubled annual revenue.

Fewer clients, better positioning, and higher-value engagements produced stronger growth.

The problem

The firm accepted nearly every type of client engagement. Manufacturing, retail, logistics, healthcare everything was treated as an opportunity.

The pipeline stayed full, but projects lacked consistency and profitability.

The real bottleneck

The issue wasn’t lead generation. It was positioning.

The firm had become impossible to categorize, making referrals weak and sales conversations overly complicated.

Not a pipeline problem. A specialization problem.

"When everyone is a potential client, nobody feels like the ideal client."

What we changed

  • Narrowed positioning to supply-chain optimization for enterprise retail brands
  • Removed custom proposal structures
  • Introduced a standardized advisory framework
  • Increased minimum engagement size from $30K to $90K
  • Shifted outbound messaging toward operational efficiency outcomes

The outcome

Revenue increased from $1.8M to $5.2M over eleven months. Close rates improved dramatically while the team handled fewer total projects.

Daniel now spends more time on strategy than sales.
