50% Cost Cut
The Starting Point
After 40 years in business, the owners felt something was off. Revenue looked fine, customers still came in, but the business felt harder to run than ever. They had no website, no online visibility, and no organized financial picture. Costs were rising, paperwork was scattered, and decisions were often made based on instinct instead of information. They knew something wasn’t working — they just didn’t know what yet.
Research and Discovery Plan
What We Found
Before building anything, we ran a quick but thorough check on what was holding the business back.
The Real Issue
They weren't struggling because of bad products — they were struggling because their costs were out of control and customers had no easy way to reach them.
They weren't losing money because of low demand
They were losing money because costs had quietly ballooned over 20 years.
No one could see the full picture
Financial documents were scattered across old folders, emails, and handwritten notes.
Decisions were being made blind
No trend analysis. No visibility. No way to spot problems early.
Customers couldn't find the business online
No website. No photos. No digital footprint.
The entire customer journey was offline
People had to call, leave a message, or physically visit the store.
There was no way to grow predictably
A business that relied 100% on word-of-mouth had no real control over its future.
In Short
The business wasn’t struggling from a lack of demand; it was struggling from a lack of insight and modern systems to support sustainable growth.
