Free 15-minute call. No pitch. Just a few questions to see if there’s money worth finding.
The same blind spots that restrict cash flow also cap your company’s value and optionality.
This work is for founder-led companies that want operational control and strategic options — whether you plan to sell in 2 years or never.
You’ve built something real. Revenue is coming in. The team is working. On paper, things look fine.
But something’s off.
You’re busier than ever — and the cash isn’t showing up the way it should.
Here’s what most founders don’t realize:
There’s money inside your business you’ve already earned — but haven’t collected.
It adds up. Quietly. Constantly.
15-20% of your profit is sitting there. You just can’t see it.
That’s not a guess. It’s what I find in almost every company I work with.
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Every founder I work with describes the same feeling — working harder, growing revenue, and wondering why the bank account doesn’t match the effort.
I work with founder-led companies to uncover hidden profit — and capture it.
Not by adding more marketing. Not by hiring more salespeople. Not by working harder.
By finding what’s already there — and showing you exactly where your business is bleeding margin.
Here’s what makes this different:
You’ve seen this before — someone looks at your P&L and finds some expenses to cut.
I look at your Contribution Margin by product line — and show you which parts of your business are building EBITDA and which are quietly destroying it.
It’s common for a ‘high revenue’ service to actually be a ‘low profit’ anchor preventing you from scaling.
You can’t fix what you can’t see. I make it visible.
Discovery & Analysis
Your time investment: 3-4 hours total. I do the heavy lifting.
Most companies discover six to seven figures sitting there uncollected.
When You Actually Find It
Business Breakthroughs International (Tony Robbins & Chet Holmes)
They were doing $6M. I found a 15.6% refund rate, 117,000 dormant leads, and 70% of incoming leads being wasted.
Total impact: $14 million per year. Company grew from $6M to $20M+.
Utility Pole Installation Company
They were almost going out of business. I looked at their numbers and found $11 million in uncollected receivables — some over 180 days old.
That’s not ‘hidden revenue.’ That’s cash they already earned sitting in a spreadsheet.
Wireless Software Company
I trained their sales team and focused them on right-fit clients. They went from $3.5M to $6M in year one.
That’s not ‘hidden revenue.’ That’s cash they already earned sitting in a spreadsheet.
Intuit
A $100M division was losing $10M per year. I coached the division head, identified the leaks, and helped implement changes.
A $17 million turnaround.
“Doug Brown found $14 million hiding in our business in one year. He didn’t just identify it — he helped us capture it. His ability to see what others miss is extraordinary.”
Business Breakthroughs International
“Doug added $10+ million in annual revenue to our company — most of it at 65% margins.”
Chet Holmes International
“Thank you for your hard work and dedication to helping me with my division. Your efforts and your team resulted in a $17 million savings for us here at Intuit — from a $10 million loss to a $7 million gain in less than 12 months.”
Intuit
“Doug’s efforts to our company over several years have exceeded $20 million. One year alone, he helped us generate $7 million in under 8 weeks.”

I don’t sell theory. I find money.
I look at your numbers, your team, your customer journey — and I show you exactly where the cash is hiding.
If it’s not there, I’ll tell you. If it is, I’ll show you how to get it.
Host of the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast — ranked in the top 2.5% globally.
Featuring founder-led companies and the strategies that actually drive growth.
A clear path from “Where’s the money hiding?” to “It’s in your bank.”
We talk for 15 minutes. I ask a few questions. If there’s likely money hiding in your business, I’ll tell you. If not, I’ll tell you that too.
No pitch. No pressure. Just an honest assessment.
If there’s something worth finding, I run a full diagnostic:
You’ll get a complete roadmap — where the money is, how much, and how to capture it.
If we move to implementation, the $7,500 is credited toward your engagement fee.
If you want help capturing the money, I stay for 12 months.
Two options:
Option A: $150,000 – $250,000 flat fee
Option B: $75,000 -$150,000 + 15% of measured EBITDA improvement
Either way, I’m in the trenches with you until the money is in your bank.
If you choose to implement it yourself
You have the blueprint.
If you choose to work with me
The $7,500 is credited toward your engagement fee.
Either way, you win.
Let’s Find It.
Every month you wait is another month of profit walking out the door.
I work with a small number of clients each year — typically 6-8. I don’t scale. I go deep.
If you’re a founder-led company doing $5M or more, and you want to know what’s hiding in your business, let’s talk.
Prefer to reach out directly?
I’m selective about who I work with. I look for founders who are committed, coachable, and ready to take action. If that’s you, we’ll get along great.
I work with a small number of clients each year. If you’re interested, don’t wait — availability fills quickly.
