Identify hidden profit

Most companies are sitting on untapped profit.

It's buried in your customers, your operations, and your product mix. The Accelerator reveals where it's hiding and gives your team a proven playbook to capture it.

Your best customers subsidize your worst.

A minority of your accounts and SKUs generate nearly all the profit — the rest quietly drain it. You just can't see it in the P&L yet.

Complexity is eating your margin.

Every extra SKU, account, and process adds cost and friction. More effort, less leverage — growth that doesn't reach the bottom line.

Your team is busy, not focused.

Resources are spread across everything instead of concentrated on the vital few that actually create enterprise value.

Our methodology

A 4-Step Proven Process to Unlock Sustainable EBITDA Growth.

The 80/20 method that has driven $3B+ in shareholder value. Each step earns the right to the next.

STEP 01

Segment

Find the hidden profit in your data — by customer, product, and channel. See where the money actually is.

STEP 02

Simplify

STEP 03

Zero-Up

Rebuild the P&L around your most valuable core — a Zero-Up view of where resources should really go.

STEP 04

Grow

Expand the Fort and win with precision — concentrate resources on the vital few and scale profitably.

The journey

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Profitable Growth Accelerator?

An execution-support program that identifies your path to rapid profit growth. It follows a 4-step process — Segment, Simplify, Zero-Up, Grow — that typically surfaces 200–500 basis points of EBITDA improvement in 100 days. Built for CEOs, Presidents, and Founders who want results, not theory.

Who is it designed for?

Mid-sized manufacturers, distributors, and service firms with revenue from roughly $1M to $1B+. Ideal for CEOs, Presidents, Founders, and PE-backed executives who need to move EBITDA fast. The 80/20 principles scale from $1M to $5B+.

Is it online or in person?

Delivered online via Zoom, Slack, and The 80/20 Institute platform, guided by your coach. Optional in-person workshops can be added for kickoff, simplification, or pricing sessions.

How much time does it take from my team?

On average 2–4 hours per week for your core leadership team — prep, data review, and training. The CEO, CFO/COO, and functional leaders in sales, ops, and finance should be involved.

What results can I expect in 100 days?

Clients typically see a path to 200–500 bps of EBITDA improvement (~30% profit growth). The fastest wins come from pricing and product mix; the structural wins from simplification and reallocation.

Do you offer a guarantee?

Yes. Commit to the process and execute with your coach, and we guarantee you'll be satisfied — or we keep working with you until you are. It's a strategic partnership, not a one-and-done course. We don't do refunds; we do results.
