“We’re busier than ever... but where’s the profit?”
A line I keep hearing from founders, directors, and teams lately.

It’s not a delivery problem.
It’s not a team problem.
It’s a commercial one.

Here’s what’s happening in a lot of growing businesses right now:

  • Sales are up, but average deal value is down

  • Client demands are growing, but scope control is looser

  • Teams are stretched, but pricing hasn’t moved in years

In the rush to grow, the commercial foundations often get left behind.
And suddenly, what felt like momentum starts to feel like strain.

We started OppEx Consulting for exactly this reason.
To help great businesses grow with control, not chaos.

💡 Smarter pricing.
💡 Stronger positioning.
💡 More confident negotiation.
💡 Commercial strategies that work in the real world, not just the boardroom.

If any of this sounds familiar, happy to share what we’re seeing work across our clients, and what might help you get ahead.

Just a proper conversation.
