Every company is leaking profit somewhere — and most founders have no idea where.
In this episode of the ExitEngine Podcast, hosts Jo Stapleton and John Canniffe sit down with Dianne Campbell, Founder of Your Productivity Pros, to uncover how operational inefficiencies quietly erode profit, scalability, and business value — and how documenting and optimizing your processes can transform your company’s performance.
Drawing on her experience with Fortune 50 companies and growing small businesses, Dianne reveals how disorganization, lack of delegation, and undocumented workflows destroy margins and valuation potential. She shares real-world case studies — including one where a contractor increased profit margins by 12% in just six weeks — and walks through practical steps to start capturing hidden value right now.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
• Why “growth” without process creates invisible profit leaks
• How to uncover inefficiencies that don’t show up on your P&L
• Simple ways to document and optimize workflows across your team
• How SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) add 1–2x to your valuation multiple
• Why delegation, documentation, and discipline drive scalability and exit readiness
If you’re a founder or business owner who feels stuck in the grind — constantly fixing problems instead of scaling your business — this conversation will show you how to replace chaos with clarity and start building a company that runs (and sells) without you.
