Profit by Design Consulting Founder Has Diagnosed 86,000 Businesses, and Pricing Failure Tops the List

The Associated Press distributed the milestone release marking that Jay Aldebert, founder of Profit by Design Consulting and Chief Growth Officer of International Services, Inc., had surpassed $1 billion in consulting revenue through his diagnostic work with more than 86,000 small and mid-sized businesses. The release names pricing failure as the number-one leak category Jay uncovers in the field. Ahead of labor drag, ahead of working capital drag, ahead of debt service drag. Owners typically leave money on the table not by charging too little, but by not knowing what their labor, materials, and overhead actually cost per unit, which means every quote goes out at a margin they cannot defend.

The AP News distribution seeded regional and national outlet republication of the same story, including Yahoo Finance, and served as the first mainstream national-wire acknowledgment of the Profit by Design methodology as a repeatable diagnostic system rather than a consulting brand.
