What separates consultancies that tick along from those that thrive? According to this episode’s guest, it’s all about one thing: profit on purpose. In this episode, Nick sits down with Peter Czapp - Co-Founder of the Wow Company, The Consultancy Growth Network and the brains behind BenchPress, the consultancy benchmark report - to dig into the financial side of consulting that too many firms overlook.

We cover: ✅ Why only 37% of consultancies hit 50% gross margin, and how to make sure you're one of them ✅ The power of positioning and why niche isn’t a dirty word ✅ Pricing strategies that reflect value, not just time ✅ How to build a culture that embraces profitability without killing your vibe ✅ The reporting metrics that actually matter and the one predictive stat Peter swears by ✅ Why real growth starts with intentionality Whether you’re leading a consultancy, thinking about profitability, or just tired of vague advice and want practical tools, this one’s for you.
