We Look Under the Hood—So You Can Drive with Confidence
At LINX Consulting, we don’t operate on assumptions. We start with a thorough diagnostic that helps us—and you—understand exactly what’s working, what’s broken, and what’s missing. Every engagement begins by examining the core systems, structures, and strategies of your business to identify the root causes of inefficiency, underperformance, and stress.
We’ve worked with more than 2,000 businesses over 25 years, and no matter the industry, the patterns are consistent: what feels like chaos is almost always the result of unclear strategy, weak systems, poor visibility, or misaligned teams. Our job is to find it, name it, and fix it.
What We Examine
We divide our analysis into five core categories:
- Financial records, reports, and KPIs
- Cash flow patterns and forecasting
- Cost structure and expense controls
- Pricing strategy and profitability by product/service
- Strategic tax planning and asset protection
- Credit policies and A/R procedures
- Estate and succession considerations (when relevant)
If you don’t understand your numbers, you can’t understand your business.
- Document flow and administrative procedures
- Production layout, scheduling, and throughput
- Inventory turns, procurement, and cost control
- Receiving, shipping, and warehousing
- Job costing and estimating
- Waste, theft, and fraud vulnerabilities
- Technology usage and system integration
Efficiency doesn’t happen by accident—it’s designed.
- Sales process, conversion rates, and accountability
- Lead generation strategy and execution
- Customer segmentation and targeting
- Pricing models and margin strategy
- Online marketing and website performance
- Reputation management and client retention
No sales engine, no business. We build systems that drive revenue reliably.
- Organizational structure and reporting clarity
- Ownership and management mindset
- Roles, responsibilities, and job descriptions
- Key employee incentives and performance plans
- Manuals, training systems, and onboarding
- Culture diagnostics and employee sentiment
- Cross-functional collaboration and communication gaps
People problems are often system problems. We fix both.
- Vision, goals, and strategic planning
- Business model viability and positioning
- Leadership team alignment
- Readiness for scale, sale, or succession
- Market threats, competition, and industry benchmarks
- Risk exposure and contingency planning
If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll waste everything trying to get there.
The Outcome: Clarity + Direction
After this deep-dive assessment, we provide:
- A clear report of findings
- A prioritized action plan
- The systems, controls, and incentives needed to execute
- A roadmap for sustainable improvement in performance, profit, and leadership
Whether you engage us through LINX to Performance, LINX to Leadership, or LINX Connect, this examination is always the starting point. Because no matter the issue—you can’t fix what you don’t fully understand.
Execution is the ability to mesh strategy with reality, align people with goals, and achieve the promised results.
