Atom Engineering, a boutique electrical design firm, had built a solid reputation—but growth was slow, unpredictable, and reactive.

For nearly a decade, the company relied on referrals, repeat business, and Google searches to bring in clients. While it paid the bills, profits remained thin and inconsistent. The founder knew that if Atom wanted to scale, they needed clear direction, smarter operations, and a proactive approach to growth.

Scaling a business isn’t about working harder—it’s about working smarter.

We focused on three key areas to turn Atom into a high-performing, growth-ready firm:

Process Optimization

• Mapped and refined core operations—removing inefficiencies and standardizing execution

• Implemented tracking tools for services and fees—clarifying profitability

• Reduced complexity—ensuring the business could scale smoothly

Smart Growth Strategy

• Shifted from reactive to proactive business development

• Defined high-value service offerings, eliminating low-return work

• Balanced sales channels - driving more high-margin, scalable projects
  

• Strengthened key client relationships, becoming a trusted engineering partner

• Built turnkey solutions with adjacent businesses—expanding Atom’s market reach

• Leveraged partnerships for bigger projects and broader capabilities

This strategy transformed Atom Engineering — allowing them to grow without adding unnecessary costs or complexity.

• Revenue TRIPLED to $1.2M+ annually (Only 4% of new companies reach $1M)

• Operational costs reduced by 45%—more profit, less waste

• Repeat business grew from 5% to 30%—clients kept coming back

• Sales shifted to high-margin services, driving long-term profitability

• Turnkey solutions grew to 20% of project volume—unlocking new revenue streams
