Think you’re “fully optimized”? Most companies leak profit through vendor overcharges, auto-renewals, and fee creep... without ever noticing. Let’s seal the leaks.

In this insightful episode, host Stacey Chillemi sits down with Kathryn Rowell, founder of Kathryn Rowell Consulting with 36+ years in finance & operations, on how she routinely recovers 10–20% of hidden profit, with zero upfront cost.

Her model is simple: she’s self-funded by the savings she finds.
Outcome A: You’re already optimized.
Outcome B: She documents savings, and you keep more cash.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to:

🔎 Spot profit leaks across telecom, SaaS, merchant fees, utilities, shipping, waste, insurance & more
❌ Kill “rate creep” and auto-renew traps with smarter contract language (benchmarks, CPI caps, surcharge audits)
💸 Find duplicate/invalid charges with 12-month spend mapping & line-item reconciles
📊 Negotiate from data, not hope, using competitive benchmarks & usage analysis
📝 Set a no-risk review (free upfront analysis; contingency paid from proven savings)

If this helped, follow the show and share it with a founder or CFO who hates wasting money. ✅
