Results That Matter: What Changes When You Implement the Truby Management System (TMS)

by | Sep 13, 2025 | About Truby Achievements, Courses and Lessons

Most leaders attempt to increase profits by selling more, cutting costs, operating leaner, and pushing harder. That treadmill scales stress—not results. The Truby Management System (TMS) installs a commonsense chain so profit becomes the byproduct of how you run the business: Leadership → Teams → Operational Excellence → Profit. Below are real outcomes, grouped by result type, so you can see what changes first—and what compounds next.

Why This Works

Chasing profit directly rarely yields lasting results. Equip leaders, align teams, and run work on a simple operating rhythm, and profit follows—predictably. That’s what we’ve refined for 40+ years, with 19,500+ leaders across 55+ industries. It’s practical, field-tested, and designed to stick.


Results by Outcome (with real numbers)

1) Profit Growth & Revenue Lift

When the system shifts from “push harder” to “work smarter,” margin and momentum show up together.

  • 3× sales, 2× profit—a distressed business reversed a planned sale after installing TMS basics (clear roles, weekly rhythm, clean handoffs).
  • Profit doubled in 1 month—sustained by replacing ad-hoc management with a repeatable cadence.
  • +30% sales, +10% profit in 12 months—gains came from clarity, ownership, and fewer rework loops.
  • EBIT up: $1.16M → $1.70M in one year—operational discipline widened margins without “heroics.”

Why this works: Leadership clarity plus clean processes increases throughput and reduces waste—so margin and momentum rise together.

2) Retention & Engagement (Turnover Down, Confidence Up)

Healthy teams stay—and perform.

  • Turnover 42% → 2% in 3 months (and it held) after leaders installed expectations, accountability, and a steady weekly operating rhythm.
  • Turnover at ½ the national average in 18 months with +40% employee satisfaction—stability raised quality and speed.

Why this works: Clear expectations and real ownership calm the team; good people stay, performance compounds.

3) Financial Efficiency (The Silent Profit Levers)

TMS tightens the “leaky places” most leaders overlook.

  • Audited: $1.5M in year one; $1.0M recurring annually—gains attributed to EBIT lift, retention savings, AR reduction, and efficiency.
  • Write-offs $70k → < $6k in one year—clear standards and clean handoffs stopped avoidable rework.

Why this works: Standard handoffs and accountability cut leakage, write-offs, and AR drag—profit rises even before top-line growth.

4) Operational Excellence (Schedule, Budget, Risk)

When work runs on rails, projects stop dragging profit down.

  • $55M project finished under budget, ahead of schedule, zero litigation—cross-team visibility and routine issue resolution replaced last-minute firefighting.
  • Rework and delays shrink—cycle times shorten, customer satisfaction rises, and backlog throughput increases.

Why this works: Visibility and a steady rhythm surface issues early, so schedules stay on track and budgets stop bleeding.

5) Leadership Leverage (Time Back to Work on the Business)

Your goals require leadership capacity, not leader overwork.

  • Leader oversight drops from 85–95% of time to <5% in most businesses—teams own the work; leaders focus on direction, design, and development.

Why this works: When the team runs the playbook, the leader stops babysitting and starts steering.

Who Uses TMS? (Short answer: Anyone with people and process)

We’ve implemented this work with small businesses, mid-market firms, and large organizations across 55+ industries—including healthcare, engineering, environmental services, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and professional services. The common denominator isn’t the industry; it’s the reality that people + process create value. Most of our new clients arrive by referral: a leader improves retention, another reduces write-offs, and another finishes under budget – they tell a peer.

What Ties All These Results Together?

  • Sequence beats slogans. You don’t “motivate profit.” You install leadership behaviors → team ownership → operational discipline → profit.
  • Tools, not theory. Short, practical lessons; clear role definitions; visible priorities; standard handoffs; a weekly operating rhythm.
  • Built to stick. Bite-sized training, downloadable tools, and a cadence leaders can run next week—not next quarter.
