SOME TESTIMONIALS
INDONESIA
Budi Santoso
Direktur Operasional, Distributor Spare Part Otomotif
“Selama 8 bulan omzet turun terus, kami sudah coba semua cara tapi tetap rugi. Pak Johanes cuma minta data Excel kami, tidak perlu tatap muka, tidak perlu nama perusahaan. Dalam 6 hari beliau sudah temukan masalahnya: ternyata 12 produk yang kami jual itu RUGI, tapi kami tidak tahu! Kami kira untung. Dan 3 supplier kami ternyata harganya kemahalan 22% dari pasaran. Setelah ikut roadmap beliau, dalam 45 hari kami hemat Rp 340 juta. Incredible! Padahal kami bayar dia cuma 5000 dolar. Luar biasa ROI-nya!”
Translation: 8 months of declining revenue, tried everything but still losing money. Johanes only needed our Excel data, no face-to-face meeting, no company name. In 6 days he found the problem: 12 products we sold were LOSING money, but we didn’t know! We thought they were profitable. And 3 suppliers were overcharging us 22% above market rate. After following his roadmap, in 45 days we saved Rp 340 million. Incredible! We only paid him 5,000 dollar. Amazing ROI!

“Bisnis saya seperti ada bocor di mana-mana tapi saya nggak ngerti di mana. Akuntan cuma kasih laporan, tapi nggak kasih solusi. Pak Johanes sistemnya beda – dia analisa 24 bulan data transaksi saya, terus dia kasih saya report 47 halaman dengan EXACT angka-angka di mana uang saya hilang. Ternyata biaya kurir saya 31% lebih mahal dari seharusnya, inventory saya menumpuk Rp 890 juta yang nggak laku, dan 6 customer besar ternyata mereka sering telat bayar 60-90 hari bikin cashflow saya amburadul. Sekarang sudah 2 bulan saya jalankan semua rekomendasinya, profit naik Rp 127 juta per bulan. Data nggak bohong!”
Translation: My business was leaking everywhere but I didn’t understand where. Accountant only gave reports, not solutions. Johanes’s system is different – he analyzed 24 months of my transaction data, then gave me a 47-page report with EXACT numbers showing where my money was disappearing. Turns out my courier costs were 31% higher than they should be, my inventory had Rp 890 million piling up unsold, and 6 big customers were paying late 60-90 days destroying my cash flow. Now after 2 months implementing all his recommendations, profit increased Rp 127 million per month. Data doesn’t lie!

วิชัย ปัญญาเลิศ (Wichai Panyalert)
กรรมการผู้จัดการ, ธุรกิจก่อสร้างและวัสดุก่อสร้าง
“ผมบริหารบริษัทมา 12 ปี ไม่เคยขาดทุนแบบนี้มาก่อน 6 เดือนติดต่อกันขาดทุน แต่งานก็เยอะ ขายก็ได้ แต่พอจ่ายค่าใช้จ่ายแล้วไม่เหลืออะไรเลย คุณ Johanes ไม่ต้องมาไทย ไม่ต้องเจอหน้า แค่ให้ส่งไฟล์ Excel รายงานข้อมูลทางการเงิน 7 วัน ซึ่งขณะนี้มีให้บริการทั้งภาษาไทยและภาษาอังกฤษ เปิดเผยทุกจุดที่มีการรั่วไหลของข้อมูล: ต้นทุนแรงงานสูงกว่ามาตรฐาน 18% เพราะมีคนเกินความจำเป็น, วัสดุเหลือใช้ไม่ได้บริหารจัดเก็บมูลค่า 4.7 ล้านเน่าเสียไป, ราคาขายบางโปรเจคต่ำกว่าทุนจริง นำแผนไปปฏิบัติ 60 วัน กำไรกลับมา 2.1 ล้านบาท/เดือน คุ้มค่ามากครับ”
Translation: I’ve managed this company for 12 years, never had losses like this. 6 months straight of losses. But we had lots of projects, sales were there, but after paying expenses nothing was left. Johanes didn’t need to come to Thailand, didn’t need to meet face-to-face, just sent Excel financial data files. In 7 days got a complete report in Thai and English language, showing every leak point: labor costs 18% above standard because we had excess people, unused materials worth 4.7 million baht spoiled due to poor storage management, some project prices below actual costs. Implemented the plan for 60 days, profit returned 2.1 million baht/month. Very worth it.
VIETNAM
Nguyễn Thị Hương
Giám đốc Điều hành, Nhà hàng & Dịch vụ Ăn uống
“Covid qua rồi nhưng doanh thu không phục hồi như mong đợi. Càng bán càng lỗ. Tôi thuê kế toán, thuê cả tư vấn trong nước nhưng họ chỉ nói chung chung ‘phải cắt giảm chi phí’ nhưng không nói CẮT Ở ĐÂU. Anh Johanes làm việc hoàn toàn remote, tôi gửi data 36 tháng, anh ấy phân tích từng món ăn, từng nguyên liệu, từng nhà cung cấp. Phát hiện: 23 món trong menu LỖ nhưng tôi không biết, giá nguyên liệu từ 3 nhà cung cấp cao hơn thị trường 15-28%, và 40% chi phí nhân sự là cho giờ nhàn rỗi không hiệu quả. Thực hiện đầy đủ khuyến nghị của anh ấy, sau 2 tháng lợi nhuận tăng 186 triệu VNĐ mỗi tháng. Tôi chỉ trả anh ta 5.000 đô la. ROI hơn 15 lần!”
Translation: Covid passed but revenue didn’t recover as expected. The more we sold, the more we lost. I hired accountants, even hired local consultants, but they only spoke generally ‘must cut costs’ but didn’t say CUT WHERE. Johanes worked completely remotely, I sent 36 months data, he analyzed each dish, each ingredient, each supplier. Discovery: 23 menu items were LOSING money but I didn’t know, ingredient prices from 3 suppliers were 15-28% above market, and 40% of personnel costs were for ineffective idle hours. Fully implemented his recommendations, after 2 months profit increased 186 million VND per month. I only paid him 5,000 dollar. ROI more than 15 times!
MALAYSIA
Rahman Abdullah
Managing Director, Manufacturing (Plastic Components)
“Our company was dying slowly. Every month losses getting bigger. Banks were pushing us, suppliers demanding COD, staff morale at rock bottom. I was desperate but couldn’t afford RM50k for Big 4 consultants to fly in and do 3-month study. Found Johanes online, he said just send Excel data, everything remote, report in 1 week. I was skeptical but desperate. He delivered exactly on time – 52-page report showing: we were underpricing 8 major products by 12-18%, our reject rate was 3x industry standard costing us RM70k monthly, and two ‘senior managers’ were actually doing nothing valuable. Implemented his roadmap, 90 days later we’re profitable again, RM340k improvement. He saved my company. Best RM18k I ever spent.”
PHILIPPINES
Maria Christina Reyes
President, Logistics & Distribution Services
“We were hemorrhaging cash but couldn’t figure out why. Revenues looked okay on paper, but bank account was going down every month. Johanes worked completely remotely – he’s not even in the Philippines, never met him, everything through email and data files. Within one week he pinpointed: our top 3 clients were actually UNPROFITABLE because delivery costs exceeded margins, we had ₱2.4M in receivables over 120 days that we never chased, and our fuel costs were 34% higher than industry benchmark due to poor route planning. His implementation playbook was so clear, even our team who struggled with English could follow it. 60 days later: ₱890k monthly profit improvement. We paid him ₱125k total. That’s 7x ROI in just 2 months!”
SINGAPORE
Kenneth Tan
Director, IT Services & Software Solutions
“As a data-driven person myself, I was frustrated that I couldn’t diagnose why our margins were compressing. Revenue was growing but profit wasn’t. Johanes’s approach impressed me – purely quantitative, no fluff, no need for meetings (I hate meetings). Sent him 3 years of financials, he returned surgical analysis: we were losing $15-22k per month on 4 clients with excessive support tickets, our AWS costs were 31% higher than optimal due to poor resource allocation, and we had $180k in annual subscriptions for tools with <20% utilization. Implemented his recommendations systematically over 8 weeks: $47k monthly bottom-line improvement. Paid him SGD$6,800. That’s nearly 7x return in the first quarter alone. Will use him again.”
CAMBODIA
Sopheap Chan
General Manager, Garment Factory
“Factory running 3 years, first 2 years profit good, last 8 months suddenly losing money. I check workers – same number. Check orders – actually more orders! But losing money. Very confusing. Mr. Johanes only need my Excel data, no need visit factory, no need translate Khmer (I sent English number). He find: material waste 14% higher than standard ($38k per month lost), electricity cost double because old machines use too much power, and 3 buyers paying 45-60 days late killing our cashflow so we borrow from bank, interest $4,200/month. Follow his plan 2 months, we save $73,000 per month now. I pay him only $5,000. Best investment!”
5 Core Principles That Guarantee Success
Data tells the truth — even messy data shows patterns
Reject “normal” — “what you always spent” ≠ optimal
Every dollar must earn its place — ROI rules all spending
Remote works better — systems beat distance every time
Numbers speak all languages — clarity over complex words
The secret isn’t just finding problems — it’s finding root causes, quantifying them exactly, and giving you step-by-step playbooks you can execute alone.

“I’ve Seen What Happens When Great Leaders Have No One to Call at 11PM Before a Board Meeting”
In 28 years of walking into boardrooms across Indonesia and ASEAN, I have seen brilliant leaders make catastrophic decisions — not because they were incompetent, but because they were isolated.
The paradox of leadership: the higher you rise, the fewer people will tell you the truth.
Your team tells you what you want to hear. Your competitors don’t tell you anything. Your board expects you to have the answers. And your family — God bless them — cannot understand the weight of what you carry.
I built these programs because I believe every great business leader deserves one person in their corner who has seen it all, fears no one’s title, and whose only loyalty is to the truth and to your results.
