High Impact ACE Team Leader

-Are you a manufacturer struggling with meeting delivery promises consistently?

-Do you rely on overtime to catch up when falling behind?

Is missed revenue a recurring issue?

Do you often find yourself altering production plans to prioritize quicker, lower-priority orders to make up for revenue shortfalls?

(Keep reading)

I've been in your shoes, facing these challenges at various companies.

In the past, we would use a mix of overtime and "pull-ins" of lower-priority orders to meet delivery and revenue goals.

However, this approach often led to late deliveries for some customers, early deliveries for others, and supply chain disruptions due to shortened lead times for replacement parts.

Here's the good news:

You can meet both customer and shareholder expectations without constantly modifying production plans, ensuring continuous, sustainable high-level results.

If you're a manufacturer who is…

❌ Frustrated with missing delivery commitments to customers and revenue promises to shareholders.

❌ Exhausted by asking employees to work endless overtime, burning them out in pursuit of sales and revenue targets.

❌ Seeking a more predictable and reliable way to run your production lines that consistently satisfies customers and shareholders.

Then I have a solution that will end your woes once and for all.

Helping Businesses, Clinics, Hospitals & Agencies Unlock Growth & Savings

I’m Adam Torkildson—an entrepreneur and operator who builds practical solutions that reduce costs, increase revenue, and free leaders to focus on what matters most. My companies specialize in helping small businesses, medical clinics, hospitals, and marketing agencies run leaner, smarter, and more profitably.

🔹 Smarter Healthcare & Benefits
Through Bridge Solutions, we help employers cut healthcare premiums by 30–60% while maintaining access to Fortune 100-level provider networks. Using Section 125 strategies and advanced healthcare cost reduction models, we turn fixed expenses into tax-advantaged, cash-flow-friendly solutions for businesses with 15+ employees.
👉 Case: A 500-employee company cut premiums 42%, saving $1.5M annually with no employee disruption.

🔹 Revenue Cycle Management for Clinics & Hospitals
With Physician Success Partners (PSP), we go far beyond billing—we optimize the full revenue cycle management (RCM) process to capture 20–30% more revenue, improve medical billing efficiency, and reduce claim denials without adding staff burden.
👉 Case: A regional hospital recovered $4.2M in 12 months that would have been lost to underpayments.

🔹 SEO Authority & Growth for Agencies
Through Tork Media, I’ve built one of the largest privately owned SEO & digital publishing networks, with 230+ instant-publishing sites. For marketing agencies, this means faster client visibility, stronger search rankings, and accelerated growth.
👉 Case: A Utah agency placed 50+ authority articles in 30 days, boosting SEO and winning $250K in new contracts.

🔹 Practical Tools That Scale
Beyond healthcare and media, my portfolio includes Pulse4Pulse health monitoring technology and other practical business consulting solutions designed to improve efficiency, visibility, and profitability across industries.

🔹 Aligned Incentives
My consulting model is simple: I earn 30% of the increased revenue or verified savings we deliver. If results don’t happen, you don’t pay. Every engagement is designed around measurable outcomes—not reports.

🔹 Who We Serve

Hospitals & Clinics needing stronger RCM, billing, and revenue capture.

Small & Mid-Sized Businesses seeking measurable healthcare savings.

Executives & Owners who want strategies that create real financial impact.
