How we work
Why The Protein Group
Most firms in this space lean one of two ways: they either know protein markets but not broader retail and CPG economics, or they understand consumer products and margin management but lack deep protein fluency.
The Protein Group is built to bridge that gap with practical experience in protein sourcing, category management, RFP rigor, and cross-functional execution.
Phase 1: Diagnostic
A focused assessment of sourcing, specifications, margin drivers, process friction, and improvement opportunities, typically structured as a roughly 90-day engagement starting at $25,000 plus travel.
Phase 2: Advisory Retainer
Ongoing support to help prioritize, implement, and sustain the changes identified in the diagnostic, typically starting at $8,000 per month.
Who we serve
We work best with mid-market meat and protein companies, especially businesses in the $10M to $100M revenue range, with a sweet spot around $25M to $75M.
Typical buyers may include CEOs, COOs, and procurement or sourcing leaders who need outside horsepower without adding full-time overhead.

If you suspect value is being lost in sourcing, specifications, supplier management, or execution, start with a conversation focused on where margin can realistically be improved.
