What You Can Expect

Since we’re a process-oriented consultancy, we always begin with your objectives. Once we have clarity about your objectives, we’ll then partner with you to assess and identify your obstacles and opportunities. Next, we’ll work with you to develop strategies and tactics to overcome those challenges and achieve your objectives. And finally, we’ll stay with you to help implement the changes you need to make in order to achieve your original objectives–all at a professional, enjoyable and remarkable level.

What Kinds of Results Can You Expect?

1. You can expect to see significant revenue growth. We always seek to create double-digit growth gains in revenue.

2. You can expect to see your profitability increase. The old adage, “If we just create enough revenue, there ought to be some profit in here somewhere,” is in many cases, a lie. Therefore, you can expect that we’ll work with you to make sure that you have a widening margin between your revenues and expenses.

3. You can expect to see your organization grow. If there’s anything we’re committed to, it’s the growth of organizations. Therefore, you can expect to be leading a larger organization with even more impact and reach than you currently have.

4. You can expect to grow your business skills and knowledge. And as you grow in them, you can expect that you’ll begin to feel more confident and competent as a businessperson—and your ability to handle the challenges ahead.

5. You can expect to raise your leadership and managerial abilities. Since no company can consistently perform at a level higher than its senior leader, you can expect that you’ll be leading and managing at a level higher as a result of your interaction with us.

6. You can expect to get re-energized and excited about your company. Gone will be the feelings of exhaustion, burnout and aloneness. Instead, they’ll be replaced with a renewed sense of energy, passion and commitment for the work that you do.

7. You can expect to feel prepared for the next stage of growth. Rather than feeling unprepared, you can expect that you’ll feel a greater sense of confidence as you gain new insights, information, skills and behaviors which will allow you to get through your next stage of growth.

8. You can expect a significant return on investment. Since, we’re a value based consultancy we always more than pay for ourselves. Our commitment to you is that we’ll never be a cost, just an investment. Moreover, you’ll get to reap the benefits of that proposition for years to come.


What Makes Our Approach Different

Besides being a one stop shop for strategy and growth consulting for SMB executives, we think there are five key differentiators for how we work with our clients.

1. Our approach is always process-oriented, not solution-oriented. In other words, we don’t walk into any company or organization with a fixed solution. Since every company is different; we listen, probe, ask questions, do research and work with you and your team to create a customized solution that fits your situation.

2. Our approach is always client-centered, not consultant-centered. Our experience has shown us that if you and your team aren’t involved in creating the solution, the solution won’t be implemented. We also know that if the process isn’t fun and intellectually stimulating, your people will check out. And finally, we know that if you don’t like us relationally, it’s all over.

3. Our approach is always results-focused, not activity-focused. The one thing you should always know about working with us is that we have a laser-like focus on results. You don’t want to hire someone who just takes up your time (and charges you for it). You want someone who will help you achieve your objectives (period).

4. Our approach is always value-based, not time-based. While you can read more about why we think that value-based consulting is a better approach than time-based consulting, by clicking here, the short answer is that you end up with a fixed price investment, which you know up front–that’s in line with the value of our help, not a variable cost with an unknown and ever-increasing cost.

5. Our approach is always holistic, not singular. In other words, we operate from a systems approach. We don’t think you can make a change to one part of a system without affecting the rest. So, for example, to focus on a marketing-only approach to growth, without thinking about execution management or leadership or strategy or money management etc. is just plain short-sighted. In fact, we believe that there are five key strategies necessary to grow and sustain the growth of any business or organization (as reflected in the following images).
