OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“There’s so much competition. And everyone has more money than us.”

BEATING THE COMPETITION
It’s not enough to be different. The world is too cluttered. You need to define a space where the only option is you. You need to find a playground where no one else is playing.

WE DELIVER:
a process to help you identify and dominate a unique market space.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:
“I know we should be managing cash but it seems like cash is managing me.”

CASH FLOW OPTIMIZATION

As we build, grow, or scale, it often feels like cash is managing us. How can we change this dynamic?

WE DELIVER:
a series of cash flow techniques that can optimize your cash in and cash out as part of a cash flow management process.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:
“I keep paying more for talent but I can’t get anyone to really perform.”

PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT

You have scarce resources. You need to make sure they all perform. But how?

WE DELIVER:
a performance management structure that integrates the people, process and metrics needed to drive performance.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“I know we need a real financial plan to run the business the right way.”

RAISING MONEY IS NOT THAT SIMPLE

Different language and customs. If you don’t know what to say and not to say to investors and how to manage the process, it’s hard to avoid floating through space.

WE DELIVER:
an integrated money raising process – investor deck, financials and training and tie them to your key differentiator.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“We’ve never set real goals or had a way to measure them.”

SETTING UP GOALS

Without goals for your company and the functions within it, it is hard to direct your time, money and team to what you are trying to achieve.

WE DELIVER:
goals for your company and each department or initiative.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“I know we need a real financial plan to run the business the right way.”

FINANCIAL PLAN TIED TO GOALS

Your financial plan is your map – and without it you get lost. Creating a financial plan is the key to aligning your scarce resources to the revenue and profits you want to achieve.

WE DELIVER:
three years’ financial projections for the company.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“I’m not sure what it means to be a CEO.”

BEING A CEO

You are a founder. But do you know what it means to be a CEO? What you should (and should not) do. We show you what it means to be a CEO.

WE DELIVER:
a set of CEO priorities to guide your focus and decision-making.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“Growth is great but we keep springing leaks that may take down the dam.”

SCALING

You are growing. And your company’s gaps are now exposed. You need to build the structure to grow. But what does that mean?

WE DELIVER:
the process and tools to create repeatable and scalable company functions.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“There’s so much only I can do. It all seems to revolve around me.”

the people, process and metrics it takes to deliver a team that doesn’t rely so much on the sun.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“I can’t set priorities when it all has to get done.”

SETTING PRIORITIES

We all have 100 hours of work and 10 hours of time. If you don’t set the right priorities and deliver on those, you will work and work. But will you succeed?

WE DELIVER:
a set of priorities and the processes to stick to them.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“Sales can’t consistently deliver our story in a way that compels customers.”

SALES EXCELLENCE

Buyers don’t want to hear from salespeople. And there is always a lower price. So how do you win? You have to make them see how risky it is to live without you and the knowledge you bring. And your team and process have to bring that to life.

WE DELIVER:
the messaging, process and tools that integrate your unique know-how and make you stand out with customers.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“I’ve hired and fired more marketing people and firms than I can count.”

MARKETING EXCELLENCE

We all use the same tools, so why will my marketing win? It starts with a real strategy and executing it so all parts of marketing – social, email, SEO, campaigns, content, public relations – bring that strategy to life.

WE DELIVER:
a plan and process to integrate your various marketing resources and tie them to your goals, playground and know-how.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“We’ve never had a strategy for revenue – we just chase what seems right.”

A TRUE REVENUE STRATEGY

You need a true revenue strategy that connects your playground to an integrated sales and marketing effort. Sell a product in one market and it is a hit. Sell it in another and it is a dud. Your strategy brings this all to life.

WE DELIVER:
a plan that aligns target customers, messaging, sales tools and process.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“It all seems like legal mumbo jumbo to me and I’m not sure the lawyers help.”

LEGAL STRATEGY

You must address the legal issues that matter – like protecting your intellectual property, engaging with staff, contracting and regulations – before you have a problem that slows you down.

WE DELIVER:
the legal framework, tools and processes needed to protect your company and drive growth.


OUR CLIENTS SAY:

“I know I am working hard, but am I working on the things that matter?”

TIME MANAGEMENT

It’s not about whether you are working hard. You must set priorities that matter and manage your time with discipline and process to ensure that the most important things get done and get done well.

WE DELIVER:
a set of time management techniques and principles that maximize your scarce time.
