Growth strategy
Where your business can earn more.
We look at how your business runs today, find where it can earn more and work less, and give you a clear 60 to 90 day plan with a price on it.
What the plan covers
A plan you can act on Monday.
-
Money
Where the money is made.
Which jobs, items, locations and customers earn the most, so effort follows margin.
-
Hours
Where the hours go.
The work your team repeats every week, and what it takes to have it run itself.
-
Order
What to do first.
The few changes worth the most, in order, with what each costs and what it should return.
-
Price
A fixed scope and a price.
The next 60 to 90 days, planned and priced, so you decide with real numbers.
Inside the Assess
Two to four weeks, start to finish.
The business keeps running the whole time. Here is what happens, in order.
-
Day one
A short survey for your whole team
Ten minutes, anonymous: where their time goes, what they repeat and what they would fix first.
-
Week one
Short interviews, starting with you
Three to five conversations, recorded with permission, so nothing you say gets lost.
-
Weeks one to three
Your numbers, measured as they are today
A light look at the reports you trust and your slowest work. We write down today’s numbers before anything changes.
-
The last week
One hour, the whole picture
What we found, what each fix is worth, and the plan in order, each step with a price.
The Assess
Common questions.
Is the team survey anonymous?
Yes, by default. Everyone answers 15 to 20 questions about where their time goes, what they repeat, which tools they fight with and what they would fix first. You see the patterns, not who said what.
How much of my team’s time does it take?
A short survey for everyone, three to five short recorded interviews, and a sample week of your slowest work. The business keeps running while we look.
What do you need from us?
One person who can make decisions, your list of tools, a summary P&L and any reports you already trust.
Who sees the findings?
You do, first. A partner walks you through them in a one-hour session, and the report is yours.
How is the plan priced?
Every build in the plan carries a fixed price and a target return, so you can choose what to do first, second and third.
What if the plan says not to build?
Then you still have a plan you can use. The report is written so you could hand it to anyone, including another firm.
What you take home
A report you could hand to anyone.
The Assess ends in The Upside Report. It is yours to keep, and worth having even if you never hire us to build.
- Built from your own numbers, not industry averages
- Yours to keep, whatever you decide next
- Clear enough to hand to another firm
It starts with a free conversation.
