Growth Plans from $599
A complete strategy for your business, written by a strategist and delivered to your private dashboard in five days. Or 24 hours with Express.
- A 15 minute guided brief, so the plan starts from your business and not a template
- Who you are really competing with, and where the gap is
- A written plan plus a boardroom-style presentation
One fixed price, agreed up front. No retainer, no hourly billing.
The thinking a big company buys, at a price you can actually pay
You know your trade better than any consultant will. What you rarely get is the time to step back and work out where the money actually is. That is the part we do: one strategist, your numbers and your market, and a plan you can start on Monday.
Four steps, and you are busy for one of them
Most of this happens without you. You spend fifteen minutes telling us about the business; the rest is ours to do.
We work out the real question
Most owners arrive saying “I need more customers”. Often that is not the problem. Fifteen minutes on your business, your numbers and what is actually frustrating you, and we agree what is worth answering before anyone starts work.
We do the digging
Your market, your competitors, your pricing and your margins. Who is winning work you should be winning, what they charge, and where your money is quietly leaking. This is the week you do not have.
We work out what to actually do
Options tested against your business, not a textbook: what it costs, what it earns, what could go wrong, and whether you can do it with the staff and hours you have. Anything you cannot realistically pull off gets cut.
You get a plan with dates on it
Written in plain English, with your first 30, 60 and 90 days mapped, what to do first, and the traps to expect. Plus a presentation you could put in front of a bank or a business partner.
If you have said one of these out loud this year
Every one of these is a Growth Plan. You do not need to work out which category you are in: that is what the brief is for.
“We are flat out but not making more money”
Where the growth actually is, and which of it is worth chasing.
“We keep losing jobs and I do not know why”
Who you are really up against, what they charge, and where the gap is.
“I do not know if the marketing is working”
What to spend, where to spend it, and what to stop paying for.
“Everything takes longer than it should”
Where the time and the cost is going, and what to fix first.
“I have not put prices up in three years”
What to charge, how to package it, and how to raise it without losing people.
“Should we be worried about AI, or is it noise?”
What is actually coming for your trade, and what to ignore.
“The rules keep changing on us”
What the change actually means for your business, and what to do about it.
“Mine is not on this list”
Tell us the question. If we cannot help, we will say so before you pay.
Real problems. Measured results.
Three businesses about the size of yours. Clients are unnamed to protect commercial confidentiality; figures are illustrative of typical outcomes.
Busy every night, and the margin kept shrinking
Independent 90-cover restaurant: unnamed for client privacy
The problem
The same menu all year, three years of rising food costs, and mid-week discounting that was quietly eating the margin.
What we did
- Scored every dish against 14 months of till data: what sells, and what actually makes money
- Built a four-season menu with local sourcing to bring input costs down
- Rebuilt pricing and portions, and put the profitable dishes where people look first
- A launch playbook for staff: what to suggest, and when
Why it worked
The dishes losing money came off, the profitable ones got the best spots on the page, and changing it quarterly gave regulars a reason to come back. Bigger bills, same number of covers. It paid for itself in seven weeks.
Booked solid, and still could not grow
Owner-operated deck and patio builder: unnamed for client privacy
The problem
Fully booked but stuck. Leads whenever they happened to turn up, 30-plus hours a week writing quotes, winning barely one in five, and no way to put a second crew on without losing money.
What we did
- Worked out what a second crew actually costs, and the point at which it pays
- Rebuilt where the leads come from: local radius marketing, reviews and referrals
- Three quote tiers instead of one number, plus a finance option
- Quote templates and pricing rules that cut quoting time by 60%
Why it worked
Steady leads meant crews could be booked weeks ahead instead of week to week. Giving people a choice of three lifted both the win rate and the average job. The second crew started in month five and the margin held.
Loyal customers, all getting older
Independent bricks-and-mortar store: unnamed for client privacy
The problem
A regular customer base that was ageing out. Under-35s were 11% of takings, foot traffic was sliding, and there was no social presence to speak of.
What we did
- Worked out who the two customers worth chasing actually are
- A short video routine the staff run in two hours a week, plus a few local creators
- Relaunched SMS offers, and put on in-store nights and workshops
- Changed what is stocked and where it sits, so there is something to discover
Why it worked
Video put the shop in younger feeds, the events turned followers into a first visit, and SMS turned that first visit into a habit. No discounting, and the regulars never felt pushed out.
