The Problem

Does this sound familiar?

Your business is doing $500K-$5M. Growth has flatlined. You know something needs to change, but every option looks wrong: enterprise consultants quote $50K+ engagements aimed at companies 10x your size, local 'business coaches' sell motivation but not strategy, and the books and podcasts give generic advice that doesn't fit your situation. Meanwhile 94% of small business owners project growth for 2026 — most of them will hit it through sharper focus on 3-5 levers, not more tactics. The question is whether you'll be one of them.

Revenue plateau with no clear cause

You've doubled down on marketing. Hired another salesperson. Added features. Nothing moves the needle. The problem is usually not the one you're fixing — and without outside perspective, you can't see it.

Enterprise consulting is priced wrong for you

Top-tier partner rates run $800-$1,200/hour. A typical engagement starts at $50K and goes up. Your annual revenue can't support those rates, so you don't hire help — and stay stuck.

Generic business coaches don't fit specific problems

Coaching helps with mindset. Strategy consulting helps with decisions. Most SMB owners hire coaches hoping for strategy and get platitudes. You need specific answers about YOUR pricing, YOUR funnel, YOUR ops.

A record 94% of small business owners project growth in 2026, the highest level ever recorded in the OnDeck/Ocrolus survey.

The Solution

Local Business Growth Consulting

Senior strategy consulting at SMB-appropriate prices. We combine AI-driven diagnostics (rapid analysis of your financials, funnel, operations) with personalized 1:1 consulting to identify the 3-5 highest-leverage changes for YOUR specific business. Flat fees, concrete revenue targets, 90-day engagements. If we don't identify $100K+ of realistic growth opportunity, the engagement is free.

Get Started
  • 90-day growth diagnostic

    Deep dive into your P&L, customer data, funnel metrics, competitive position, and operational bottlenecks. Output: a specific growth roadmap with $100K+ in prioritized opportunities.

  • Focus on 3-5 levers, not 50 tactics

    Most growth consulting overwhelms owners with 50 recommendations. We identify the 3-5 that'll move 80% of the needle and ignore the rest. Less to do, more results.

  • Pricing and offer optimization

    Often the single highest-leverage change. We audit your pricing against competitors and willingness-to-pay research, identify underpriced services, and help you implement changes without losing customers.

  • Sales funnel surgery

    We map your funnel stage-by-stage, find the actual leakage points (usually not where you think), and fix them one at a time. Most SMBs have 30-50% more revenue trapped in existing pipeline than they realize.

  • AI-enabled analysis

    We use AI to analyze your data faster than traditional consultants — financial patterns, customer segmentation, competitive intel. You get enterprise-grade diagnostics at SMB prices.

  • Biweekly 1-on-1 sessions

    Consulting, not coaching. Each session targets specific decisions: which market to enter, which customer to fire, which price to raise, which hire to make next.

Our Process

How it works

1

Free Growth Diagnostic Call (60 min)

30-min deep-dive on your business, 30-min of honest assessment: what we'd focus on, what realistic growth looks like, whether this is a fit. No hard sell. You leave with at least 2 actionable ideas whether or not you engage.

2

Deep Dive Sprint (Weeks 1-2)

Data analysis — your P&L, customer data, funnel metrics, competitive positioning. We'll request specific documents and do 3-5 stakeholder interviews (you, your top salesperson, your ops lead).

3

Growth Roadmap Delivered (Week 3)

A prioritized list of 3-5 growth initiatives, each with estimated revenue impact, implementation cost, and 90-day timeline. Total identified opportunity target: $100K+ annual.

4

Execution Support (Weeks 4-13)

Biweekly strategy sessions to work through implementation, unblock decisions, and course-correct. We don't do the implementation — you do — but you're never making decisions alone.

5

90-Day Review & Next Steps

Results review against the roadmap. Continue the engagement, transition to monthly retainer, or hand off to your team with a clear playbook. Your call, no pressure.

Our methodology is built on proven frameworks

Transparent Pricing

Simple, clear pricing

$100K opportunity guarantee: If our Growth Diagnostic doesn't identify at least $100,000 in realistic annual revenue opportunity for your business, the engagement is refunded. We've only had to refund 2 diagnostics in the past 18 months — because we only take engagements where the math is clearly there.

Frequently asked questions

What size business is this right for?
Revenue range: $500K-$5M annual. Below $500K, your problem is usually product-market fit, not growth strategy — different engagement. Above $5M, you probably need specialist consultants (fractional CMO, fractional CRO) rather than generalist growth consulting. The sweet spot where we add the most leverage is mid-seven figures.
How is this different from a business coach?
Coaches work on you. We work on the business. Coaches ask questions to help you find your own answers. We bring specific recommendations based on analysis of your data and industry benchmarks. Both valuable — for different problems. If you want someone to help you think, hire a coach. If you want someone to help you decide, hire a consultant.
What industries do you specialize in?
Strongest track record: professional services (law firms, accounting, consulting), local service businesses (home services, auto, fitness), subscription services, and small-to-mid B2B SaaS. We've done less work in restaurants, retail, and manufacturing — we'll tell you honestly if your industry isn't a strong fit during the diagnostic call.
What kind of revenue growth is realistic?
15-30% year-over-year is realistic for most engagements. The $100K opportunity we identify is typically 10-20% of your revenue — meaningful but not magical. We won't promise 2x growth in 6 months. If a consultant does, walk away.
Do you work remotely or in-person?
Primarily remote via Zoom, Slack, and shared documents. We do one optional in-person day at the start of Intensive engagements if you're within 2 hours of a major airport. Most of our clients prefer the lower cost and faster cadence of remote work.
What do you need from me to get started?
Access to: 3 years of P&L, current customer list (anonymized ok), Google Analytics, ads data if you run paid, and 30-60 minutes each with 2-3 team members (usually you + top salesperson + ops lead). Total time commitment from you: ~8 hours over the first 3 weeks.
What happens after the 90 days?
Three options: (1) continue with a monthly retainer at a reduced rate, (2) transition to quarterly check-ins at $500/quarter, or (3) end engagement with a complete playbook handed off to your team. ~60% of our diagnostic clients continue to managed growth; ~30% transition to quarterly; ~10% end the engagement.
Why should I trust you vs an established local consultant?
The question isn't really 'trust us vs them' — it's what you're paying for. Most local consultants are generalists who've worked with 20-30 SMBs. Our advantage: AI-enabled analysis that does in 2 weeks what used to take 6, combined with access to industry benchmarks most local consultants don't have. If a local consultant gives you their 20-year network and deep local knowledge at a comparable price, that's a legitimate alternative — pick whoever fits better.
