What is Growth Consulting and what does a Growth Consultant

Growth consulting is the definitive approach to help organizations identify and effectively tackle the issues they face when striving to achieve their goals. The process makes use of specialized tools and expertise to provide unwavering support to organizations throughout all phases of the growth cycle.

A growth consultant is a highly skilled professional who empowers organizations to overcome obstacles and achieve sustainable growth. Their expert market analysis and strategic insights enable them to resolve challenges,  identify new growth opportunities, and provide businesses with guidance needed to achieve their goals and unlock their true potential.

There are points in business where you can feel stuck. Growth has plateaued or you're unable to get past some operational or market challenges.  

Some examples of these points are:

• Sales are flatlining. Business is there, but you're not seeing growth. Despite having an existing customer base your revenues just aren’t growing in the way you want them to be.

• You're growing and unsure how to assign corporate structures. Maybe during the startup, "everyone" used to do "everything", but now you need to set "lanes" for employees. Unfortunately, you're unclear about the best method.

• You’ve reached a place where sales are flatlined. You hit the point where you’re not making enough money and you don't know how to pivot to get back to growth.

• You have a long-term goal for your business, but you need help laying out a business strategy roadmap to get there.

• Your entire organization is about to or needs to transition and you're unsure how best to execute the change.

When you start seeing moments like this within your business, bringing a growth consultant into the mix will help you go through a course corrections. 

 The biggest benefit of a growth or strategy consultant is gaining that outside perspective of what’s going on inside your business. 

Often when you’re inside a business (especially one that is challenged) it can be hard to see what’s going on. Once things start to move towards a downward trend, you can get lost trying to figure out and lose momentum in your business for the future because you're trying to figure out the current challenges.

That's where a Growth or Strategy Consultant can help by coming in and following a process allowing them to:

• Review what the teams are doing. Examples are, assessing your sales team to ensure that everything is happening in a way that grows your business. Reviewing your marketing structures, are you capturing and engaging customers.
• Refine the processes. After observing your teams in action, the consultant will fine-tune your systems and introduce new processes to help your business expand. 
• Roll out your new plans. Implementing, training staff, monitoring the results, and making adjustments as needed. 
• The primary goal is for the consultant is to train and replace themselves (this is especially true of a fractional VP of sales or fractional Head of marketing) to make sure that evolutions continue after the partnership is over. 

At our core, we love to help businesses lay out their future goals. Often we see companies that have a long term goal but don't know how to get there.

That's where we come in. We can sit down with leadership, and understand where they want to get to, then after a review with the existing teams, we outline annualized organizational and structural plans and processes needed to get to the long-term goals. From P&L management to org charts, succession plans, and even market projections. You have a dream, we can show you how to get there.
