What We Offer
We typically start with one of the following. We operate on the principle that we need to prove that together we can deliver tangible value before we charge you anything - so for now these are done without charge. Where it goes after that is up to you:
1. Business plan
A 4-week strategic review to turn your business goals into a clear, actionable plan. This might also include building a high-level budget together - or reviewing your existing one.
Why? Because the right plan is the cornerstone of getting your business to the next level.
2. Pipeline Builder
Moving you from relying on 'word of mouth' to having a predictable system for winning profitable work & clients. This might include:
Considering various demand generation channels, and creating a budget and next steps for putting it into action.
Carrying out market research to assess which niches you should focus on, which products you could add and which you should cut.
Targeting and applying to larger contractors.
Why? Because we know how the best companies sell - and how to industrialise what already works.
3. Scalability Audit
Form a plan for how to build your business for scale. Review how much more technology can do, and how to feel like a bigger business while keeping cost commitments low.
We may work on a plan for your organisation in the next 12 months, so you have a roadmap for growth.
We can consider the areas you need to develop so as to put your business in a strong position to be sold at the best possible price.
Why? Because we have helped multiple businesses to scale, improving the founder’s quality of life in the process. We have also partnered to sell and raise capital for companies at attractive valuations.
4. Pricing review
Make a plan for how we can drive more revenue for the valuable services you provide. This may include:
Building price packages so your premium & less price sensitive customers pay more.
Building in techniques to upsell and cross-sell, or to communicate price increases in a way which customers find reasonable.
Using price as a way to smooth demand, so that you get full utilisation of your team & resources.
Why? Because we have worked with customers to drive over £20m in increased revenue & profit, while keeping customers happy.
5. Exit planning
Outline the steps required in order to deliver a successful sale of your business.
Review where you stand today in terms of readiness for sale, and attractiveness for potential acquirers
Summarise the steps involved in your exit
Consider areas where the business can be improved
Why? Because the key to a successful exit is a long-term plan. Why not take our exit readiness scorecard to see where you stand?
Our Pricing
After we’ve convinced you by delivering a successful first project, we hope you’ll come to see us as your company’s strategic team, there to help you get the big (and medium-sized) decisions right.
Our charges for partnering with you on a on-going basis - what we call ‘Strategy on tap’ - start from £2,000 per year, dependent on your company’s scale and needs. In return, we are there for you whenever you need us.
Our bet is that we can add 10x to 20x the cost of our retainer fee to your profitability
In addition, several of our customers ask us to work in their business as well as on it. An example might be executing your digital customer acquisition strategy for 10 hours per week, or managing your digital presence on an on-going basis. For these services, we will agree with you an additional daily rate for this.
We also agree separate fees where we act as your advisor in an exit process.
