What my most successful clients have in common might surprise you:
They didn’t set out in life to run a tech startup.
Hell, neither did I… way back when.
Does this sound familiar:
→ You had a secure corporate job (cushy comfort)
→ Made big money (knowing way less than the boss)
→ You saw a big problem and knew you could solve it
→ You caught the bug and worked up the courage….
→ Now you’re leading your first tech startup.
You’re an expert at what you do.
You sort of mashed your way through getting to this point.
You leveraged your network to get customers.
Soared past the coveted $1M ARR
But now…
❌ Referral network is used up
❌ No repeatable way to get to new business
❌ Stakeholder and investor confidence is slipping
❌ You tried to outsource growth but that ended badly (again, and again)
You no longer or very rarely go on holiday or date nights.
You are a problem solver and growth, marketing, sales, networking isn’t your thing
You can’t lose the accounts you do have (but not sure about retention processes)
You’d rather be innovating than dealing with this stuff.
But, here you are.
Basically, you’re stuck.
Weeks, months. years… stuck 🕰️
Bad hires, balancing profitability, borrowing more money
Desperately building features and throwing them at new markets
It’s like Groundhog Day over and over and over again.
Here’s the deal:
My clients focus only on what drives value. 💡
Set clear, achievable yet aggressive goals. 💡
Get everyone on the same page, and excited again. 💡
Use proven frameworks, processes, and optimization tactics, 💡
Hold themselves and others accountable 💡
Make fast decisions and move on 💡
My clients learn to delegate, communicate, and lead 🚀
And know that I help them:
→ Attract their perfect customer
→ Close more deals faster, at scale
→ Implement lean, scalable processes
→ Progressively have more time to do what they love.
It’s not rocket science
It’s expertise, no bullshit, and empathy because I’ve been there, and
Backed by 5 years consulting in big tech Fortune 50 15 years business building in B2B SaaS/enterprise tech with 2 exits.
When you’ve had your ass kicked enough and are ready to get serious about putting your mark on the world,
Your legacy.
Let’s talk.
Or, keep doing what you’re doing and see how that goes.
Then, when you’re ready to 3x growth in one year….
