Stuck at a revenue plateau?

As you try to grow do your margins shrink?

This highlights the challenge of "scalability". Growing sales and top line revenue is one thing; being able to scale with an ever-increasing percentage of profit is another. It is exactly why sustainable growth is not a one-dimensional sales/marketing challenge. It requires a deeper analysis of many value drivers; operational capacity, competitive positioning, finance, to name just a few.

It's also why sustainable growth cannot be obtained by the CEO alone, nor mandated with sales quotas. The executive team needs to be involved. By applying value drivers to various functions with the input from your "room of experts", growth comes faster, it's almost guaranteed of success, and profit margins by percentage rise faster.

Do you think you have a sales or marketing problem?

If you tell us you want to grow you're inviting a lot of questions that we've found are at the root of flat top lines:

Does your market/audience/territory support added growth?
Operationally do you have unleashed capacity to grow?
Do you know what your industry is projected to grow at?
What is your competition doing that is stealing your market share?

Those are just the beginning, but they highlight the fact that growth is not just a sales and marketing problem. The assessment will look at the industry, the competition, the market, your own capabilities and your ability to be innovative. You can't grow without taking it all in.

Is growth really your problem? It wasn't for this CEO even though she worked like it was.

"I inherited the business from my father. At the beginning everything looked fine with $6.56M in revenue. But I quickly found myself working long days, tired and exhausted, trying to sell more to add to my measly $144,000 in EBITA. I was ready to cash it all in and cut my losses.

But the assessment highlighted the fact that additional sales was not the solution. The foundation of the business was fractured in so many ways. We looked at management, finance, our suppliers and contracts. Everything changed.

Two years later I'm having the time of my life. Revenue grew by 175%, EBITA grew 3.5x, my own salary grew by the same amount and I'm not working countless hours. Even my CPA told me to hold off billing because we were making too much money at the end of the year. Banks are now fighting for my business. There's no way I'm selling now!"

Wonder what could possibly be different when you feel like you've tried everything?

Success starts with the approach. "Value Drivers" are the gold standard of measuring business growth, operations and future profitability. We use them to provide you with three insights in ways you've probably not experienced before:

Value drivers are often used by M&A firms or buyers of a company to determine the true value of a company that's for sale (because they deliver accurate measurements of success or value collectively and individually). We reverse engineer them to provide your potential growth target with pre-determined results; i.e. you'll know your growth potential.
The 16 areas we look at all provide value to your business. By singling out individual value drivers, we can pinpoint what areas contribute to your specific business's growth and highlight or optimize those for peek growth performance. This eliminates guesswork and missed aspirations.
With these as a starting point, we'll be able to compare you to your competition and know how to beat it.
