Define the path to your next stage of growth
Strategy for an owner-led business is a small number of decisions: which offers to grow, which customers to be known for, what you can say that competitors cannot, what to fix first, and how much capacity there is to fill. We make those decisions with you, write them down, and attach a number and an owner to each
A few questions, then a written read of what is holding growth back, what we would fix first, and why
Six decisions, written down, each with a number
Why plans fail at the handover
The strategy is usually fine. It fails between the document and the Monday morning
Nobody owns the number
A target with no owner and no date is a hope. Each of the six decisions gets both.
Channels are bought before the path is fixed
Visibility, reviews and offer pages first; paid only where the numbers justify it. The order is most of the strategy.
Capacity is ignored
Plans that ignore space, stock, staff hours and response time produce waiting lists and refunds.
What the plan covers
One document, one page per decision, yours to run without us if you prefer
Positioning by offer
What you are known for, stated so a customer and an AI engine can repeat it. One sentence per priority offer.
How customers are won
How many enquiries become sales today, and what each stage must reach for the plan to pay. The plan’s scoreboard.
Channel order
What to fix before anything is bought, and the order in which channels earn their budget.
Measures and rhythm
The four commercial numbers, the day-90 targets, who owns each action, and the weekly and monthly cadence.
Market changes
What is changing in the markets we work in, and where strategy tends to break
SoftwareOnly 55% of middle managers can name one of their company's top five priorities
The famous 70% strategy failure rate is folklore. What research actually shows is sharper: plans die in the gap between the people who wrote them and the people who must run them.
HotelsWhat a booking actually costs
Base commission is the smallest part of what a marketplace booking costs. The full stack, the cancellation gap, and where rate parity is now unenforceable.
ClinicsWhat a clinic may say in public
The rules that govern clinic marketing in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the US and Turkey, what they forbid, and the informational assets every one of them permits.
