Traction Cycle

Support For The New (Traction Cycle) Business. You are just getting started. Your new business needs traction: that solid connection with new customers that results in rapid sales growth. Your business needs that traction now. We know what keeps you up at night as a new business owner: getting traction feels like it takes everything you have. The wheels keep slipping. It is a constant effort to keep sales growing while building the foundations of your business.

Growth Cycle - Great Performances Group

Growth Cycle

You have been in business for up to 10 years. You have traction: growing sales, and a few employees. You have more work than you can take on, and are working too many hours. There are a lot of good things happening, but the risks and complexity keep piling on. The Growth Cycle challenge: we go from having not enough work to having too much. This is a fun phase because we don’t stay up at night worrying about sales.

You have a great management team in place. You do have questions about expanding, franchising, or selling, the business. As an Enterprise Cycle business owner, you don’t have problems as much as you have complex choices.

Doug's coaching and mentoring were of great value to my company as we entered and proceeded through an international business competition. With Doug's help, our company placed in the top ten. Doug's help was especially important in the final round when we made our pitch to an elite group of investors.

Thanks to Doug's experience, he had the ability to intuitively understand and analyze our strengths and weaknesses and quickly provide a clear, effective plan of action for us.
