Support For The New (Traction Cycle) Business. You are just getting started.

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.

It was our pleasure to work with Doug Walker through the IRAP-CAMC Management Advisory Service program. Our discussions were centered on developing a business strategy for bringing our R&D robotic prototype to the market. Doug coached us in discussing and developing various strategy components. With his vast knowledge, openness and clarity Doug guided us through the process in a short period of time with a solid set of results. We highly thank Doug for his great job and certainly recommend him as a management consultant to our peers.

It was a pleasure working with Doug Walker in structuring a shareholder agreement for our health and wellness meal planning application and website Meal Planner Pro (www.mealplannerpro.com). We needed to accommodate different levels of investment which presented many challenges. Doug was able to quickly grasp the complexities and provide us with a clear and concise outline of each party's rights and responsibilities. This gave us the structure needed for current and future investment. Beyond Doug's impressive skill set and experience, he has the ability to think outside the box, delivers on what he promises, can work under tight deadlines, and has very strong communication skills. I can highly recommend Doug Walker. He would be a tremendous asset to any project or company.
