We grow businesses. Faster.

The Great Performances Group, under the leadership of Principal and Lead Consultant Clemens Rettich, works with startups and new businesses to get the best possible start; with rapidly growing businesses to build great teams and sustainable momentum, and with mature businesses developing exit and succession strategies including sales, acquisitions, and franchising.

The Great Performances Group provides business coaching, employee and management training, advising, and operational support.

Our job is to help you align all the parts of your business for sustained profitable growth. We make sure your marketing, management, finances, and operations are working together, pulling in the same direction.

We can help take your company to the next level – from start-up through expansion to exit and succession strategies.

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.

Your business has its own momentum. You are a leader in your market, and in market-share. You’ve been at this for 20 years or more, and there are days when you don’t need to go to work. 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.

I hired Clemens primarily because I wanted to develop a succession plan for my business.  He ended up helping with so much more than just this!  His guidance in defining my long-term goals, and truly imagining myself in the role I wanted to be, have been instrumental in keeping my business on the right track. Having a clear goal and step-by-step plan of how to get there is essential for success.  Since I first started using Clemens in 2013 my business has increased by over 50% in sales.

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.

As my business and personal Coach, Clemens has moved me out of the realm of “comfortable” and into uncomfortable. It is during this state where I find my greatest occurrences of growth, both personally and professionally. Specifically, in the past 2 years he has recommended and directed me in implementing two very difficult changes which have had significant positive impacts in my life. I know without doubt that I would not have made these changes without Clemens’ expert advice and because of this I recommend him to all who seek such a professional. My life is so much better because of him.
