The Foundations to Scale

Clarity on Who To Target & How They Buy

Aligning everyone on your ICP and associated Buyer Journey is required to efficiently scale revenue

I’m not a marketing executive so I didn’t place a huge importance on ICP prior to Michael coming in, but he pointed out that we need to focus on ICP first and move from there—and that’s exactly the kind of advice you want from a strategic leader because you don’t know what you don’t know.
— Jackson Fregeau, CEO, Quandri

Processes That Better Qualify Leads

Service Level Agreements that create clear expectations are needed to take revenue generation to the next level

Michael helped us hone the journey our leads and clients go through, and adjusted the processes our people follow so they qualify leads better and don’t flood account executives with a bunch of low-quality leads
— Dan Erikson, CEO, OpsReady

Technology That Drives Performance

Technology that enables people to be the best professionals they can be is an essential ingredient to scaling revenue

Michael has a lot of expertise with HubSpot and other digital tools. He was very much hands on and helped jumpstart the company’s marketing engine
— Gord Breese, CEO, Katipult

Teams That are Fit-For-Purpose & Truly Aligned

Ensuring the right people are in the right place, with the right support - and are empowered to scale revenue is essential

Michael took responsibility for sourcing, vetting, and interviewing hires to help us recruit the right people who could keep our vision going and continue to execute against the roadmap even after he’d left - that saved me at least 20 hours of work per hire, never mind the cost of a recruiter
— Brian McClennon, President & CEO, Link

A Plan That Scales ARR/MRR

A plan that has a strong bottom-up rationale and clear measurement/accountability is needed to scale revenue

We have a blueprint now—and that’s gold for me. It’s crystal clear what we need to do and how to get there
