Real Testimonials

"37% increase in gross sales compared to last year; and a 16% increase in net profit!"

“We are so excited to see how much growth our business has had this year! 37% increase in gross sales compared to 2022; 16% increase in net profit; but the most exciting part to us is that Clay helped us learn to delegate more (without losing money!) so we could step back from the day to day operations and breathe a little better. We hired more employees, promoted existing ones, had a 65% increase in payroll costs, yet we MAINTAINED our gross and net profit margins from 2022, even with the added expenses.”

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How long does business coaching take to work?

The length of any business coaching program depends on your unique goals, current business challenges and desired level of service. A typical program can run anywhere from 90 days to 18 months.

2. How much does business coaching cost?

Similar to the length of a program, the investment for business coaching varies. However, in each and every company we've worked with, we've found ways to increase existing profits to more than cover the investment in coaching.

To that end, we offer packages for every budget including by the hour, by the month or by the project.

3. Is there a long-term contract?

No. My experience as a business owner has taught me how bad we hate long-term contracts. While some of my engagements have lasted years, most last between 6 and 18 months. All an engagement requires is a 30 day notice of intent to end and the agreement is done.

4. Do you actually become my business partner?

No. Not legally. I don't take any stock ownership. When I engage with a client, I'm immersed into the company like a partner, but you’re in charge. You make all the decisions. I won’t do your work for you, but with you. I will definitely help with your strategies and I might recommend some good people to outsource some of the accounting, legal and marketing tasks too, all in an effort help build a team around you.
