What it's often about

Questions we put on the table

01

Where is the growth?

New market, new product, or simply more from the clients you already have. Usually it's that last one.

02

What do we stop?

Every new choice takes time that has to come from somewhere. We also make the list of what goes.

03

Price and margin

Plenty of companies work too hard for too little. Sometimes a better price is the fastest way to more profit.

04

The plan that stalls

The plan is fine, nothing happens. Then the problem sits in execution, and that's where we look.

How we work

From question to decision

  1. 01

    Get it sharp

    What is the real question? It usually sits one layer below what you walk in with.

  2. 02

    Choose

    We put the options side by side and pick one. With the numbers, and with your gut.

  3. 03

    Act and adjust

    You leave with concrete steps. If you want John to keep an eye on it or work alongside you, that's hourly.

How is this different from a Strategy Call?

A Strategy Call is one problem in 60 minutes, at a fixed price of €495 excl. VAT. Sparring can also be ongoing, for example every two weeks, billed hourly.

Do you work on site?

John works remotely, via Zoom or Teams. It's faster and cheaper, and it works just as well.

What kind of companies?

Mostly small and mid-sized businesses and new companies that want to grow and are looking for an experienced entrepreneur to think with.

What does it cost?

The intro call is free. After that you pick a fixed-price Strategy Call or work hourly, with an estimate upfront.
