Uncover what your growth constraint is and what to do next
The 30-Day Growth Constraint Assessment identifies what’s really holding your growth back, or we’ll keep working until you do.
Growth has stalled, but the real constraint isn't obvious. In 30 days, the Assessment names the one binding constraint limiting performance, quantifies its impact, and identifies the highest-leverage actions to remove it, with the math to defend every recommendation to your board.
Who It's For:
CEOs and PE-backed leaders who know growth is slowing but can't get the leadership team to agree on why
Executive teams weighing a major investment and want an outside diagnostic before committing capital
Boards asking for a clear read on where growth is actually leaking
What You'll Get:
The one binding constraint, named with arithmetic
Two to three options presented in a working session, each with cost, return, and cost of being wrong
A recommended bet with a value case
90-day priorities and KPIs to measure whether the bet is working
Know exactly where to invest for growth and how to execute it
Know exactly where to invest for your growth and how to implement in 90 days or we'll keep working until you do.
Growth opportunities are everywhere. Investing in the wrong one is expensive. The Blueprint identifies your highest-value growth opportunity, builds a boardroom-ready commercial strategy around it, and creates the prioritized roadmap your team can execute, with the business case and financial model to defend the investment.
Who It's For:
Leaders who know where growth needs to come from but not how to build the plan behind it
Executive teams preparing to bring a growth investment to the board
PE-backed operators who need a defensible commercial thesis to align portfolio value creation
What You'll Get:
A boardroom-ready commercial strategy centered on the growth bet
A business case with financial model (scenarios, investment required, expected return)
A prioritized 90-day execution roadmap with owners and milestones
KPIs and a measurement framework to track whether the bet is working
Turn Growth Strategy into Measurable Execution
A sound growth strategy still gets stuck if sales, marketing, systems, and messaging aren't aligned. The Accelerator identifies where revenue and channel friction is costing you, prioritizes the highest-impact fixes, and coordinates strategy, systems, and execution into a working go-to-market engine.
Who It's For:
Leaders whose strategy is clear but whose commercial execution or pipeline aren't producing
Companies where marketing, sales, and operations run on different assumptions and disconnected data
Teams launching into a new channel, segment, or geography that needs a functioning GTM system on day one
What You'll Get:
A diagnostic of where revenue and channel friction is leaking revenue
Aligned strategy, systems, and messaging across commercial functions
A coordinated execution plan across marketing, sales, and operations
Measurable improvements delivered in 90 days
Delivered through an execution partnership with Kobus Digital and Harrison Performance Marketing.
Revenue share options available.
Executive leadership without the executive hire - Fractional CMO, Fractional CCO, or Advisor
Some companies need senior leadership tied directly to revenue, positioning, and commercial execution, but not a full-time hire. The Fractional Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) or Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) engagements plugs in senior leadership on a defined cadence, owns the commercial or marketing outcomes, and moves the business without adding permanent overhead.
Who It's For:
Companies with that need executive direction but not full-time
Leaders who want accountability tied to revenue, not activity
Executive teams heading into a growth phase that needs commercial leadership now, not in six months
What You'll Get:
Weekly executive leadership of your team on a monthly retainer
Strategy tied to revenue, positioning, and commercial outcomes
Direct accountability for the plan and its results
After a Blueprint engagement, some clients continue with a Revenue Growth Advisor retainer (from $3,000/mo.) for roadmap execution and ongoing commercial counsel. Ask on the qualifying call.
One advisor. From constraint to execution. No handoff.
Most fractional executives operate at one of these altitudes. I operate at all 3, which means after I diagnose your growth constraint I can also design the strategy to fix it and lead the commercial execution behind it. That’s continuity of judgment, from the first working session to the fifth quarterly review.

FAQ: Top Questions Executives Ask Before They Book
-
A consulting firm sells more consulting. An internal team protects the plan already in place. A Revenue Growth Advisor names the bet and moves on. Consulting engagements are typically six figures and take months. Adding an executive is a permanent cost. What I do is scoped, priced up front, and guaranteed on the diagnostic tier.
-
Two reasons. Both diagnostic engagements carry guarantees. You leave with what was promised, or the work continues. That removes the advisor risk most engagements ask you to carry. And every claim on this site carries a defensible basis, with named case studies. If you want to verify anything before booking, mention it on the qualifying call.
-
Four things. The 1 binding constraint on your growth, named with arithmetic. 2 to 3 options for removing it, each with cost, return, and cost of being wrong. A recommended bet with a value case. And 90-day priorities plus KPIs to measure whether the bet is working. Delivered as a written memo, briefed in a working session with your leadership team.
-
Sometimes. If the growth constraint is already named clearly and the question is how to design and execute the response, the Blueprint is the right entry. If you're not sure, the Assessment saves money, because it prevents building a $25,000+ Blueprint around the wrong constraint. The qualifying call decides.
-
Yes but the value of a retainer comes from working on the right problem, and the diagnostic is what identifies the right problem. Exceptions exist, usually when prior engagements have already named the constraint, or when the retainer is scoped to a defined execution roadmap that already exists. Both are handled on the qualifying call.
-
Client work is covered by standard confidentiality provisions in every engagement contract. Named case studies exist on this site only where I have written client permission. Every claim carries a defensible basis.
-
Both diagnostic engagements carry guarantees, verbatim. The 90-Minute Growth Clarity Sprint: leave with your top growth priorities, or a second session is scheduled at no cost. The 30-Day Growth Constraint Assessment: identify what's really holding growth back in 30 days, or the work continues until you have the answer. Larger engagements don't carry blanket guarantees. They have too many client-side variables to guarantee outcomes honestly but they are scoped tightly, priced up front, and every deliverable is agreed before work begins.
-
The 90-Day Blueprint and 90-Day Accelerator are fixed-scope engagements with a defined start and end. If you cancel mid-engagement, fees are due for the work completed to the cancellation date, and any deliverables produced to that point remain yours to keep and use.
The Fractional engagements are based a monthly retainer. Either party may cancel with 30 days' written notice, with fees due for the month of departure to ensure continuity and an orderly transition.
Full cancellation terms are written into every engagement contract before work begins, so there are no surprises later.
