Founder of the 90 Day Pipeline™ for B2B consultants and professional service providers

Not sure where your next client is coming from? 

Tired of staring at an empty pipeline?

Looking for a better way to win consulting deals?

(keep reading)

I’ve been in your position myself, a couple times. 

First, when I left a huge consulting firm (Ernst & Young) to join a fledgling boutique that could barely pay my salary (took them to 7 figures at lightning speed). 

Second, when I launched my own consulting practice thinking all I had to do was “work my network” and the deals would fall in my lap.

(long story short, the network dried up fast and I struggled to pay the bills -- my wife was thrilled about that). 

Good news is a few years later we are now a multiple 7 figure global consultancy with a team of 15+. 

The point? Trust me when I tell you there’s a better way. 

If you are a B2B consultant (or you lead a firm), and you are… 

❌    Tired of harassing your personal network for leads (no one wants to work with a spammer)

❌    Sick of "begging" for referrals and introductions (everyone knows what “getting coffee” really means)

❌    Looking for a more predictable way to generate new consulting business (and stop losing deals to competitors who are not as good as you)

I’ve got something that’ll put an end to your misery, once and for all. 

It’s called “Power Positioning”

When you harness “Power Positioning” for your business, you will:

✅    Never worry where your next client is coming from because you have a pipeline full of leads waiting to do business with you

✅    Be seen as a recognized leader in your market (so when it comes to you vs the competition, the client feels way more comfortable with you)

✅    Charge the kind of “premium fees” you’ve only ever dreamed of (I’m talking about 4-5 figures hourly, if you want)

In case you think I’m full of it, here’s what a few clients have to say:

“We went from 1 large client to 10 who consistently write checks with our name on them” - Arlen W., Engineering Firm

“Our pipeline had completely dried up, but now it’s fuller than ever. I’m astonished at the results!” Matt R., Branding Agency

“I've tripled my revenue and I have 5 times as many clients as I had before” – Christopher F, Communications Consultant

“We went from zero to $50k/mth on a brand new offer in just 90 days” - Shay Rowbottom, LinkedIn Influencer

Founder & CEO

Most consultants struggle with marketing, lead generation and business development. 

It's not because they're not good at what they do, or they don't have the expertise, or they can't "deliver the goods" for clients. 

But because they haven't taken the time to "master the marketing" of their expertise. 

The proof of this?

I guarantee you have competitors who are not as talented as you, but have more clients and earn more revenue than you do.

Why? Because they mastered the marketing. 

And that sums up the "raison d'etre" for Boutique Growth. 

I wanted to build a company that helped boutique consultancies (anyone from the solo practitioner to the 7 figure firm) win against the big boys & girls. 

Not by playing the same game. But by playing a better game. 

So far, we've helped hundreds of clients across every B2B vertical you can think of on every continent except Antarctica (still working on that one) raise their level of play. 

And we're just getting started.

𝗢𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗦 & 𝗖𝗛𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗘𝗦 are what FranChoice is all about. I work with people who are excited about the thought of business ownership, but they don’t have “the big idea,” nor do they want to “recreate the wheel.” They’re more the “plug and play” type. Give them a sound business model and let them execute! 

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗗𝗢 𝗜 𝗗𝗢? 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗗𝗢 𝗜 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣? 
You might think of me as a matchmaker – the business kind! Basically, I match good people with good franchise businesses based on your goals, skills, interests and investment level. I coach and guide individuals through an investigation process so they can make a sound business decision – whether that’s a yes or a no. 

It’s 𝗙𝗥𝗘𝗘. I try to make it 𝗙𝗨𝗡. My goal is that you have a 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧-𝗖𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗦 experience!

▶ I specialize in businesses that: 
▪ Thrive in a pandemic
▪ Have rapid break-evens
▪ High margin
▪ Low investment
▪ Easily scalable
▪ Owner/operator or Executive model (manager run)

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗘𝗟𝗦𝗘?
There is never a perfect time to buy a business. That only happens in the movies – and I’m not even sure it happens there! I’ll work within your timeframe and at your pace.

𝗙𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚? 𝗙𝗔𝗠𝗜𝗟𝗬 𝗦𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧? 𝗙𝗘𝗔𝗥? Yes, yes and yes. Yes, I can introduce you to companies that specialize in providing financing options. Yes, your spouse or partner should be supportive of you in this new venture. If not, this may not be a good option for you. Yes, everyone has lots of fear and we’ll talk about when fear raises its ugly head and how to combat it.

Are you a 𝗩𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗻? So is my husband (Viet Nam) and my Dad (WWII)
Many franchise companies offer a discount or a dollar amount off the franchisee fee to thank you for your service and they know veterans make exceptional franchise owners.

𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗬? When I follow up with the people I helped into successful businesses, they usually say:  
▶ I wished I had done it sooner!
▶ What was I so afraid of?
▶ I’m thinking about expanding!

If you’re considering a franchise as your next career move, Contact me. I promise you won't be disappointed.
