Business Alignment Accelerator Workshop
Friday March 7 [9-12]
Buffalo New York
Our Business Growth Workshop empowers you to accelerate profitable growth using proven and results-driven methods.
THE PROBLEM
The dilemma that many leaders face is that they are satisfied with their current business, and rely on past practices and hard work to adapt to challenges and changes. This often leads to frustration, failure to significantly improve business fundamentals, inconsistent results, or team burnout.
THE SOLUTION
To grow revenue and profits with less headaches and faster results, we need to see Growth as a predictive and systematic process that can help your business-- whether you are stuck, growing too fast or planning to exit soon.
The Four Elements that Matter [and How to Get Them Right]

ALIGN: Get faster results with less effort by getting everyone on the same plan- your One Page Strategic Plan
-
ACCELERATE: Develop a strategic advantage over the competition. Position your brand as a market leader.
-
ADVANCE: See your company’s reputation and revenues soar as employees understand and deliver 100% of your brand promises.
Learn how to go from inconsistent profits, stress and overwhelm to a defined plan for predictable profits, a more accountable team, a self-managed business, and the lifestyle you desire.
