how it works...
Individual Coaching | Structured Support | Added Bonuses
Once you have been registered onto the scheme (this is a very rapid and simple process), you will be assigned to a member of our advisor team with the right skills and experience to assist you with your growth ambitions
You will meet regularly over a three month period to go through a step-by-step process of business growth planning
The process involves initial analysis of your business and the opportunities and challenges it faces. This shared understanding allows both you and your growth advisor to realistically assess your choices and to plan the steps required to achieve the desired results for you and your company.
The pace of the programme allows for you to move quickly but also do everything properly. This means that you will achieve sustainable and profitable growth now and in the future
All the way through the process you and your growth advisor will have access to the Good2Great Client Library which is full of tried and tested business tools to assist with your programme
You will also be able to join the Good2Great Growth Club and learn alongside other likeminded business owners to help you tackle problems and opportunities together. As part of the Step Up support programme, your access to this dynamic community is fully funded for the first three months.
Growth Advisors who've walked the walk...
Practical support from people who know their stuff...
One-to-one coaching from people who understand what it takes to start and grow a business. Everyone in the Good2Great Advisor team has run their own company so we know what it’s like to be in your shoes.
As well as having a detailed understanding of our proprietary business growth models and being great at helping individual business owners like you to unpick the challenges in front of you to help you realise your business dreams; every trainer and coach in the team knows the journey you are on.
Detailed business analysis
An in depth appraisal of every element of your business - just like an MOT!
The first thing your Growth Advisor needs to understand is how your business ticks. This involves getting under the bonnet and really checking it all over
The Good2Great Business Analysis Report is a brilliant way to get everyone up to speed in super quick time
The analysis will most likely highlight some areas where your business excels and other areas where there is some room for improvement. This is entirely normal and it’s important to evaluate the impact of each of these areas so you can really focus on perfecting your strengths and either fixing or eliminating your weaknesses depending on the impact on your future prospects. This forms the first part of your SmarterGrowth Plan
Then, you will want to appraise your growth opportunities and understand the ‘gaps’. It might be that you need more financial resources. You might need to develop new skills. Or perhaps invest in new resources such as software, plant, premises, equipment etc… You might even be able to grow through acquisition or by accessing new markets or larger contracts…
Whatever the best strategies are, Your experienced Growth Advisor will help you plot the right path to take and turn it into clear steps and milestones for achievement…
Your One-Page smartergrowth Business Plan
A lot more than ten boxes... A framework for business success!
The SmarterGrowth One-Page Plan is a visual, single page strategic growth plan which outlines your tactical plan for implementation… As you go through the programme, you will explore all areas of the plan and then work with your coach so you know exactly what to do and how to do it.
What’s more this single page will also capture your milestones for the achievement of your goals as well as a plan for the resources of time and money you will need commit as the business grows.

bonus 5: Online promotion of your business locally:

For most this will involve targeted posts on social media. For others, it may involve an in-depth interview on the Saturday Strategy podcast. If you are in Telford or Bridgnorth, we can tap into the extensive networks of LoveBridgnorth and LoveWellington. And for one or two, it could mean a full PR launch with coverage on local television, local radio and coverage in both the mainstream local press and specialist business publications.
