Why Use a Business Growth Specialist?

“I don’t need a business coach. I’m already turning a profit, so that’d just be another expense.”

These are the words I was greeted with when I met another business owner at a recent networking event. Over the years I’ve heard this as a reason for not utilising outside support many times.

The thing is, you shouldn’t look at a business growth specialist, such as myself, as just “another expense”. It’s an investment, and I wanted to explain why somebody like myself could be helpful for taking an already successful business to the next level.

How Can a Business Growth Specialist Help?

As a business owner with ambition and a desire to grow beyond your current level, having an outside perspective to bounce ideas around with an help keep you focused on the bigger picture is vital.

The challenge with many people I encounter is that while they may be an expert at their ‘job’ through years of training and experience, they have little to no knowledge on how to run a ‘business’. This is what holds many successful ‘job holders’ back from growing effectively. Instead, they hit a ceiling and if a business isn’t growing, it’s dying.

One aim that my clients share is the desire to have a business that’s less directly reliant on them. Ultimately, this means that the company can operate independently whilst still generating a profit. This means it can be valued much higher when the time comes to sell, if that’s their long-term ambition.

What Difference Can a Business Growth Specialist Make?

The first thing to realise about running a business is that it’s much more than just turning a profit. Of course, this is a major factor, but there are lots of other little factors that add up to creating those profits.

One way a business growth specialist works with the owner of a business is to get these factors together in order to maximise those profits. This is through strategic planning, effective actions, time management, role delegation and more. Beyond that, a business growth specialist can help you to get the right team together. By doing so, your company will be able to run without your constant involvement, giving you more time to spend with your family and on other projects.

Eventually, you’ll want to get out of the business and retire, which means it’s time to sell it. This is where a business growth specialist could come in to help maximise the value of your business, making it saleable. Further yet, some assistance in developing an exit strategy in collaboration with outside support, who has had years of experience in creating these, is vital for ensuring an effective transition.
