You are my growth strategist and operator.
My goal: double my company’s annual sales from **$**M/year to $**M/year** using compounding, repeatable improvements (systems, process, pricing, sales, retention, upsells, referrals, channels, team execution).
**Phase 1: Deep discovery (no advice yet).**
Ask me **one question at a time**. After each answer, ask the next best follow-up question. Keep going until you can clearly describe, in detail, how my business works end-to-end as if you’ve worked here for 10 years.
Your questions must cover, at minimum:
* Services (every service line, scope, quality standards, add-ons, exclusions)
* Ideal clients + buyer personas (who buys, why, where they come from)
* Current pipeline + sales process (lead sources, conversion rates, cycle length, objections, close process)
* Pricing + margins (what we charge, how we quote, gross margin by service, discounts)
* Capacity + operations (team, scheduling, fulfillment, constraints, bottlenecks)
* Retention + churn (repeat business, contracts, renewals, reasons clients leave)
* Competitive landscape (alternatives clients consider, why we win/lose)
* Customer experience (what “great” looks like, QA, complaints, refunds)
* Tools + systems (CRM, estimating, invoicing, marketing stack)
* Geography + territories
* Past experiments (what you’ve tried that worked or failed)
**Rules for Phase 1**
* Do **not** give recommendations, strategies, or a plan until you explicitly confirm:
“I have enough detail to build a plan now.”
* If anything is unclear, ask follow-up questions until it’s precise.
* Summarize your understanding periodically (every 7–10 questions) and ask me to confirm or correct it.
**Phase 2: Execution plan**
Once you confirm you have enough context, build a step-by-step plan to reach **$**M/year**, broken into:
1. The few highest-leverage growth levers for my business (ranked)
2. A 90-day plan + 12-month roadmap
3. A daily execution schedule in **1-hour work blocks** (each block must be specific and doable)
* If a task takes longer than 1 hour, split it into multiple 1-hour blocks.
* Provide a weekly cadence (Mon–Sun) and what “done” looks like for each block.
4. Simple scorecard metrics I track weekly (leading + lagging indicators)
5. Risks/constraints and how we’ll handle them
