The next move

The two or three things that would move the number most. Whether we work together or not.

Honest fit

Who this call is and isn't for.

The form is the gate for a reason. Before you fill it out, here's who tends to get the most from these conversations and who doesn't.

Great fit
  • Creative, digital, or design agency
  • £200K+ annual revenue
  • Want to build a business worth running, and selling if you choose
  • Ready to invest in growth or exit preparation
  • Open to honest feedback you might not want to hear
  • You've been at this 3+ years
Not a fit
  • Just starting out (under £100K revenue)
  • Looking for quick-fix tactics or hacks
  • Want someone to run the business for you
  • Not open to changing how you operate
  • You want a free strategy session with no intention to engage

Before you submit

Common questions about the call.

Is the call really free?
Yes, the call is free. No card needed. The qualifying form is the gate so the conversation goes deep instead of staying surface. If we're a good fit to work together, we'll talk about how. If not, you'll leave with a clear next move regardless.
What happens after I submit the form?
I read the form personally. Within 24 hours you'll get an email either with a time link to book the call, or a note explaining why now isn't the right fit and what I'd suggest instead.
What if I'm not £200K+ revenue yet?
The call is built for £200K+ agencies on the climb, or £1.5M+ founders preparing to exit. Below £200K, you're better off with the Selling Creative Services course (free with the Scorecard) until the fundamentals are in place.
I'm not planning to sell. Is this still relevant?
Yes. The same things that make an agency sellable (recurring revenue, owner independence, documented systems) also make it more profitable and easier to lead day-to-day. You're building optionality, not obligations. Most clients aren't actively selling.
How long until I see results if we work together?
Most clients see measurable improvements inside 90 days, typically in pricing clarity, pipeline predictability, or delegation. The Strategic Growth Programme runs for 7 months to allow meaningful transformation. Exit preparation typically takes 12 to 24 months.
