THE GROWTH GAP
Growth Rarely Stalls For The
Reasons Everyone Assumes
When revenue flattens, everyone inside the business has a theory. The pipeline is thin, or the salespeople aren't good enough, or marketing isn't delivering leads. Those are usually symptoms rather than causes.
​
The real issues are usually more fundamental, and they don't show up on a dashboard. HEP finds them by talking to the people doing the work, under conditions where they can be honest, and to the prospects who chose someone else. Where sales calls and demos have been recorded, those show what actually happened rather than what anyone remembers.

HOW IT STARTS
The Growth Accelerator Roadmap
Every engagement begins with a fixed-price diagnostic. Four to six weeks, delivered remotely, built from an anonymous company-wide survey, structured interviews with your team, and conversations with customers and lost prospects.
​
We review recorded sales calls where available, alongside the website, pricing model, commission plan, and competitive position. We also review what the buyer actually sees: presentations, collateral, proposals, business cases, and contracts.
​
You come away with a findings and recommendations report: what is actually limiting growth, and what to deal with first.
Under 50 employees
$15,000
50 to 149 employees
$20,000
150 to 499 employees

Fixed price. No hourly billing, no change orders. Delivered remotely over four to six weeks. Option to have the report findings presented to the CEO in person (T&E charged at cost).
TRACK RECORD
Thirty Years as a Founder and CEO
Most people who advise CEOs on growth have never carried a number or signed a payroll. Thirty years of building, buying, fixing, and selling businesses is what HEP brings to the table.
Founded, built, and sold in five parts​
Built to ~$80m, 500 employees, and 1,000 customers in five years across five business lines, then divested each one separately for a combined ~$40m.
Partnership access larger competitors could not get
Secured a Dell partnership as a start-up that had never been done before.
Two turnarounds as incoming executive
Entered an unfamiliar industry and doubled sales inside six months.
Twice the size of any deal in the company's history
Repositioned the offer, mapped 20 use cases, built the proposal, led negotiations.
BEYOND GROWTH
Growth Is Rarely The Only Question
Companies at an inflection point are usually weighing cost structure, capital, and strategic options at the same time. HEP has founded, funded, acquired, divested, and restructured businesses across thirty years, and can engage on those questions alongside the growth work rather than referring them out.
