Testimonials for Phil's Work

Hear what B2B Business Owners are saying about Phil.

"Phil has helped me grow as a professional. He has shown me how to work on my business, not in my business. Our financial worth has increased substantially. Phil showed us how to set up a holding company.

Our ISO certifier said that he is amazed that we’re a little company that is run like a big company.

~ Teresa Hensrud, Owner, Industrial Scale

"Phil behaves and talks like an owner. I knew that he would help us institute big changes effectively.

One of the important benefits of having Phil on my side is that he constantly reminds me of the importance of delegation and using time wisely. As an owner, it’s easy to get bogged down with low-value activities. Phil keeps me and the team on task and on time."

FAQs: How To Grow Your Business

How do I grow my business?

The best way to grow your business is to be intentional and proactive. Organic growth is good, but you never want your customers in charge of your growth strategy. You always want to be in control. You control your business growth by setting your strategy, monitoring progress on your strategic goals, and making adjustments along the way.

What is strategy?

My definition of strategy is the proactive and intentional utilization of your strengths and resources to provide optimal value to your ideal customers. It's about saying "No" to lots of little opportunities that might generate cash but distract you from providing significant value to customers who really need and want your help and can afford to pay.

What is a brand?

A brand is your customer's perception of your value, your ability to solve their problems and improve their results, and the customer's experience they receive from you during the process.

Isn't marketing just about advertising?

Advertising is about buying space (physical like magazine ads or billboards; digital is online) to put your content in front of a potential buyer. Advertising is a tactic, and an expensive one at that. Marketing is the overall strategy and framework to create and communicate your unique value and how you help your customers to solve their problems. Marketing is about attracting your ideal customers who need your help and are qualified to work with you.

"We learned to be proactive about client needs. It helps to be professional peers with our clients, not just service providers.

Even though his services may seem expensive, we definitely received a return on our investment.

Phil’s product is something you pay for now, but you use it throughout your lifetime. It’s very valuable."

~ Zlatan Fazlagic, Founder, Look Agency

What's the difference between profit and cash flow? Aren't they the same?

Profit is what is left over when expenses are subtracted from revenues. These are calculated on the accrual basis which means your record revenues when you deliver the product or service to the customer, not when you are paid by the customer. Expenses are recorded when you incur or consume the product and service and not when you pay for the service.

That's why accounts receivable (sales that you haven't been paid for yet) and accounts payable (expenses not paid for yet) exist. Cash flow is the reality of cash coming in and going out. High growth companies that are profitable can run out of cash quickly. You need to know and measure both profit and cash flow in your business.

How do I measure and improve business performance?

You can measure progress daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and annually. The more frequently you measure performance, the easier it will be to improve performance.

Daily "Flash" report:Measure sales in dollars and units, measure production in dollar value and units, measure cash inflow, outflow, and final balance.

Weekly: Summarize daily "Flash" report so you can compare to prior weeks, your best week, and forecast for the next week. Hold a weekly manager meeting where all department heads are in the same room at the same time looking at the same data. Get your management team working as a team to break down silos. A team wins or loses together. This will avoid departmental hoarding of results to the detriment of customer service or overall company performance.

"I have quite a bit of respect for his talents. Until you start to work with him and get to know him, you really don’t understand the depth of his knowledge and abilities. He knows how to coordinate life goals with business goals."

~ Monte Stewart, Partner, McCrank Stewart
