Course overview

Build a Focused, Commercial Strategy for your Practice

Most expert-led service businesses waste 70% of their sales and marketing time chasing the wrong opportunities, using tactics that don't match their actual business stage, capacity, or goals, or operating without a real plan. 


As a result, they feel overwhelmed by endless advice, suffer feast-or-famine revenue cycles, live in constant uncertainty about where to focus their time and energy. Without a clear plan, it’s easy to stay busy but make little real progress. 


This sprint exists to fix that.


Over four structured weeks, you'll sharpen your commercial thinking, focus your sales and marketing energy, and design a 90-day plan that drives real, measurable revenue growth.


By the end of the sprint, you will have:

•  A 90-day revenue plan tailored to your business stage and goals

•  A clear view of your commercial priorities — and where to stop wasting time

•  A repeatable planning framework to guide future quarters

•  Renewed confidence in how you sell, market, and grow


You'll leave with a simple, strategic commercial engine — not just ideas, but a plan ready to execute.

Who will benefit from this course?

01

Established Experts who want a focused, strategic plan to grow — not just more marketing activities or busyness.

02

SoloPros ready to build disciplined, profitable revenue without scaling big teams or chasing trends.

03
