We need one system working correctly before we can do effective strategic work together. Without it, we’d spend Growth Plan time building basics instead of strategic optimization. The Accelerator also gives us baseline data to make informed decisions from, confirms your team can implement recommendations, and validates that we work well together before committing to an ongoing engagement.

Possibly. We would conduct a comprehensive audit similar to Growth Accelerator Week 1. If your systems genuinely meet our standards, you can move straight to the Growth Plan. In our experience though, around 90% of businesses need the foundational work first — even those who think their systems are in good shape. The audit call will tell us clearly.

Most clients stay 12–24 months — until their systems are sophisticated enough to manage internally or they’re ready to hire a full-time marketing manager or team. Some stay longer as an ongoing Fractional CMO relationship. The goal is always graduation: building you to a point where you can execute independently if you choose to.

The quality of strategic thinking and implementation is the same across all tiers. The difference is depth, frequency, and pace. Tier 1 ($3,500/mo) gives you 15 hours and 2 meetings — right for $250K–$400K businesses with 1–2 channels. Tier 2 ($4,500/mo) adds weekly touchpoints and 20 hours — right for $400K–$600K businesses with a growing team. Tier 3 ($5,000/mo) provides near-daily support and 25 hours — right for $600K+ businesses scaling aggressively.

With 60 days notice on a month-to-month plan, yes. We can also reduce to a consulting-only tier at $1,500/month to maintain momentum without full implementation during quieter periods. We’d rather work with you to find a structure that fits than lose the strategic continuity we’ve built together.

You own everything. All systems, documentation, logins, automations, and processes belong to you. We provide a clean handoff and transition support regardless of how the engagement ends. There are no vendor lock-in tactics here — if you graduate or move on, you leave with a complete, documented growth engine.

That’s what Week 1 is for. We conduct a comprehensive audit and recommend the system that will deliver the highest ROI in the 6-week timeframe. You don’t need to come in knowing the answer — working that out together is part of the program.

Not in the standard 6-week program — we focus on one system to make sure it’s built properly and that your team is genuinely confident using it. You can add the second system as an add-on after completion, or upgrade to The Growth Plan for comprehensive implementation.

No. If you don’t have existing systems, we’ll recommend and implement the right platform for your needs. If you do have existing systems, we’ll evaluate whether to optimize what you have or transition to something better — and we’ll explain the tradeoffs clearly before making any decisions.

Both. We do the heavy lifting of building and implementing the system — that’s done-for-you. But you participate in decisions, provide content and access, and learn how to operate the system once it’s built — that’s done-with-you. The goal is that you finish confident and capable, not dependent on us to keep things running.

You receive a 30-day optimization plan, 30 days of post-program email support, and a 30-day check-in call. From there you can continue independently, add an extended support package, or upgrade to The Growth Plan for ongoing strategic guidance and continued system building.

Yes — completing the Growth Accelerator is a prerequisite for The Growth Plan. It ensures we have one core system working correctly, baseline data to make strategic decisions from, and confidence that we work well together before committing to an ongoing engagement.
