Why can't you do more?

Something already works in your business. Something stops you from doing more of it. This finds that one thing and gives you a plan for the next 14 days. A few questions, in plain words, and you get a straight answer.

What it looks like
CBB
Door hangers and reviews bring you 14 new customers a month. If 30% more customers showed up next month, could you serve them?
YOU
No, we're full.

Then more customers need more crew. Who would you add, what does one cost a year, and what would one bring in?

How it works

Three steps. No homework.

1

Answer a few questions

What you sell, what already brings in customers, and whether you could handle more. Rough numbers are fine. "I don't know" is an answer.

2

Get the one thing

Every business has one thing that sets its ceiling right now. The tool checks your own answers against each other and names it. You see the reason the other things are not it.

3

Get the next 14 days

Three to five actions, each with a date and a way to know it is done. Print it, or get it in your inbox.

What it checks

Five reasons owners stop growing. You get one.

Most owners work on what they think the problem is. The tool checks the reasons in order and stops at the first one that holds up.

NumbersCan you count what works? If not, that comes first.
BuyersAre there enough of them, or do they just not know you yet?
BusinessDo you trust this business enough to grow it?
EconomicsDo leads cost too much, do too few buy, or are customers worth too little?
CapacityCould you deliver more if more showed up?
What you get

A straight answer, in plain words.

Here is a shortened example from a test run. Your read uses your words and your numbers.

Example · lawn care, crews full

You are full. More demand is wasted until you can deliver more.

Your door hangers bring in 14 new customers a month, and each one costs you about $94 to win. A customer is worth about $1,900 over time. The money side is fine. Your crews are booked solid, so every extra customer right now goes to a waitlist or to someone else. The fix is not more hangers. The fix is a second crew, and your own numbers say that crew pays for itself three times over.

Questions

Before you start

Is it really free?

Yes. Your first full read is free. You give a name and an email to see it, and that is all. If you want to run it again later, the short version stays free.

Does it work for my kind of business?

It works for any business that sells to customers and wants more of them. Lawn care, med spas, contractors, shops, consultants, trades. The questions are about how your business works, not what industry it is in.

What if I don't know my numbers?

Say so. "I don't know" is a real answer, and sometimes it is the answer. If you cannot count what works, the tool tells you that this comes first and shows you which numbers to start counting.

What happens with my answers?

They are used to write your read and to send it to you. We do not sell or share your information. Here is the privacy policy.
