Your Challenges
If you run small business or nonprofit and you’re not overwhelmed, we’re shocked.
The modern world makes it even tougher.
Volatility
Global pandemics/conflicts, supply chain disruptions, economic instability, and unexpected competitive threats loom large. As if everyday challenges weren’t enough.
Our technology, agile approach, and modern coaching methods help you navigate and mitigate the chaos you face everyday.
Uncertainty
A concrete ROI is not a sure thing when you hire coaches and marketing gurus. Most businesses need a whole system focus, beyond the average consultant’s narrow expertise.
Our system is different. It (actually) works, reducing your risk/uncertainty with a 200% ROI guarantee.
In writing.
Complexity
How do you master a vast and complex array of business activities to get predictable, sustainable growth? And make progress without working an additional 10-20 hours a week?
We turn complexity into focus. Our systematic approach helps you simplify, order and tackle an overwhelming set of tasks.
Our Big Idea
Most small business owners and nonprofit leaders don’t know how to quickly, predictably and sustainably grow without spending more time or money.
We do.
With an approach that leverages proven marketing strategies, whole-system thinking, continuous improvement, modern technology, and unique coaching methods that empower you and your team.
SBG Services
We put the growth in business and nonprofit growth coaching. ROI guaranteed.
Revenue Growth Coaching
Our primary offering. Coaching engagements are typically 12 months but often run for years. The focus is on revenue and profit growth (or program growth if you’re a nonprofit), but we strengthen you and your team in the process. And we restore your work-life balance.
Leadership Coaching
Different than business coaching, this focuses on developing your competencies, talents and leadership tool-set. The goal is to improve your working relationships and drive business results. Along the way, you gain more self-awareness and emotional intelligence.
Capital-Gains Tax Strategies
When you are ready to sell your business, 25% to 45% of your profit will go to capital gains tax. Federal and State tax regulations allow you to defer your tax payment for up to 30 years. We work with you to utilize these financially beneficial options.
Business Sale Resources
When you sell a business, our focus is helping you realize the greatest profit while controlling sales costs. Issues of valuations, structure of the sale, utilizing a business broker, maximizing tax efficiency, estate planning, generational wealth transfer, etc. are resources we have available for you.
What makes us different?
Skill and Experience
The SBG Founder (Chip Carter) has over 25 years of experience in arenas that matter: professional business, nonprofit, and leadership coaching, C-level leadership in small and Fortune 100 businesses, marketing and technology leadership, award-winning management, financial expertise, and more.
In both the private and nonprofit sectors.
Revolutionary Technology
Our profit acceleration technology platform is very modern — less than 4 years old. It offers a comprehensive tool-set for assessment, planning, goal setting, project tracking, coaching, and education. Its work-flow and thousands of algorithms analyze businesses and structure implementation plans to optimize execution efficiency and financial return.
Deep Coaching Expertise
Anyone can hang a coaching shingle today. But many coaches are not formally educated and credentialed in the art and science of coaching. Few have deep, hands-on experience to practice effectively. Having run Harvard Medical School’s Institute of Coaching, we know how to get clients on a change path to make difficult change happen.
Secret Sauce
Through experience and research, we’ve developed a system for revenue/profit/program growth not widely understood or used. Elements of that system — our conversion equation, the compound growth principle, whole-system thinking, kaizen, and others — are not particularly innovative in isolation. But as an integrated whole they can deliver a high, counter-intuitive level of profit growth.
200% ROI Guarantee
Why are written guarantees from business coaches so rare? 1) Coaches are not confident in their own methods and efficacy; 2) Growth requires a behavioral commitment from the owner that they cannot control. Our approach differs. It rests on alignment, shared vision, and a solid track record; we believe in ourselves and won’t take you on unless we believe in you.
