CHERYL POWERS

I work with business owners of $5M-100M companies on value growth and exit planning as well as sales and operational excellence.
The right management, sales, and operational teams don't just happen. It takes skillful alignment to create a culture of exceptional performance, excellent margins, extraordinary profits, and a steady stream of healthy cash flow. This is the way to create personal wealth and freedom.
Alignment begins with strategy, planning, and accountability but doesn't stop there. Each member of the team must be a fit for their position and must have a way to know where they are in relation to their goals. Good sales teams hit targets and reach goals regularly. Great sales teams do the same while finding ways to outperform the competition. The same goes for great operational teams and exit planning teams. When you're ready to plan your exit, we help you put together the right strategy, plan, roadmap, and team to go to market and negotiate the best deal possible.
Our clients hire us because they want:
> Growth > Cash Flow > Strategy > Operations > Compensation > Recruiting > Sales Architecture + Enablement > Sales Management > Value Acceleration > Preparing for Sale/Acquisition > Exit Planning

• Managing fast growth
• Operations improvement
• People and culture improvement
• More real business in the pipeline
• More reliable sales forecasts
• More effective salespeople
• More effective sales and operational management
• Win more against competitors
• A wealthy and successful exit
You'll focus on foundational drivers to build a best-in-class company that delivers value and freedom; and on developing and implementing legacy systems, enabling your company to sustain breakthrough performance levels and unprecedented profits.
