Our Clients deserve a lot of the credit for their Success.
These are a selected few client success stories. We welcome you to become one of them.
Growth Concepts serves a broad audience of Internet marketers, product/service providers, software development managers and business owners who sell both to consumers and B2B. Growth Concepts has helped clients both large and small such as: Peterson Motor, Herringer Marine, MitchCo Printing, Ad Systems, Pierre Country Bakery, World Gym, Gregory’s Wheat Shop, Nature’s Sunshine (and many others) increasing business value through their efforts and our guidance.
Our most successful clients aggressively implement our expert guidance instead of using trial and error, they initiate well and they are committed to their goals of implementing the move with the least cost, time and effort while focusing on business value.
Here Are Some Client Successes:
Fitness franchise struggling with an asset appraisal of $700,000. After analysis found value pillars and drivers for implementing a wellness program. After minor changes in selling tactics and customer service realized a gain in business value of $1,700,000 in nine months.
A retail factory outlet maintaining $50,000 in annual sales climbed to $297,000 in annual sales after changing selling and ad tactics for working capital. The following year reached over $500,000 in revenue with new selling and advertising tactics, costing under $5,000. Margins climbed along with business value but the Owner did hold on until a change in the industry forced him out of business.
New product launch for Hardware/software company resulted in hitting target audience with messaging and low-cost tactics reaching over $1.5 million in annual sales while bringing back a lost value of over 9 million. This company was previously an employee buy-back once valued at 13 million now repositioning for another take-over.
Working with these Owners three years resulted in an employee buy-out for an undisclosed sum. The owners are retired. Initially we increased front-line sales 35% with new selling tactics in three months. Organizational development closer to an “ideal business” model follow. With additional working capital along with strategic implementation of a wholesale division another $450,000 in revenue over nine months was gained. After years a realization of over $750,000 in equity and they are free from the business.

Dear David:
Working with CEO David Whipple moved our planning and research to a new level. The reports to the client were stronger and more useful because of the innovative metrics developed ( 3% rule and CenterfigurE) by Growth Concepts. There will be a new generation of marketing and marketing communications graduate students from Northwestern University that have found Growth Concepts a strong metric partner.
The value of the Growth Concepts (Analyzer I) software was to allow the project to define and “stay on strategy” with the messaging of the company. David’s training time and dedication to the full use of the software also made a great difference.
