Questions
What does it cost?
The price of the first project is agreed during Listen First. That price is the deferred fee, not a separate charge.
The fee is earned only from measured profit above a monthly baseline.
The baseline comes from the owner's last three years of tax returns, with owner benefit averaged month by month.
Profit is measured on the business's own books after each month closes.
What happens in a bad month?
If profit is below the baseline for that month, nothing is owed.
There is no catch-up later.
How do I stop?
Either side can step away at any time.
Fees already earned are paid. Nothing more is owed.
A written agreement covers the terms.
Does Garrett take ownership of my business?
Only if the goal is reached and you both choose it. Ownership comes only through sweat equity.
Who is it not for?
It is not a fit if SLS does not know how to fix the problems in the business.
It is not a fit if the business lacks the revenue potential to afford a consultant.
It is not a fit if the owner has no growth vision, or does not want Garrett as a teacher.
