Coaching for professional services

Business coaching for owners of professional services firms.

You're the lead practitioner, the rainmaker and the manager. For 15+ years I ran a B2B service business that sold to other businesses, so I know how a firm's growth gets stuck on its owner.

The pattern

When the firm is really you.

  • ✓Clients ask for you by name, so work can't move without you.
  • ✓A handful of clients carry most of the revenue.
  • ✓Pricing is set by habit, and scoping keeps creeping.
  • ✓Your team delivers, but every decision still lands on your desk.
  • ✓You're billing well, but not building something you could step back from.
Why me

I lost half my turnover in one client. Then rebuilt it.

When I bought my B2B franchise in 2011, it had just lost its number one client, half of its turnover. That is the risk every service firm carries when revenue is concentrated. I rebuilt the service offering, spread revenue across more clients and put a sales rhythm at the centre of the business.

Over 15+ years in corporate B2B I learned how service firms win work, price it, deliver it and keep the client. That operating history is what I bring to your firm.

How we work on it

The Framework, applied to your business.

Strategy

Which clients, which work

A clear position on the clients and services you build around.

Revenue

Pricing and pipeline

Pricing that reflects value, scoping that holds, and a pipeline that does not depend on you alone.

People

Delivery without you

Roles and review points so the team owns client work.

You

From practitioner to owner

Less time doing the work, more time leading the firm.

Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Which professional services do you work with?

Owner-led firms that sell expertise to other businesses, such as accounting, legal, consulting, design, marketing, IT and engineering practices.

How is this different from industry-specific practice management advice?

Industry advisers know your compliance and tools. I focus on the owner decisions: strategy, pricing, pipeline, team structure and your own role.

Can you help us raise our prices?

Yes. We look at value, client mix and how you present fees, then plan the change so it holds.

Do you work with partners as well as sole owners?

Yes. VIP Strategy Days work well for partner groups who need to agree a direction together.
