Not through new strategies or more leads, but by identifying inefficiencies, missed follow-ups, pricing gaps, and structural leaks that quietly erode EBITDA.His model is deliberately narrow. He works with only 6-8 companies per year, going deep over a 12-month engagement. This is not advisory work at a distance, he positions himself as a growth partner embedded in execution, focused on measurable financial outcomes.What stands out is his emphasis on continuity and execution over ideas. Whether it’s missed follow-ups, unstructured internal knowledge, or misaligned financial structures, his thesis is simple: most businesses don’t have a strategy problem, they have a capture problem.Proposed Interview Structure: 1. What got you into consulting, and how did you evolve into this “growth partner” role rather than a traditional advisor?2. What specific problem are you solving for your clients, and why does it matter so much for you to solve that personally?3. Who are your ideal clients today, and who typically holds the decision to bring you in?4. How do clients typically find you, and what’s worked best to attract the right $5M-$100M founders? Current Acquisition Channels: Referral, Podcast (guesting), Podcast (hosting), Speaking engagements Sub Question: What’s your perspective on podcasting as a marketing channel for consultants today?5. When you’re moving toward a 12-month engagement, how do you navigate the sales process from first conversation to commitment?6. Once you’re working with a client, how do you ensure they stay, continue working with you, and build a long-term relationship?7. Where do you find yourself most stuck right now in your business, if at all?8. Looking ahead, where do you see the biggest opportunity for your kind of work over the next few years?**********************************************************Know more about Doug C.
