Are you tired of feeling like you are hiking with a backpack full of rocks while trying to scale your company? In this episode of Simple Wins, we explore the stages of growth and how to identify the hidden barriers to growth that keep most B2B firms stuck for years. Many founders find themselves trapped in a plateau, and it’s usually because they are carrying ""rocks"" they don't even know exist. Matthew Pohl joins us to share how he shifted from a stagnant 12-year-old firm to tripling his revenue in just three years by implementing research-backed business growth frameworks. We dive deep into: The Gates of Focus: Why you must choose between people, profit, and process to unlock your next level of revenue. Organizational Rewilding: How to move beyond anecdotal experience and use a roadmap based on the history of thousands of successful businesses. The Profit Shift: Learn how to refocus your entire team on revenue generation to go from a few proposals a month to one every single business day. Scaling for Exit: How aligning with the right stage of growth allowed Matthew to achieve a 10x increase in his company’s valuation. Our guest, Matthew Pohl, is a former data analytics professor turned entrepreneur and the founder of The Rewild Group. He is a specialist in organizational growth who helps leaders navigate the complex journey from small-scale operations to high-value assets.
