Revisiting the 100% Growth System

Back in August, I published a blog series on The 100% Growth System – a step by step approach to growing your sales and profitability by 100% – a bold, outrageous and provocative target.

The 14 tactics from that series are summarised at the end of this post.

At the conclusion of that summer series I applied for a job – as your 100% Growth manager.

The details of that job application are also repeated below.

Here’s what happened:

  • I set myself a target of 20 practices to work with for the first 6 months of 2016
  • as of today – 17 practices have interviewed and hired me to coach them on 100% growth

So this post is for two reasons:

  1. I’m taking a moment to appreciate those who have hired me – my best work is happening with their management teams;
  2. I’m offering myself for “interviews” to fill the remaining 3 positions

I’d be happy to attend a telephone interview to begin with and a complimentary face to face meeting if I get past stage one.

Would you like your business to grow 100%?

I’m for hire.

Summary of the Job Application

Terms as follows (as amended to reflect today’s date).

  • Job Title – 100% Growth Manager
  • Start Date – 1st January 2016 or ASAP after that
  • Duration – 6 months
  • Salary – £1,200 pcm (including VAT). Your total investment = £7,200
  • Benefits – I do not require any health insurance, or a pension, or life cover, or expenses or an invite to the Christmas party
  • Working conditions – I don’t need a desk, a chair, a telephone, a computer, a uniform, a locker or any business cards – oh, and you don’t need to be nice to me
  • Attitude – I’m a business survivor and I know how to grow your business by 100%
  • I’m not scared of getting my hands dirty
  • In June 2016 I will resign on a month’s notice and ask you to provide a reference for my next Employer – or I’ll want you to ask me to stay another 6 months – either way I’ll want you to say that I’m worth it because I helped your practice to start the process of growing 100%.
