Growth Executive Individual Contributor

Michael Hoard.

Working with Early- to Growth-Stage Startups (Series A, B), I help revenue teams develop and delivery growth strategies that accelerate repeatable revenue opportunities.

I’m an Executive Individual Contributor, often growth hire #1, called to design, develop and execute … then hire the team to turn the keys over to. You might call it Fractional or Interim, but in the end, you WILL call it successful.

GROWTH ADVISORY as a SERVICE (GAaaS)

Accelerate Your Business Growth with Result-Driven Fractional Leadership.

Big brands get big results because they have two things you don’t – big teams, big resources. GAaaS gives you access to both.

With me, you get Access to Expertise, Advisors, Processes and Talent meaning you can actually afford to put your product up against the best and win!

GROWTH SKILLSET

EXECUTIVE-AS-A-SERVICE

Executive-as-a-Service (EaaS) is a model that allows companies to access executive talent on a contract basis, rather than hiring full-time. EaaS executives can be a key part of a company’s leadership team, helping to develop and implement business strategies.

EaaS can be a cost-effective option, as companies only pay for the amount of executive talent they need, without the need for long-term contracts or search fees.

GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY

Your overall go-to-market strategy is the architectural blueprint for your engagement transformation.

We help you define the best go-to-market strategy for your organization; evaluating the relative priorities within your strategy and how you optimize channels to reach existing customers and prospects.

VALUATION ANALYSIS

Startup valuations provide insight into a company’s ability to use new capital to grow, meet customer and investor expectations, and hit the next milestone.

Today, unicorn valuations — businesses valued at $1 billion or more — number in the hundreds.

Where do you fit in?

PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS

Our revolutionary new business coaching software will find any business owner $100,000 in 45 minutes without them spending an extra dollar on marketing or advertising.

You will learn exactly what to do, when to do it, the impact you can expect, the exact steps to take and EVERY financial breakthrough available for your business.

FUNDING ADVISORY

80% of Series A startup funding pitches fail to generate engagement with investors.

The reason is simple: most founders don’t adopt an investor’s viewpoint. Generic pitch deck templates. Convoluted financial models. They miss the core business fundamentals VCs want to see.

I can help.

CORE SKILLSET

ICP DEVELOPMENT

Traditional ICPs lack a deep understanding and connection to your business. They’re often superficial and too broad.

We will show you how to leverage your data to more effectively identify who your “Ideal” customer truly is and align your strategy to accelerate growth sustainably.

PRODUCT ROADMAPPING

A product roadmap is essential to communicating how short-term efforts match long-term business goals and how they will be achieved.

Understanding the strategic role of a roadmap – and how to create a great one – is key for keeping everyone on your team headed in the same direction … focused on the customer.

GROWTH BEST PRACTICES

My INFINITY REVENUE LIFECYCLE model is built on methods and techniques that guarantee optimal results. I am committed to helping you streamline your marketing and sales efforts to deliver them to the highest standard.

PROCESS & FRAMEWORK

A structured approach ensures a systematic and targeted process that is repeatable and drives heightened productivity and increased efficiencywhile significantly reducing costs and lightening the workload.

RISK MANAGEMENT

REMEMEBER, IT’S REPEATABLE. When someone is on leave or has left the business, you can have peace of mind knowing that the work remains an integral part of your organization.

My model ensures that regardless of any personnel changes, the business retains its competitive edge and continues to thrive.
