Your Challenges, Our Solutions

Identifying the challenges you face is the first step to success in growing your business. Leveraging experienced business acumen, strategy, and support is how Crowsnest helps you to achieve results.

Foundational

  • Building a model for your annual, monthly, and weekly plan of attack is a major key to success when carrying out any initiative. We provide the tools and resources to create actionable models for any initiative, and help to execute and track your KPI’s to ensure you’re on en route toward success.

  • The foundation of your business should be built on solid systems and processes that allow you to scale the business and delegate duties that keep you bogged down. We present, develop, and execute appropriate systems and processes for you and your team in order to make sustainable scale possible.

  • As entrepreneurs and owners we’re always learning and growing. Not every skill comes naturally and sometimes training for owners and staff is needed. Crowsnest provides training and skill development to keep you ahead of the curve and continue building your wealth of business acumen.

Developmental

  • Most entrepreneurs are plagued with hundreds of new ideas every week. It’s a blessing and a curse as new ideas are often the vehicle toward your next big move. We provide an opportunity to acid-test these ideas, discuss the merits and weaknesses, and help in the decision making process to ensure you’re putting your best foot forward on the most advantageous new initiative.

  • Getting high level advice can be a breath of fresh air and help to guide the ship, but falls short when it comes time to execute. Crowsnest is sure to be there each step of the way as you launch new programs and ideas and ensure that you get traction with the counseling we provide. Your success is our success, and make sure the doing gets done so we can move on to the next initiative.

  • You can’t run your business alone, and it’s important to have a solid rolodex of business professionals to call on for support and services. Feel free to tap into whatever we have to offer, whether it’s finding a new bookkeeper, attorney, or publicist, or researching a CRM, marketing firm, or UX designer, we’re happy to make a recommendation. If we don’t have the resource at hand, it is our mission to help you find it.

Executive

  • As you continue to scale and grow your business, there are one thousand moving parts to take into consideration. Having a clutch departmental strategy for every corner of your business key to getting up in the Crowsnest and experiencing ongoing success. We partner with you to strategize new initiatives, look around corners for pitfalls and new opportunities, optimize your time and resources, and build a roadmap to success.

  • The relationship in our engagement is like that of business partners. We want you to succeed just as much as you do, for your success is ours. Therefore each session we make sure that you are driving action and getting the work done that we agree to. Many owners feel they aren’t accountable to anyone for the work that they do and lack the guardrails and discipline to stay on task and get it done. Not any more. We’ll make sure you get the “getty-up” you need to stay on course and continue building your business.

  • Running your own business can be frustrating, exhilarating, defeating, and glorious all in one day. But you can’t drag your employees into every emotional swing, and sometimes bringing it home all the time can have a deleterious effect on your personal relationships. Bring it to our next meeting, or shoot us a text or call. We promise to empathize with whatever news you have and be the Vent Station you need; commiserating your frustrations and joining in to celebrate your wins.

Testimonials

  • My business had been steady for a few years without being able to crack through to the next level when I decided to start working with Crowsnest. TJ has been great to work with - knowledgeable, thoughtful, responsive, and on it! We've just had our best quarter and positioned for more!

    Nitya Kirat, YOSD Consulting
    Sales Consulting

  • I’ve been working with TJ since November and it has been a game-changer on the high-level planning, structure, systems and stagey… so we can start to scale. We’ve got a hiring plan in place that has triggered my sales goals when to hire who. I’ve been really cautious of growing for the sake of growth … that’s cancer. It’s really easy to grow with all these opportunities, right now. To have that plan laid out has brought a lot of clarity of how to get from here to there. Working with Crowsnest has been a HUGE level up for the business.
