Growth Agent

Nounit's not about what you do, it's about what does for others.

A growth consultant thinks about (and sells) their services with the end in mind; the tangible growth that results from the services provided. Most sales & marketing materials they create focus on "why" as opposed to "how". They don't sell "websites", they sell "lead generation", they don't sell "copywriting services", they sell "conversion systems", they don't sell "accounting services" they sell saving money.

A common approach to supplying growth to a company is simply introducing new approaches to bringing new audiences to a client's current marketing systems.

Metaphorically Speaking...

It's a simple understanding that building a bridge isn't about the bridge, it's about the connection built between two places and the lives it enriches of those it services. Likewise, whatever service you provide end results aren't the website, advertising, sales strategies, accounting, etc. that you are providing, it is the savings, the new leads, the higher sales rates they produce.

An example growth consultant deal:

Example Profit Share Deal: a 10% profit share of a website project that generates $1m in profit's can generate a $100k return. Even if the original service provided retail price would normally be, say, $10k. One would need to land 10 client deals at $10k to equal the 1 profit share deal.

Understanding Your Worth - it isn't just about what you do...

KEY: You aren't only getting paid for the work you're doing, the skills you have, or simply the results you generate... you're also getting paid (or not paid) for the RISKS you're taking.

What Growth Consultants Do...

You're designing growth opportunity between two parties, usually in the form of increased sales.

You're crafting & presenting a proposal designed to persuade the two parties that the deal is indeed worth taking.

You're building out the Distribution Mechanism that both parties have agreed to, either internally or with subcontractors.
