Dan Smits: What drives business success? So we are helping companies when they come to a point of a startup and they just don’t know what direction to head. with their business. Also, we’re getting involved in turnarounds and underperforming companies that need a nudge in the right direction and really performing those different practices within their organization so they can become profitable and not be in a turnaround stage.

Growth Point Partnership presents, Partners in Growth podcast. I’m Dan Smiths, the founder and CEO of Growth Point Partnership. With 25 years of experience running four businesses, being in the trenches, operating those businesses, and experiencing four different acquisitions relating to those businesses, I know what drives growth and I know what kills growth. So let’s dive in to customizing your growth strategy through these podcasts, be able to give you tools, tricks, tips, to be able to move forward and overcome the obstacles that are in your way. 

Partnering with business resources like Growth Point Partnership helps you to be able to become nimble and cost-conscious because you have someone that’s actually in your stuff, I call it, right? So they’re there understanding what you’re doing and giving you advice to move forward. So with us being practitioners, we are delivering our service model through actually being a fractional COO. So we work with organizations that are doing services for our clients. like bookkeeping services, marketing companies, et cetera. And we help to coordinate those different processes to ensure best practices of all the partners. So we are the quarterback for the relationship. And within your company, who is your quarterback? Who is your COO that has the grit to fight through these different problems? And… really own up to the fact of best practices.

So the goal for this podcast of Partners in Growth is to really share stories, interviews, case studies that we go through and really get into the nuts and bolts of really what drives business success. So we are helping companies when they come to a point of a startup and they just don’t know what direction to head with their business.

Also, we’re getting involved in turnarounds and underperforming companies that need a nudge in the right direction and really performing those different practices within their organization so they can become profitable and not be in a turnaround stage. Mergers and acquisitions are a very critical point to. growing in the right direction and really being careful of the culture through that whole merger and acquisition process. 

We also help organizations that are in the exit planning stage or in succession planning to really make sure that they have a solid plan that is proven out over time and that your EBITDA, your margins are all consistent over a three, five year period. So when you do go to sell your business, you’re able to get the maximum amount for your business. So it’s all about building enterprise value of your organization. And what does it cost for your organization to not go through these processes when you’re sloppy? It costs an awful lot. And in the long run, we can show you on a return on investment calculator of what owning these different processes due to the bottom line down the road when it comes to selling your business.
