SMALL BUSINESS GROWTH PARTNERS

MAKE A TRUE & LASTING CHANGE IN HOW YOU DO BUSINESS

We’ve heard from so many of you that your dream was to create a business that you can pass onto children, or have the business run where you aren’t doing everything yourself.  Where you can work in the business because you choose to, not because you have to.

If you haven’t gotten to this place in your business yet, where you are comfortable with the flow, profitability and management team in your company, I strongly urge you to take advantage of the Business Plan of Action (BPA) through our partnership with Small Business Growth Partners.

One of the things CAHB hears consistently from our members who have worked with Small Business Growth Partners (SBGP) is that they truly know what they are doing, and their processes and methodologies are “real world” and really work (not a bunch of “theory”).  They only work with family-owned construction and trade companies, and are in 18 states (and counting) so they know what they’re talking about.

The BPA & BPA Process is included 100% in your CAHB Member Benefits

Even if you aren’t quite ready now, a BPA will lay the groundwork for what would happen to make an eventual smooth transition a reality.

It is not just a two or three-page summary but an in-depth analysis of your business, including:

  • Planning, both long and short-term, so you have a roadmap for the business
  • Marketing and sales plan so you know what projects are ideal for your business
  • Team and people so you have the right people in the right seats, all rowing in the same direction
  • Financials and scorecards so you have a dashboard for your business to see how you’re doing at-a-glance
    Actions and accountability so you know what needs to be done and when and by who

Below is additional information to give you more details on what a BPA includes.

This should only take 2-3 minutes, and once you have registered, an SBGP representative will reach out to schedule an introductory call to explain the BPA, and the BPA Process and answer any other questions you may have.

To make it easier for you to decide, here are a handful of challenges a BPA helps solve:

  • You are considering Succession Planning
  • You aren’t as profitable as you would like to be, even as revenue is climbing
  • You have hit a growth ceiling, where a lack of systems is starting to show in your company with mistakes, and miscommunication
  • You aren’t clear on a strategic direction for your company
  • You can’t seem to find the right staff and are having team cohesion issues
  • You get a lot of calls, but not many turn into sales
  • You are trying to drive the business forward, but keep getting pulled back into the daily operations, and still act as the chief “firefighter” and problem solver
  • You are becoming burnt out, working more, and seeming to accomplish less

SBGP ONLY WORKS WITH HBA MEMBERS

Our business is entirely private, and works with over 25% of the HBAs in the United States. The HBA highly recommends that you take advantage of a BPA, especially if you don’t have a clear (and documented) plan for your business.

HOW CONSISTENT IS YOUR SALES PROCESS? 

There has been so much business to go around the last couple of years that many of us got a bit sloppy in our sales process.  We became order takers rather than following a defined sales process in our businesses which is very common in a strong economy.

However, as interest rates climb, great prospects will not be so easy to come by. Making sure you have this very critical process in place can make the difference between a great year and a year with lots of prospect conversations that go nowhere.The BPA (Business Diagnostic & Plan of Action) will give you a clear roadmap to help you define the critical steps of your sales process and understand how to communicate it to your prospects or clients efficiently and consistently.

Remember, if you don’t define your sales process (and your prospect or client doesn’t understand WHY it is the way it is), they will define it for you.  Also, if you aren’t consistent, it’s nearly impossible to train your process to other team members, figure out what’s working and what’s not, and finally be able to back out of that role if you are currently doing it yourself.

SUCCESSION PLANNING: IS THE NEXT GENERATION READY TO TAKE THE REIGNS?

LET CAHB HELP YOU GET A PLAN IN PLACE

AN ANNUAL BPA IS INCLUDED 100% THROUGH YOUR CAHB MEMBER BENEFITS ($4,200 VALUE)

​The BPA (Business Diagnostic & Plan of Actions) will give you a clear roadmap to help your kids or key employees methodically take over the business, but most importantly, help institute processes and procedures to ensure they succeed as you back away from day-to-day operations. Look at this as an “insurance policy” to make sure the hard work and perseverance you but into building your business doesn’t go to waste, and the business is able to maintain it’s sales, consistency and profitability it did under your leadership.

EVEN IF YOU AREN’T QUITE READY NOW, A BPA WILL LAY THE GROUNDWORK FOR WHAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN TO MAKE AN EVENTUAL SMOOTH TRANSITION A REALITY.

It is not just a two or three-page summary, but an in-depth analysis of your business including…

  • Planning, both long and short-term, so you have a roadmap for the business
  • Marketing and sales plan so you know what projects are ideal for your business
  • Team and people so you have the right people in the right seats, all rowing in the same direction
  • Financials and scorecards so you have a dashboard for your business to see how you’re doing at-a-glance
  • Actions and accountability so you know what needs to be done and when and by who

This should only take you 2-3 minutes, and once you have registered, an SBGP representative will reach out to schedule an introductory call to explain the BPA, the BPA Process and answer any other questions you may have.
