Our interests. Aligned with yours.
Our Partnerships are the most committed engagements we offer, reserved for a small number of companies we believe we can help become considerably more valuable.
We bring the full weight of our experience, methods, network and relationships to bear, working alongside you for the long term in exchange for a base fee plus a share of the value we help create.
The better we make the business, the better we both do.
HOW IT WORKS
We won't partner with you on a participatory basis unless we are certain we will make you more money than you pay us.
We don't work on "performance". Partnerships are exactly that, and as such both must have skin-in-the-game. We charge a base engagement plus a performance component tied to the growth we generate. Less risk to you, more potential for us both.
This isn't an outsourced service or consulting, we are invested. It's an embedded partnership where our financial interests are aligned with yours. We think about your business the way a co-owner would. And because our participation is tied to the growth we generate, there is no ambiguity about what success looks like. Our involvement scales with your execution - the more you act on the strategy, the more we lean in.
A good partner generally has $3M+ in annual revenue and is well established in their market and don't come remotely close to selling “get rich quick” stuff. They don’t work by committee, or need “approval from the board”.
The idea is to have decades-long relationships with a very small number of partners.
1.
BASELINE
If we're a fit, we'll start by getting underneath the business - the numbers, customers, positioning, pricing, acquisition, conversion, retention, people and plans for the future.
We'll establish where you are today, where you want to go and the biggest opportunities standing between the two.
2.
GAMEPLAN
We'll develop the full growth strategy - identifying the highest-leverage opportunities, sequencing the initiatives, and building the implementation architecture.
That might mean repositioning the company, changing pricing, rebuilding acquisition, improving conversion, growing existing accounts, strengthening the commercial team, entering new markets or preparing for an eventual transaction.
3.
PARTNERSHIP
We work directly with the founder and leadership team on the decisions, problems and opportunities that matter - reviewing performance, refining strategy and intervening where our involvement can make the greatest difference.
We'll build the pipeline with you, close deals with you, reshape the offer, fix the pricing, open doors, find the money hiding inside your existing customer base, explore new markets and acquisitions, and install the commercial disciplines that make growth repeatable.
Whatever the opportunity requires, if we can materially improve the outcome, we'll get involved.
Sam Palazzolo, Tip Of The Spear Ventures
In just 4 weeks, Vanquish helped me implement a game-changing system that consistently produces 60-75 business leader introductions and 10-12 highly qualified discovery meetings weekly. Our initial goal was to secure just ONE new client due to our engagement, but we’re on track to exceed that by at least 5x.
