The interview
What is the immediate impact of your sessions with Ben Miller?
Every session is a jaw-dropping revelation of where I was wrong and where we could improve. It is a completely new perspective on looking at a problem that unblocks me right now, and that is special.
What was the state of your business before working with Miller Growth?
I think it didn't have a functioning go-to-market motion. We struggled for a good three years to find something working and it didn't work.
Why did you choose to work with Ben Miller specifically?
What really stood out with Ben was his incredibly strategic aptitude and his ability to very, very quickly identify blind spots that we weren't aware of.
What was the most important strategic change you implemented?
The very most important thing that we did and that we changed was extreme commitment to focus, to really finding our niche and focus down to an ICP and target segment just big enough to make enough revenue, but small enough to really stand out and deliver an exceptional service or product.
What tangible business results have you seen from this partnership?
In terms of numbers, we moved into profitability. We found that we did a successful pivot into a completely new segment and we set the basis for growth again.
How has this affected you and your team personally?
For our team, what came back was confidence, especially for me. I considered myself to be somewhat of a failed founder before, and that re-instilled confidence in me, thinking, 'Okay, I can actually do this.' That built up an incredible confidence in something that cannot be taken away.
