Challenge Solution Outcomes

Challenge

When Kip Golden, the owner of CR Structures, and his business partner first started their business, they faced a few key challenges:

  • Limited Business Experience: Neither of them had all the business know-how they needed to lead and scale their own company. They came from employee backgrounds, but running a business required a different skill set.
  • Scaling the Business: As the business grew, it became clear they didn’t have the leadership structure to manage the expansion.
  • Getting Everyone on the Same Page: With a growing team, aligning everyone to work toward the same vision was becoming difficult.

    Though Kip initially thought he could handle it on his own, he eventually realized that bringing in an advisor could help them manage growth and build a more cohesive team.

Solution

Kip decided to work with a business advisor to help tackle these challenges. The advisor provided:

  • Leadership Growth: The advisor worked one-on-one with each member of the leadership team, helping them grow both personally and professionally, which gave them the tools to step up and take charge in their roles.
  • Strategic Guidance: With the advisor’s help, Kip’s team implemented strategies that supported their rapid growth, and they put in place the necessary leadership layers to handle the expansion.
  • Team Alignment: The advisor helped the leadership team come together and work toward a unified vision, making it easier to make decisions and build a stronger company culture.

Outcomes

Since bringing in the advisor, CR Structures has seen some great results:

  • Major Revenue Growth: Their revenue has skyrocketed in the past two years, and the advisor’s support was key in helping them navigate and manage that growth.
  • Stronger Leadership Team: With focused development, the leadership team has become more confident, effective, and empowered to take the business to the next level. that growth.
  • Better Client Service: With the right leaders in place, Kip can focus on empowering his team, knowing that they’re better prepared to take care of clients and drive the company’s success.
