Cultivate Advisors Helps Silicon Signs Grow and expand While Helping Owner Gain More Work-Life Balance

Chase Dalton, the CEO of Silicon Signs, faced a significant challenge when attempting to scale his business. He struggled to establish the right structure and team to enable seamless growth without overburdening himself with technical or managerial responsibilities.

To address these challenges, Chase and his advisor developed a plan and implemented the following solutions:

• Hiring Key Personnel: Chase recognized the need for strong leadership within the organization. He hired a General Manager (GM) to oversee day-to-day operations, a Production Manager to streamline manufacturing processes, and a Sales Manager to drive revenue growth.
• Advisor's Involvement: Chase's advisor played a critical role in the transformation. The advisor assumed the Sales Manager role for a period of six months, providing hands-on guidance and expertise to model the sales process effectively.

The implemented solutions led the company to overcome challenges, achieve remarkable growth, maintain profitability, and establish a more balanced and enjoyable work environment. 

• Improved Work-Life Balance: With the new team in place, Chase regained control over his work-life balance. He was no longer burdened with the need to handle every technical and managerial aspect of the business.
• Prevention of Burnout: The new structure prevented Chase from feeling overwhelmed or heading toward burnout.
• Revenue Growth: Silicon Signs experienced impressive growth, with a 33% increase in revenue.
• Profitability: Despite the investments in personnel and expansion, the company managed to maintain a healthy profit margin, with a 27% profit increase.
• Physical Expansion: The success of the new structure and team allowed Silicon Signs to expand its headquarters to a second building and open a second location to help increase operational capacity.


The collaboration between Chase Dalton, his advisor, not only addressed the initial challenges of scalability but helped propel Silicon Signs to new heights. The successful restructuring and team building not only resulted in impressive financial gains but also enhanced the overall quality of Chase's professional and personal life.
