Navigating challenges together
Is running the business causing you to lose sight of why you started it to begin with? At Wingman Associates, we come alongside to help you identify and focus on what matters most. It’s what a true Wingman does!
Why partner with us?
Regardless of economic, social, or political factors, you are constantly challenged with…
Increasing revenue and business development
Retaining and acquiring new customers
Improving operational efficiency
Wingman Associates offers a unique approach to these concerns, collaborating with you to:
Develop scalable ideas and fresh options
Review organizational efficiency
Assess current value proposition
Provide individual or team coaching
Identify solutions to ongoing challenges
Why we are different
Our approach is tailored to meet your needs. We want to invest in you upfront, with no meter running, until we agree on the right course of action—together. We work with you and your team, side by side, through implementation of any changes. That’s a true Wingman.
Do any of these questions keep you up at night?
Is my idea or product still relevant?
What may need to change to improve results?
Who can I go to for honest, transparent feedback?
Am I winning or losing lately? Why?
Who can I partner with to help facilitate the changes I need to make?
Who will be my Wingman?
In a nutshell, this is what Wingman Associates does. Based on decades of successful sales growth, market analysis, optimizing operational efficiency, ROI examination and people management at all levels, Wingman Associates brings real experience to your team.
Has your past experience with consultants been less than stellar? Instead of charging early and often, assessing and presenting recommendations and leaving you to complete any changes, Wingman Associates spends more time upfront. If together we see a good fit, then we commit to being your Wingman until the right solutions are found, changes are implemented and results are seen.
How it works
Together, we look at the current operational and financial challenges and compare those to your business plan and objectives. What needs to change? Why? We start high and work our way down into the details together.
Starting High
What is your Why?
It seems simple, but often it is the first thing we lose. We get too busy, too distracted and become externally reactive. What is your why? Why does the company exist? Do all the employees know and understand how their roles align to the organization’s needs?
What has changed?
Employees? Your customer base? Maybe the value of your products or services? Possibly other factors out of your control? You went from Great Idea, to starting a business, to obstacles and detour signs. What are the complicating factors and how do you move through or around them, all while keeping the culture and the “WHY” intact?
How efficient are you?
Where might you be losing time, money or both? How quickly do you adapt? Markets and customers are changing all the time. Are you changing with them?
These are just a few of the many questions and topics we’ll consider as we partner together. I look forward to connecting with you and discussing all of this in more detail to determine what the right course of action may look like, so you can refocus on your original vision and goal.
Partnership with Wingman Associates has enabled MCS to unlock incredible potential in our growth as a group counseling practice. Mikes' abilities to analyze and organize our complex business model and develop a strategy for us going into 2021 and beyond, has been incredibly helpful and transformative for our business.
