Business Coaching

“Game-changing. These are a couple of powerful words to describe the result of our relationship with Laseter Business Coaching. Jim has challenged us to understand and focus on our strengths and, as a result, accelerated our company’s growth in ways we couldn’t have imagined.” Jim Cusson, President, Birdsong Gregory

3quarterbodyHow are you showing up each day at work? Are you fully accountable? Organized? Focused? Do you have a clear vision of the future? These are just a few of the things that can be holding you back.

We will help you clarify your vision. Incorporate best business practices. Work on time management. Develop ways to increase revenue and profits. Get you working on the business and not just in it. And most importantly, help you develop as a leader in charge of your destiny!

Our typical coaching engagement includes two sessions per month of about 90 minutes in duration for a minimum of six months. You will also receive unlimited email access and up to one hour of telephone access each month of additional counsel on an as-needed basis.

Business Consulting

“We came to Jim to help us with a very tough problem. Our senior partner wanted to retire but the business was not producing the revenue to afford this option. Jim spent about a week working on this and came back to us with some highly creative options. His strength in consulting clearly comes from his own experience dealing with these types of issues as an owner.” Managing Partner, Regional Marketing Company

    New Business Review

    “Jim is a master at new business pitches and strategy. In the heat of the battle, it is easy to lose our perspective. Jim helps us focus our pitch like a laser on the right things instead of the wrong things.” John DeVaney, partner, Devaney Powers Marketing

    It is not uncommon for firms to invest over a hundred hours in a new business pitch. Additionally, the effort can divert the firm’s focus for weeks from its most important activity — client work.

    The “win rate” for new customer sales presentations is typically less than 20% for most firms. Simply put, we will focus on improving these odds for you by reviewing a prepared presentation or helping you create a high-impact new presentation.
