SCALE is like a personal trainer.  The results happen so much faster when someone guides you rather trying to get it done alone.  Perhaps because they are not caught up in the day-to-day running of our business, they think more about strategy, then get buy-in, then help us execute change.  They are not consultants, as they don’t just give you a laundry list of what you should do.  They feel like members of the company, executives, who do the necessary detail work to effect change.  If you want to grow and be more profitable by working smarter instead of faster, they can get you there.  They are there for the long term, increasing accountability, efficiency, and ultimately EBITDA far beyond their cost.
