A good customer is one you'd happily sign again: fair margin, easy to work with, likely to refer.

What it tells you: A business that grows only through the owner's relationships grows at the speed of the owner's calendar.

02

Which deals keep sliding?

Think of three opportunities that moved to “next month” at least once.

Tick every statement that's true:

What it tells you: Deals that slide rarely mean the buyer lost interest. They usually mean the buyer can't justify the decision inside their own company yet, and nothing you've sent helps them do it.

03

If you stepped away for a month, what would stop?

Picture a month with no calls, no email and no one able to reach you.

Tick everything that would stop or wait for you to come back:

0 of 6 ticked

What it tells you: Every box you ticked is a decision only you can make today. You're not alone: 39% of Canadian small-business owners say their business is too reliant on them for day-to-day operations (CFIB, 2023).

Your score

0/ 15

Tick what's true above and your score appears here.

0 to 4

Growth isn't stuck in one place. Your business carries most of the load without you.

5 to 9

Growth leans on you. It works until your calendar fills, then it stalls.

10 to 15

You are the growth engine, and the engine is at capacity. More tools or more reps won't fix it until the decisions underneath get made.
