Due Diligence

Marketing & sales assessments

Identify Red Flags

Before any acquisition, meticulous due diligence is paramount to success. Tapping a growth executive with industry experience to assess the target company’s commercial operations and market position helps identify any red flags that may lurk beneath the surface.

Early Post-Acquisition

Kick-start value creation

Operationalize Quickly

Once an acquisition is finalized, the immediate post-acquisition phase sets the stage for growth. Here, the experience of marketing and sales experts is invaluable. For instance, pinpointing which go-to-market strategies to prioritize.

 

Mid-Investment

Align go-to-market & scale growth

Overcome Stalled Growth

As the investment matures, the focus shifts to scaling operations and embedding accountability. Our strategic operators offer a unique blend of strategic insight and hands-on operational knowledge, ensuring that all strategies are effectively implemented.

Pre-Exit

Optimize cost & post-exit narrative

Show Enterprise Value

In the twilight of a PE investment, the narrative shifts to positioning the company for a lucrative exit. Chief Outsiders' Growth Gears™ methodology offers a structured approach to ensure the company's growth narrative is compelling and backed by tangible results.
