Townsend Building Supply
“We’d had some success, but it felt very labored and harder than it needed to be. We were constantly frustrated and feeling like we had to go back and cover the same ground. We needed a way to get some traction in our business…. Something that would provide accountability and structure, so we could achieve our goals with less effort.
Swann’s Furniture & Design
“We’ve been in business since 1895. Being the fifth generation carries some weight. We’ve been in the community for so long… Having the pressure not to screw this up is very real, but we take a lot of pride in it… I wanted to carry the ball forward and make this something even better than it was.
Being an old family business, one of the challenges is that you have problems and stories that are sometimes multi-generational. Being able to get perspective and figure out how to really advance into a better way of doing things is vital.
We came to Exit Momentum not from a place of desperation, but because we needed someone to help us figure out how to handle our really chaotic, fast growth without burning everything down in the process… I also look at this business as a stewardship and want everyone who works here to have their life improve measurably.
Going through this process has allowed us to wrap the business around our team in a way that makes running the business more enjoyable, more manageable, and more fun. We’re not dealing with the same fires over and over. The business is just really dialed in. It’s not even the same business anymore.”
Stuart & Company
“We had no structure in our planning process… This operating system has given us a venue to discuss and set our goals weekly and quarterly. We now know who needs to solve what problems, and what the process will be behind that. It’s really helped to reduce confusion.
You want to make sure your efforts give you your best possible chance to win… but in the back of our minds, we knew other companies were doing things better than we were doing. It added another layer of stress and a feeling that we weren’t leading our market.
We’re a young company, but Exit Momentum was a breath of fresh air. The energy in our business has completely shifted, now it’s almost like we’re walking on clouds.”
Spencer Pest Services
“Almost four years ago, I brought my daughter on to help run the day-to-day operations and work on strategic coaching and leadership, but it felt like she and I were doing everything… We wanted to get the leadership team doing more and working more together versus me driving and trying to get everything done … [After working with Exit Momentum], we’re able to address issues and create action items—and I don’t have to be part of it. As the owner, that frees me up to be more of a visionary, work on other things, or just have more free time … Getting this outside influence and outside opinion has been extremely beneficial.”
Highland Wealth
“We didn’t understand who was doing what well and how to grow with the structure that we had put in place… As you grow a business and a team, it comes with a lot of dynamics. Managing people was a big challenge. We’d have a great idea but it would never get implemented… This work has made a world of difference in all facets of our business. We speak differently, we have much more confidence, we know exactly who we need to hire for which seats, and we’re able to see how well they’re doing based on clear data and metrics… I don’t know how we were doing this beforehand.”
Design Pickle
“Being a startup, we’re so used to constantly pivoting and really having that shiny object syndrome. Projects would get dropped because we were constantly bouncing around to the next thing… We’d tried other management systems, but there was nothing we could all get behind… There were so many different times where we had different goals across departments, and that doesn’t work.
Our growth was pretty crazy early on. We went from each person wearing a million hats, to having this team of specialists—but we didn’t know how to manage them. It felt like we weren’t doing justice to our team members… We needed to adopt some kind of system for everyone to operate and communicate in a cohesive way.
Our leadership team is really excited about the changes we’ve made… What the company wants to accomplish in the next 3, 5, 10 years is now really clear… We finally have clarity in our roles… There’s way less anxiety and we feel comfortable thinking years in advance.
Our firm belief is that this only worked because we didn’t try to do it ourselves. We invested in implementation with Exit Momentum. They held us accountable. We had coaching resources. We weren’t just trying to wing it. That’s made the biggest difference… Having someone there to walk you through it and get your team all on the same page is so valuable for the whole team. Having Exit Momentum in the room was critical.”
International Granite & Stone
“Last year, we became a $20M revenue company, and we just kept throwing people at problems. Profitability hurts when you do that. We saw a lot of waste and loss just through mistakes.
We also needed to focus more on the culture and the employees… Before, there wasn’t a lot of involvement with employees. Leadership would just make decisions and people didn’t really know what was going on…
Now, we’ve had employees go from always showing up 30 minutes late, to showing up 30 minutes early and kicking butt… This program has helped us tighten up on production, cleanliness, safety, schedules, and every part of our process… People are now able to solve problems at a managerial level… Since moving to this new structure, we’ve become much more efficient and productive. We’re making fewer mistakes, which saves us a lot of money and puts more right into our bottom line.”
Branded Bills
“We’re now operating as a company rather than a startup business… We’ve not only seen explosive growth, but we’re really set up to scale to the next level.
Before, everybody was doing 10 different things and we weren't’ doing it well… There was a lack of structure, people wearing too many hats, we had no ability to manage all the different things that go into a business…
Now, we’re really planning. We’re managing people effectively. It’s made our lives easier and let us put the focus back on why we started this business.”
Wake Up Warrior
“I wanted to work with [Exit Momentum] because of the stability and clarity with which they look at things, and their ability to help us see around corners we couldn’t see. We’re a $20M company, so this isn’t a small thing … If you’re a businessman and you need tactical, execution-based, bridge-building support, I can tell you with zero hesitation that I back Cullen Talley & Exit Momentum.”
Deckmaster & Buildmaster
“We met when we were 18 years old and we’ve always been entrepreneurs… [In our last business], we really hit burnout mode and felt like everything kept coming back on us. When we came back into business a few years later, we knew we had to do business differently… We knew we had to have employees, which has been an amazing adventure. Our first year, we predicted that we were going to do $1 Million and ended up doing $3 Million—which was a great surprise, but it put us on a path that we didn’t really know what to do with.
What surfaced back up again was that feeling of burnout. Of not having enough time in the day. We couldn’t break through because we just didn’t have the capacity… We didn’t know how we were going to handle our growth past this point…
[Working with Exit Momentum] was like using a sniper rifle to hit a target, as opposed to trying to hit it with a shotgun. We’re so much more dialed in now… You get a whole different level of maximization… I’m seeing a whole different level of responsibility and accountability with our team. We’re doing less than we’ve ever done and getting way more accomplished, because we’re focusing where we should be and not on all the little fringe stuff… We’re so much more focused in terms of where we actually need to take responsibility.”
