"Working with David has changed my vision, pathway and self-belief. I've employed coaches before — good ones who really understood me — but in 20 years of running my own business, no one has given me the clarity and confidence that David has in just two months. If you are a small business owner seeking a viable plan and a guide to get you there, I encourage you to contact David."

Case Studies

Director, NJG Building Solutions, Welwyn Garden City

The Challenge

Neil was taking on most work that came in regardless of fit or margin. Time was being consumed by the wrong jobs, owner pay wasn't where it needed to be, and there was no clear picture of which customers the business should be targeting or what it should be charging.

The Solution

Working through the Lockgate Method gates, Neil established his Life Number and financial targets, defined the type of work and customers NJG Building Solutions should be focused on, and started building a clearer market position with pricing that reflected the value being delivered.

Results

  • 200% increase in pipeline and quotes
  • Stopped chasing low-value work and became significantly more selective about job fit
  • Clearer financial goals and a stronger market position to build from
