01:44 - Alecia’s ideal client: Typically, the people that I work with. My specialty is going to be the executive teams of fast-growing companies. And those are typically between $5 and $75 million.
02:40 - The problem she helps solve: So a lot of people start a company. You work really, really hard, right? You grow. And that's what you want-- both in size and, hopefully, in profit. And then one day, things just don't work the same way.
04:04 - The symptoms of the problem: So you guys are gonna love this because you can't just say it's a certain revenue mark, and there's no number of employees-- it just varies too much from industry to industry. But there are five really good, reliable signals, right?
05:44 - Clients’ common mistakes before consulting Alecia: They're going to think you can hire their way out of it. Right? I'll just get more people. They can add more cooks to their kitchen without better systems. And they'll spend money on things like software, right?
06:41 - Alecia’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): So if you want to break out of that firefighting, where you're just running around solving problems, here's what I want you to do. It's really super sophisticated. See this? Get a sheet of paper out. Write good on it.
