Growth Partnership
KSL alongside your business.
An ongoing partnership built around your diagnostic findings: we find the problem that matters now, decide with you what to do, help implement it, then stay for the next one.
Questions first? Talk to KSL on WhatsApp. Not every business needs a partnership: the Diagnostic tells you whether a narrower piece of work would do.

The problems it is for
Problems that span several parts of the business and depend on each other, where a single fix or a one-off report would not hold.
- Cash is tight although sales are growing, and the causes run from pricing to collections.
- Everything still waits for the owner, so the business cannot grow past them.
- Quality and delivery depend on who is on duty, and fixes do not stick.
- The numbers arrive late or are not trusted, so decisions are made on instinct.
- Growth is straining people, systems and cash at the same time.
- Several constraints compete for attention, and it is unclear which to fix first.
Who it is for
A partnership asks something of both sides. It works best with owners who recognise themselves in most of this list. If that is not you yet, start with the Diagnostic or self-coach with the modules.
- You run an operating business, with customers, staff and real operating problems.
- You are serious about solving those problems, not collecting advice.
- You are willing to engage closely, including three physical meetings a month.
- You are willing to implement what is agreed.
- You are open to training where the solution requires it.
- You are willing to invest in solutions when the case is clear.
- You want a stronger business, not generic recommendations.
How priorities become action
The diagnostic findings are the starting agenda. Each priority gets an owner, an agreed change and a measure.
01Confirm the diagnosis
We test the diagnostic findings against records and conversations, and drop anything the evidence does not support.
02Agree what comes first
Using impact, urgency, confidence and dependencies, we agree the one or two priorities for the coming months.
03Design and implement
For each priority: the change, who owns it, the KSL module or tool that supports it, and the date it should be in use.
04Review and move on
Each month we review the measures agreed at the start, check the change held, and choose the next constraint.
What you contribute: time with the KSL consultant, access to records and people, a named owner for each agreed change, and the willingness to implement and to measure honestly.
What it includes
The retainer is for the relationship: close enough to see what is really happening, and staying with it as the business changes.
01Three physical business meetings a month
At your business, with time for diagnosis and growth conversations.
02Scheduled virtual meetings
Strategy and problem-solving between visits.
03Ongoing problem identification
New problems emerge as the business grows. We look for them continuously.
04Priority setting
Deciding with you which problem matters most now, and which can wait.
05Solutioning
The right response: process, people, rules, information, technology, or a combination.
06Implementation support where appropriate
Helping the business put the agreed change into practice.
07Training where required
When the solution depends on people working differently.
08Review of progress and emerging problems
Checking the change held, and finding the next constraint.

Partnership
The partnership begins once both sides have signed the engagement terms.
Pricing follows the diagnosis
Pricing is determined after reviewing your diagnostic and support requirements. The level of support differs from business to business, so the fee is agreed in the engagement terms, not set on this website.
When the diagnosis calls for significant delivery work, it is proposed separately, with its scope and price set by the problem it solves. A system is only proposed when technology, rather than process, people, rules or training, is the right answer.
Scoped and priced separately
- CRM implementation
- ERP implementation
- Custom software and websites
- Reporting systems and automation
- Substantial training programmes
- Other major delivery work
Questions
How is the partnership priced?
It is a monthly retainer, from USD 253/month. The exact fee depends on your diagnostic results and the level of support required, and is agreed in the engagement terms before anything begins.
Does applying cost anything?
No. The application is free and no payment is taken on this website. KSL reviews the application; if there is a fit, we agree the engagement terms with you through a contractual process.
Does the retainer cover implementing systems?
The retainer covers the ongoing relationship: meetings, diagnosis, priorities, solutioning, implementation support and review. Specific delivery work such as a CRM or ERP implementation, custom software or a substantial training programme is scoped and priced separately, according to the problem it solves.
Will every problem be solved?
No business is ever permanently fixed. As it grows, new problems emerge. The partnership exists to find the one that matters most at each stage and help you address it, then the next.
How is this different from module access?
Module access is self-coaching: you buy a module category and work through it yourself. The Growth Partnership is a relationship: KSL works alongside you continuously. You apply for it; it is not bought on this website.
Is every application accepted?
No. A partnership only works where there is a real fit. We review every application and contact you if it is a suitable fit.
