ABOUT SUCCESSGPS

SuccessGPS helps you define the destination, build the plan, and make sure it happens.

You’ve built a good business. You can feel there’s more in it. But somewhere between the ambition and the day-to-day, the direction has become unclear.

Priorities compete. Decisions get revisited. Your leadership team is capable, but they’re not pulling together around a shared plan. And too much of the thinking still lands on your desk.

That’s the gap. The business has grown, but the brand, the message, and the marketing haven’t kept pace. You end up competing on price when you should be competing on value. Losing work to businesses you know you’re better than. Sounding like everyone else in a market that’s already too noisy.

That’s where SuccessGPS starts.

WHAT CHANGES

Imagine your leadership team sat around a table, and for the first time in years, everyone is clear on the same destination.

Not a vague aspiration. A destination they helped define, that they believe in, with a route they each own a part of delivering.

That’s what SuccessGPS produces.

Developed over eight years and tested with more than 450 businesses, it’s a 12-month programme that does three things. It helps you get honest about where the business is today. It helps you define where you want it to be. And it gives you a structured, owned, measurable plan to close the gap.

The first eight weeks are where the shift happens. Your leadership team works through a structured process that surfaces the truth about the business — the numbers, the feelings, the opportunities being missed, the frustrations nobody has said out loud — and turns that into a clear destination, a practical route, and a focused set of priorities with names against them.

Most boards don’t lack intelligence. They lack the time and structure to think together properly. SuccessGPS provides both.

Client Results

The results speak for themselves

Working with SUMMIT has been a genuinely valuable part of our journey. We see them very much as an extension of our team rather than an external coach.
Over the past 18 months we have seen revenue increase and our gross margin has improved. This hasn’t come from one single change, but from improved strategic planning, better preparation and clearer focus.

David Doughty, Managing Director

Strategic Accountable Decisive

Love the guys at SUMMIT. When you work with them you really feel as though they care about you and your business. Very relational and very knowledgeable. SUMMIT have transformed how we’re perceived in the market, our marketing and creative consistently make us stand out in a noisy crowd, driving real business results through strong case studies and testimonials that resonate with our target audience.

Marc McLoughlin, MD/Chief Orca

Team Alignment Focus Positivity

Working with SUMMIT has been revolutionary for our business. The team have helped us to develop our skills in business and people management, build a strong value proposition, and develop a clearly defined roadmap to get us to our five year goal. By sharpening our brand and messaging we have already seen huge impact specifically with our key suppliers who now consider us as a major part of the future success in the UK market.

Will Doherty, Founder & Managing Director

Life Changing Clarity

Working with SUMMIT was great from start to finish. It made us think clearly about our clients and how to position ourselves in the market. The rebrand and positioning above competitors gained new clients and more work with existing ones, driving a 15% increase in profit and 30% boost in visibility. The feedback on our rebrand, including new logo, strapline, van signage and website, has been amazing and definitely secured new business.

Anthony Hamlett, Director

Vision Worth Perfect Client

We partnered with SUMMIT to improve our marketing efforts, and the experience exceeded our expectations. Their team was strategic, responsive, and genuinely invested in our success. Since working with them, we’ve had lots of traction regarding new clients and a genuine interest in the business model. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any business looking to grow.

Increased Sales New Customers Impact

Since working with SUMMIT we’re now a focussed, professional Senior Leadership Team, leading our business with a clear understanding of what it has to offer, a plan we’re all bought in to, energy, momentum and confidence. I’m staggered by the growth we’ve achieved this year and the quality of work, year 1 we grew sales by 13.2%, in Year 2 we’re a further 38.6% up. It’s extraordinary what can be achieved if everyone is pulling in the same direction.

Transformational Energising Enjoyable

“An engineering company’s leadership team went from pulling in different directions to working from a shared plan everyone was bought into. Sales grew 13.2% in year one and a further 38.6% in year two.”

“An architecture practice doubled turnover and profit year on year once they had the clarity to focus their effort where it created the most impact.”

“A private aviation business saw its directors move from avoiding difficult decisions to owning them. Margin improved through stronger pricing confidence and a structured approach to pipeline.”

“A managed IT company doubled turnover, shifted from a transactional culture to one built on long-term partnerships, and went on to achieve a successful exit.”

“At a professional services firm, the founder stepped out of being the bottleneck in every decision and into strategic leadership, with a team that understood their roles and delivered against the plan.”

“At another business, something harder to measure but just as valuable happened. SUMMIT’s confidence in the business became the leadership team’s confidence in their own business. Direction became clear. Decisions became easier. Momentum followed.”

SuccessGPS doesn’t impose answers. It helps leaders surface what they already knew, structure it properly, and commit to making it happen.

Is this where you are?

You don’t need SuccessGPS because something is broken. You need it because the business has outgrown the way it’s currently being led.

You might recognise some of this: your leadership team is busy but not fully connected around a shared direction. Growth has stalled or become inconsistent. Roles blur and overlap. Culture hasn’t kept pace with what the business has become. You know there’s more in it, but you can’t see the route from where you’re standing.

Or maybe it’s simpler than that. Maybe you just don’t have a plan that everyone understands, believes in, and is working towards. And you’re ready to fix that.

The programme runs for 12 months: an intensive eight-week strategy phase followed by ten months of support to make sure the plan becomes progress.
