## Common Questions About Working with Slight Edge Sales<details><summary><strong>How is working with you different from hiring a traditional consultant?</strong></summary><p>I don’t just give advice—I embed with your team and execute alongside you. While consultants deliver reports and recommendations, I build the systems, train your people, and stick around until the results are measurable. You’re not paying for PowerPoints; you’re paying for revenue growth.</p></details><details><summary><strong>What size businesses do you typically work with?</strong></summary><p>I work with businesses generating $1M-$50M in annual revenue that are serious about scaling. Whether you’re a growing startup hitting operational bottlenecks or an established company with stagnant revenue, if you’re ready to invest in systems that work, we should talk.</p></details><details><summary><strong>How quickly can I expect to see results?</strong></summary><p>Most clients see measurable improvements within 30-60 days. Revenue system fixes often show impact immediately—like plugging obvious leaks in your sales funnel. Larger transformations take 3-6 months, but you’ll see progress markers along the way, not just a big reveal at the end.</p></details><details><summary><strong>Do you work remotely or on-site?</strong></summary><p>Both, depending on what your business needs. I can embed remotely for most revenue system work, but I’ll come on-site when hands-on leadership or team development is required. The goal is results, not face time.</p></details><details><summary><strong>What’s your typical engagement length?</strong></summary><p>Most engagements run 3-12 months, depending on scope. I’m not interested in endless consulting relationships—I want to build systems that work without me. Success means you don’t need me anymore, and your team can execute independently.</p></details><details><summary><strong>How do you measure success?</strong></summary><p>Revenue growth, conversion rate improvements, reduced sales cycle times, and operational efficiency gains. I track the metrics that matter to your bottom line, not vanity metrics that look good in reports but don’t drive business results.</p></details><details><summary><strong>What if my team resists the changes?</strong></summary><p>Change resistance is normal, and I’ve dealt with it before. I focus on quick wins that demonstrate value, involve your team in the solution design, and provide the training and support needed for adoption. When people see results, resistance typically disappears.</p></details><br>
