I recommend Jonathan York to any entrepreneur who is prepared to answer the hard, but necessary, questions about his/her business in order to take the venture to the next level. He tells it like it is—I appreciated his honesty and his experience. He helped me clarify my vision, identify the best markets, and determine next steps so my big dream continues to become reality.

Our Services

THE FAST-TRACK STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS is a fixed-time, fixed-fee process for companies that want to grow but can't afford to spend the time or money on open-ended, theoretical, and "consultant-like" strategic planning. This is not your father's strategic planning, but a time-limited and work-oriented program that gives you a true plan of action.

THE INVESTMENT READINESS AUDIT is our fixed-time, fixed-fee program designed to rapidly and effectively prepare you for fund-raising. Through interviews with you and your staff, as well as analysis of your existing materials, we'll create a customized plan that outlines an investor strategy and identifies the materials needed for you to successfully secure capital.

INVESTMENT COACHING follows the Investment Readiness Audit and includes helping your company navigate the treacherous waters of raising capital.

THE “PEOPLE AUDIT” AND TEAM-BUILDING process is guided by Jonathan York, a Ph.D. psychologist with over 30 years of business experience. Our methodology combines the best of the worlds of business and organizational behavior. Through interviews with you and your team, and an objective, nonjudgmental analysis of your working environment, we'll design a program and strategy specifically for your needs. This often includes management coaching and mentoring, supportive peer review and assessment processes, and tactical team-building support.

GENERAL GROWTH CONSULTING targets companies who are "stuck" with a review and analysis process that focuses on your sales and marketing strategy. Through our research and discovery methodologies, we'll help you address three key areas of your business to ensure scalability and success:

  1. Market Segmentation

    • Are you serving the right markets?
    • How have you segmented the key markets?
    • How can you anticipate new markets and growth opportunities?

  2. Product Management

    • Are you listening to the market in developing your products?
    • What are your products’ life-cycle expectations?

  3. Sales and Distribution

    • Do you know who your most profitable customers are? Do you have a plan to get more of their business?
    • How are you generating and evaluating leads?
    • Do you have the right sales strategy? Is there a role for indirect sales? Is your sales team up to the challenge?
