We build your growth machine in 12 weeks

We systematically improve 12 metrics across your customer journey. Each 10% improvement compounds with the others - that's how you get 214% growth instead of just 10%. Fixed price, everything built in HubSpot, full handover to your team.

Pilot

Build

We build the growth machine, then hand it over

We work with B2B companies that have product-market fit and want to scale systematically. You have a team doing sales and marketing, but growth feels scattered. We help you build a system that compounds (and yes, we work with your existing team, freelancers or agency).

Phase 1: Pilot

One week to get complete clarity on your growth and see proof that this works. You'll know exactly where you're stuck, which opportunities to prioritise, and what the next 90 days should look like.

Outcome

Expert view on where growth is stuck

Get a clear diagnosis of what's blocking your growth, a funnel audit by an expert, and a prioritised list of 10 quick wins.

Proof that this approach works

We build one quick win from the list, to how you how fast we can get things done. If possible, we'll A/B test it to get a data-driven outcome which works best. You see tangible results, instead of a slidedeck.

Clarity on the path forward

Your team learns how the growth system works and you get a roadmap for the next 90 days based on our findings.

Ewoud has helped me well in identifying the biggest challenges of my business. By listening carefully and asking the right questions, I realized that the biggest 'problems' I thought were hindering growth are not the issue.

Max Savonije

Max Savonije

Founder

The Growth Session with Ewoud was a confirmation for our marketing team about the direction we're taking. Next to that, Ewoud gave the team an outsider perspective that was sharpening our focus and execution.

Peter-Paul de Leeuw

Peter-Paul de Leeuw

CEO

Ewoud is a smart guy and a great sparring partner. He adds the most value in solving growth challenges in an abstract way and in unravelling the principles behind the problem. In this way, Ewoud helps to structure growth and finds growth opportunities.

Olaf Arkauer

Olaf Arkauer

Co-founder

You now have clarity on what's broken and proof we can fix it. We've identified your infrastructure gaps, built one quick win, and mapped the next 90 days. Your team understands the growth machine framework. In the next phase, we build the growth machine.

Phase 2: Build

In 12 weeks, we build your growth machine and hand it over to your team. You own the system, not rent it from us. Your team learns the methodology while we build, so they can run and improve it independently after we're done.

Outcome

One week to get complete clarity on your growth and see proof that this works. You'll know exactly where you're stuck, which opportunities to prioritise, and what the next 90 days should look like.

Six months of work in 12 weeks

We don't build one thing, wait, then build the next. We work on demand generation, marketing funnel, sales pipeline, and customer value at the same time. This compresses what could take six months into twelve weeks.

We improve every step of your customer journey

We work on all parts of your growth system: from first website visit to contract renewal. Each 10% improvement compounds with the others. That's how you get 214% growth instead of just 10%.

Your team can run it without us

Everything we build lives in HubSpot with clear documentation and training videos. Your team watches us work and learns the logic behind each decision. After handover, they can maintain and improve the system themselves.

How we build it

We work on four parts of your business simultaneously. Each gets dedicated strategy, build work, and handover training. Customer research happens first to inform everything we build.

Demand generation

Build your channel strategy and optimise each channel, so you grow traffic strategically without burning budget.

Demand generation
What we will do

Channel plan and budget

Analyse which channels drive revenue and build a 12-week plan that concentrates budget where it compounds over time.

Ad creative testing

Set up frameworks to audit creative, copy, and messaging. Small improvements stack into better clicks and lower costs.

Landing page conversion redesigns

Redesign key landing pages to convert more traffic without needing more visitors. Better conversion multiplies results downstream.

Channel selection by growth stage

Know which channels to use at each phase. Stop guessing where to allocate budget and when to activate new channels.

Marketing funnel

Your website, email flows, and remarketing all work together like a mousetrap. Build clear landing pages that convert, automation that nurtures leads, and a machine that drives discovery calls without you chasing people. Stop leaking leads halfway through.

Marketing funnel
What we will do

Lead capture systems

Reduce form fields and build multi-step forms that capture more leads without friction or dropoff keeping prospects engaged.

Lead nurture email sequences

Build automated sequences that educate and qualify leads. By the time sales calls, prospects are interested and ready.

Optimised booking flow

Optimise booking flow, set up reminder automation, and build confirmation sequences that get more meetings scheduled consistently.

Lead scoring setup

Configure scoring that identifies which leads are ready to talk to sales and which need more nurturing first.

Sales pipeline

Your sales pipeline works exactly like a marketing funnel, you just need to know how to optimise it. Build the assets that help your team close: proposals that win, workflows that keep deals moving, and materials that answer objections before they kill opportunities.

Sales pipeline
What we will do

Discovery call scripts

Build call structure and question banks that help your team run better discovery calls and qualify prospects consistently.

Proposal templates that close deals

Create modular proposal templates with strong positioning. Clear structure that answers objections before prospects ask them.

Pricing page and value presentation

Design branded pricing presentation with value justification framework that makes the decision easier for prospects on the fence.

Sales sequences and follow-up automation

Build automated follow-up flows that keep deals moving. Nurture prospects between calls so opportunities don't go cold.

Customer value

Acquiring customers is expensive. Keeping them is where margins improve. What would happen if none of your customers left? Build feedback loops, long-term relationships, retention programmes that reduce churn, and upsell frameworks that grow account value without being pushy.

Customer value
What we will do

Client onboarding that creates loyalty

Design onboarding experiences that activate clients quickly and keep them happy. First impressions determine long-term relationships and retention.

Retention strategy to reduce churn

Identify best clients and rebuild approach to attract more like them. Stop taking anyone who pays money.

Upsell and cross-sell strategy

Build frameworks that identify opportunities and action them. When clients are ready for more, your team knows what to offer.

Pricing increase tactics

Analyse pricing structure and create implementation plan for increases. Grow account value without feeling pushy or aggressive to clients.

Ewoud is a real expert: solid, step-by-step foundations for growth, taught and delivered with clarity! The fact that he's helped a lot of different types of businesses grow, in different niches, with different types of marketers and founders, over a sustained period of time, is reflected in the course. Would recommend to anyone that wants to learn and understand the process of how to grow any online business reliably.

Phase 3: Optimise

This phase is optional. If you want ongoing support to keep optimising and accelerating results, I join as your fractional Head of Growth. You get senior expertise without the full-time hire, strategic guidance every quarter, and weekly support when your team gets stuck.

Outcome

Align growth with business priorities

Quarterly strategy sessions keep your marketing and sales focused on what drives revenue. No more wasting budget on vanity metrics or campaigns that don't ladder up to business goals.

Catch underperforming campaigns early

Monthly performance reviews spot what's not working before you burn another month. We kill losing experiments, shift budget, and double down on what's actually working.

Get unstuck fast

Weekly Q&A for practical issues. Stuck on ad targeting? Unsure how to structure a test? What to do with that landing page? Quick answers so your team doesn't waste days figuring it out alone.

The critical and structured way of working with Ewoud is very valuable for creating the right growth plan for our company. Experience, passion and a 'let's go' mentality is exactly what we needed.

FAQ

How do I know if this is right for us?

Book a discovery call. We'll discuss your situation, I'll explain how I work, and we'll figure out if it makes sense. If it's not a fit, I'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.

Do I need to buy all phases?

No. The Pilot stands alone and gives you roadmap even if you stop there. Most clients proceed to infrastructure (if needed) then build phase. Optimise phase is optional for teams who want ongoing coaching after build.

What size companies do you work with?

Typically B2B companies doing €500K to €5M in revenue. But I make exceptions if you have strong product-market fit, recent funding, or clear scaling potential. The key question is whether you'll get a strong return on investment. On the discovery call, I'll tell you honestly if I think it's worth it for you.

What does a typical engagement look like?

We always start with a one-week pilot to validate the approach and diagnose your bottleneck. If it's a fit, we move to the 12-week build phase where I set up your growth machine and train your team. After that, you can optionally hire me as your fractional Head of Growth for ongoing optimisation.

Do you work hands-on or do you advise?

Both. I build the infrastructure hands-on, set up tools, run initial experiments, and train your team. But I also advise on strategy, prioritisation, and how to interpret results. You get a working system plus the knowledge to run it independently.

How much time will this take from my team?

Expect meaningful involvement during the build phase. Your team needs to work alongside me to learn the system, contribute to experiments, and take ownership. It's building internal capability, so time investment is essential.

What if we already have an agency?

Both your team and your agency will love this approach. When you have a clear growth system, you give better briefings, make smarter decisions about where to push spend, and see exactly what's working. Your agency gets the clarity they need to deliver better results, and you get full visibility on what drives growth. Everyone wins.

"Before Solid Growth, we worked with our agency but couldn't give them clear direction.

We didn't have visibility on lifetime value or customer acquisition costs, so we left a lot of growth on the table.

After implementing the Solid Growth method, everything changed. We could finally give proper briefings, understood exactly how much we could push campaigns, and saw where the real opportunities were.

Our agency could do much better work because we became a better client—more structured, more data-driven, and clearer on priorities."
