Facing Challenges Alone

Through his sports field consulting business, Ryan DeMay helps clients design, build, and manage sports fields for little leagues and parks all the way up to high schools, colleges, and professional teams. However, when he first came to Consulting Success, he was dealing with some distinct challenges to the growth and profitability of his business. In particular, he was struggling to create consistent messaging around his offers. As Ryan put it, “We struggled trying to figure out what our offer really was and then create messaging that would strategically and best represent it.”

He was also at the stage of starting to scale his consulting business, and he anticipated some growth challenges in the near future. Since his consultancy was very small, Ryan had faced a lot of the challenges and was unsure where to turn to for help. Indeed, one thing that drew him to Consulting Success, he says, “was just knowing that I wasn’t alone, that there were other people who had dealt with these struggles.”

Finding Peers and Personal Connection

While looking for help, Ryan came across the Consulting Success website, which led him to our podcast. From there, he says, “I dove right in. I listened to the podcast for a year and a half before finally deciding to reach out.” When he finally got involved in our Clarity Coaching program, he found the camaraderie that he was looking for. “The best thing about the program,” he says, “was the personal connection with my coach. I can tell he definitely believes in me, and he’s always trying to see the positive while being honest with me.”

Through constructive feedback, an outside perspective, and the talent and experience of his coach and others, Ryan was able to improve and clarify his offer and messaging. He gained access to Consulting Success’s vast knowledge base and a lot of new tools for growing his business.

Additionally, he found tremendous value in the private Clarity coaching forum, where he could share his experiences and be vulnerable with other coaches and consultants; and ask questions to get help overcoming the challenges he had while scaling his consulting business. Ryan now has a whole community of peers from around the world to provide encouragement and ideas.

Resources to Help You Succeed

Ultimately, through what he learned at Consulting Success, Ryan was able to put together a compelling discovery offer that helped him establish rapport with prospective clients, which enabled him to win more clients and solve their problems faster and more efficiently. His messaging became far more effective, and he learned how to scale his business. Within a few months of joining the Clarity Coaching Program, he had doubled his revenue, grown his staff, brought in more clients, and found that his existing clients were happier than ever.

“At Consulting Success,” Ryan says, “you’re going to learn from people who are driven and smart. They have a vast knowledge base and a forum that will answer your most pressing questions. And all of those people, that knowledge, and those resources are there to help you succeed.”
