OUR SILVER PROGRAM
This is best for companies with small budgets that have an established product-market fit with sales of $500K+ and no more than three managers. See our Gold program here if your company is larger.
As a growth partner we will find and eliminate growth limiters and align your management team, language, culture, models while also expanding your vision and adding many tools, systems and rare experience.
The AirTight Management Silver program includes:
- Analysis to determine key growth limiters. Normally completed in 7-10 days.
- Development of an enhanced growth plan to at least triple, and ideally 8X, the company’s value in two to three years. This includes enhancing your current strategic plan that may add markets, products or more.
- Coaching to implement this plan and processes to scale that includes:
a) Training for all managers to create a higher perfomance culture and teams
b) One-on-one coaching to help managers to implement proven best practices
c) Licensed intellectual property without any royalties or additional fees
d) Project management
e) Group coaching calls for team and/or participation in staff meetings as appropriate
f) Limited consulting to properly implement the above goals
4. Implementation of System #2 Performance Accountability and Merit System (PAMS) to improve culture, morale, performance and perfect team communications to improve team dynamics, trust and mutual support. Typically done during weeks 2 to 8 with ongoing practice and coaching after.
The Silver Program includes a comprehensive management team training program (Learning & Development), which is always required to scale so you can promote from within. And is also requested by 75% of employees and a frequent reason for leaving their job when training is not available.
To scale at 25%+ CAGR you need to constantly up level your team, processes and systems to prevent dilution of knowledge and constant firefighting. This is working “on” the business, “ahead of the curve”, and “right seats on the bus”.
Every company is different, but every company also needs the same things to enable growth.

In building First Call Corporation, Bob Norton, was my secret weapon in getting a really audacious job done not only on time and under budget, but done so well that it revolutionized how equity sales was done on Wall Street. His abilities to understand complex requirements, to synthesize elegant solutions, and then to manage a team to get it done, are still the best I’ve ever seen.
