Business Growth Consulting
Break Through the Plateau
Most growing companies do not have a growth problem. They have a constraint problem. AIG's growth consultants find the constraint, design the strategy, and work alongside your team to execute — so the next 2x does not require doubling the headcount.
Business Growth Consulting Services
Six practice areas that cover the full growth stack. From a 2-week diagnostic to a multi-quarter scaling program, we meet you where you are.
Growth Audit and Diagnostic
A 2-4 week diagnostic across 8-12 growth dimensions: positioning, pricing, acquisition, conversion, retention, lifetime value, operational efficiency, and team capacity. You get a written report with the 5-10 highest-leverage changes, sized by impact and time-to-value.
- Positioning and pricing review
- Acquisition channel analysis
- Conversion and retention audit
- Prioritized 90-day roadmap
Revenue and Pricing Strategy
The fastest lever in most businesses is pricing. AIG's pricing work covers packaging, tier design, value-based pricing, discount discipline, and the operational changes that support a price increase. Most clients see 15-30% revenue lift in 90 days from pricing alone.
- Pricing model and tier design
- Packaging and bundling
- Discount governance
- Sales compensation alignment
Marketing System Optimization
Audit and rebuild the marketing engine: SEO, paid acquisition, content, lifecycle, and conversion. AIG's full marketing team executes the rebuild — we are not just strategists, we are the team that ships the work. The result is a marketing system that compounds, not one that requires constant feeding.
- SEO and content strategy
- Paid acquisition and channel mix
- Lifecycle and retention programs
- Conversion rate optimization
Sales Enablement and Pipeline
Rebuild the sales motion: ICP, qualification, sales process, enablement materials, and CRM hygiene. AIG helps you design the pipeline that your marketing and your team can actually fill, and train the team to run it consistently.
- ICP and qualification framework
- Sales process and playbook
- Pipeline metrics and forecasting
- Sales training and certification
Operational Scaling
Growth breaks operations first. AIG helps you redesign the delivery systems, team structure, and operational cadence that lets you scale without breaking. Includes productization of services, AI leverage, and the tooling that multiplies your team's output.
- Service productization
- Delivery systemization
- AI and automation leverage
- Organizational design and hiring
Fractional Growth Leadership
Senior growth, marketing, or operations leadership for companies that need the expertise but not a full-time executive. AIG places fractional leaders who work alongside your team 1-3 days per week to drive the growth program and hire the full-time leader when the time is right.
- Fractional CMO, COO, or CRO
- Embedded 1-3 days per week
- Growth program ownership
- Executive hiring and transition
How an AIG Growth Engagement Works
Three phases. Audit, implement, scale. Measurable outcomes at every checkpoint, not just a final report.
Audit
2-4 week diagnostic. We identify the 5-10 highest-leverage changes, sized by impact and time-to-value. The output is a written report and a 90-day plan your leadership team can act on.
Implement
AIG consultants work alongside your team to execute the priority changes. Pricing, marketing, sales, operations. Hands-on support for the work that has to get done in the next 90 days.
Scale
Build the systems, team, and operational cadence that sustain the growth. Productization, AI leverage, hiring, executive coaching. The work that makes the next 2x possible without doubling the headcount.
Measure
Quarterly business reviews with the leadership team. KPI tracking, ROI reporting, course corrections. Every engagement ends with a clean handoff and the data your team needs to keep growing.
The AIG Difference in Growth Consulting
Most growth consultants hand you a strategy and leave. AIG has the in-house marketing, software, and operations teams to execute the strategy with you.
Diagnose the constraint, not the symptoms
Most growth advice is generic: do more content, do more ads, hire more salespeople. AIG's growth audits find the actual constraint on your business and the highest-leverage change to remove it.
In-house execution teams
When the growth audit says "fix your SEO" or "rebuild your sales CRM" or "automate your onboarding," AIG's marketing, software, and operations teams do the work. No subcontracting, no handoffs.
Pricing first, not last
The fastest lever in most businesses is pricing. AIG's growth engagements almost always start with pricing and packaging work, because a 15-30% revenue lift in 90 days funds everything else.
Growth, then scale, then exit
Whether the goal is sustainable 2x growth, preparation for a strategic exit, or scaling for a capital raise, AIG's growth engagements are designed around the outcome you actually need, not a generic growth program.

The questions leadership teams ask most often when they consider bringing in a growth consultant.
What is business growth consulting?
Business growth consulting is advisory work for companies that are performing but not growing fast enough — or have hit a revenue plateau. AIG's growth consultants diagnose the constraint, design the strategy, and work alongside the team to execute. The work spans revenue strategy, pricing, marketing systems, sales enablement, and the operational backbone that lets a company scale without breaking. Unlike most consulting firms, AIG has the in-house marketing, software, and operations teams to execute the strategy, not just design it.
How is growth different from scaling?
Growing is increasing revenue. Scaling is increasing revenue while maintaining or improving margins, because the systems and infrastructure grow in proportion to demand. Most companies can grow by adding more salespeople, more ads, more hours. Scaling requires redesigning the business: productizing services, systematizing delivery, leveraging AI, and shifting from time-based to value-based pricing. The work is harder but the upside is permanent. AIG's growth engagements are designed to take you from growth to scale, not just grow harder.
How much does business growth consulting cost?
Business growth engagements typically run from $20,000 for a focused growth audit to $200,000+ for a multi-quarter scaling program. Pricing depends on the engagement scope, company size, and whether the work is advisory-only or hands-on execution. AIG scopes every engagement to the revenue impact and ROI we can credibly project. If we cannot build a credible case for 2x+ ROI, we tell you before signing the contract.
What is a growth audit?
A growth audit is a 2-4 week diagnostic of your business across 8-12 dimensions: positioning, pricing, acquisition channels, conversion rates, retention, customer lifetime value, operational efficiency, and team capacity. The output is a written report with a prioritized list of the 5-10 highest-leverage changes, sized by expected impact and time-to-value. The audit alone is useful — most leadership teams learn more from the audit than from a year of internal meetings — and it gives you a clean baseline whether or not you continue with AIG for the implementation.
When should a company hire a growth consultant?
The most common triggers are: revenue has plateaued, growth is below market rate, the team is working harder but not getting better results, the founder is the bottleneck on every decision, or the company is preparing for a major investment, sale, or expansion. A growth consultant is most valuable when the team has the capability but lacks the outside perspective and the priority to step back and redesign. The worst time to hire one is when you have not yet stabilized the business — fix the foundation first, then scale it.
How long does a growth engagement take?
A focused growth audit takes 2-4 weeks. A full scaling program typically runs 6-12 months with quarterly milestones. Most engagements are structured in three phases: audit, implementation, scale. The first measurable outcomes usually appear in 30-60 days; structural revenue impact typically shows up in 90-180 days. We do not believe in 18-month engagements with quarterly deliverables. If the work is not producing measurable outcomes by month 3, we are doing the wrong work.
What is the ROI of growth consulting?
Clients who engage AIG for business growth consulting typically see 2x to 5x ROI within 12 months on the initiatives we prioritize. The biggest gains come from pricing optimization, conversion rate improvements on existing traffic, and retention/lifecycle programs that expand customer lifetime value. Every engagement starts with a quantified baseline and clear success metrics so we know what success looks like before the work begins. If we cannot credibly commit to 2x ROI, we are not the right firm for the engagement.
