After about the first session heading into the second, the real thing that came out of it for me were two focuses that have reshaped the business for us. Number one, who we were selling to. Where were we creating the greatest market value? We were selling to the provider side. To this day, that was the single most influential pivot we made as a company. That shift took us about three years to execute. And we just received approval this year to go forward with a nationwide rollout. Number two was an identification of a key metric to our business. We thought it was how good we did the exam. What we learned, is that it was the ability to engage the patient and get their psychology in line to be able to accept our opportunity for an exam. We’re very appreciative.
It was SO much more valuable than we had imagined! From the first session to the last, Jill and I were frantically capturing all the fantastic guidance we received from the panel. This was immensely practical advice from seasoned executives who have been there, done that – advice that we could put to use immediately, with immediate improvement of customer pursuits and cash flow. Our sincere appreciation to all the panel members who invested their time and effort to listen to our challenges and opportunities, and provided us with such outstanding guidance and feedback. I am confident it will make an impact and difference in the trajectory of DeepTarget.
What brought me to Netweavers was a really bad experience..an international VC firm..tried to distress my company to a point of insolvency and forced me out of my own business. And then I started fighting back.
CEO Netweavers was able to provide help. It was a sounding board that I could go to once a month, once a week, whenever I needed it, to access those resources, that intellectual capital, that was required to overcome that obstacle and get rid of my investors permanently. After forcing the investors into a corner saying, “Look, you’ve wasted all this money. You’ve misappropriated millions of dollars worth of funds. Now I need to take the business back and grow it into what I know I can do.” And that support from CEO Netweavers, and the backing, and really the backbone, gave me the confidence to overcome that obstacle.
Many of us are heavily involved in day to day operations, and this is what has made the business successful; however there comes a point when you cannot grow further without removing yourself from that environment. Inflection Point gave me some great insight on how to do that so that I could focus on processes, personnel, and new ideas for the company. They also helped me align my personal and business goals to create a clear path forward and provide better work/life balance. I appreciate all the advice I received and I look forward to helping others with this process!
