Seminar Description:
Build a Valuable Company that generates wealth for everyone on your team and is run so well, you can buy the best companies in your market ... or let them try to buy you. In this Power Session, you will learn how to build your own Green Company Growth Blueprint for maximum efficiencies, profits, and valuation from Green Industry Hall of Famer Judith Guido, who has built some of the most valuable companies in the Green Industry and has been involved in over 100 Mergers & Acquisitions.
Too many company owners and their teams operate season-to-season instead of value-to-value. The results: long, hard days, burnt-out employees & owners, inefficient processes, and never enough profits to reward your team or yourself or grow your company. If you’re all working so hard, why aren’t you all better off and making more money?
After working with and building great companies for 30 years, I’ve learned that the companies that command the highest valuations, have the strongest teams, and are the most productive and rewarded don’t look different on the outside, they run differently on the inside. You can have strong revenue but weak value, and busy owners and teams but stalled growth that then become mediocre companies that never become great.
In this high-energy power session, industry strategist and Green Industry growth expert Guido shares the frameworks and real-world lessons of 30 years in the industry and what it takes to become an industry value leader in your market, including insights from more than 100 green industry mergers, acquisitions and company sales across maintenance, irrigation, design-build, tree-care, and outdoor living businesses.
Bring your team and learn how to build a company that is:
• Unique enough to attract, retain, and reward employees and customers
• Profitable enough to acquire market-leading companies
• Efficient & Scalable enough to grow beyond the owner
• Valuable enough to command premium multiples when you exit
This session will reveal the strategic, operational, financial, people, and cultural moves that separate companies that work hard from companies that become highly valuable assets.
Learning Objectives:
1. Focus on the 4 Fundamentals of Business Growth
2. Learn How to Read Your Markets
3. Think like investors while running your company
4. Build efficient high payoff systems that scale beyond owners & rewards teams
5. Avoid the hidden traps that limit growth
