Helping Emerging Brands Effectively Scale

My company is an emerging franchise brand looking to enter the growth phase. There is a distinct difference between crawling, walking and running as a company - and we were looking to get to the running phase faster. The issue was that I lacked the experience getting over that hump and I was looking to not learn any painful (or expensive) lessons. I have been burned by consultants before as many are out of the loop, or self righteous. I was extremely fortunate to be introduced to David as he is the direct opposite of those things. David rolls up his sleeves and dives into not only the nuts and bolts of the business - but he makes a purposeful effort to understand the spirit and soul of what makes your business tick. That is so important. David is a gritty, hungry, rock star performer at his core. It is refreshing to interact with someone who is built like this and to share our common interest in applying intensity, urgency and care to what we do on a day to day basis.

We’ve been working with David for a year, as of this writing. What a difference he has made for us! His “official” function is our Fractional CMO. But, he offers so much more. From the wise counsel to me and other leaders on our team. To the encouraging push to accomplish more than we thought we could. He is very focused and goal oriented. He hits his goals and helps us hit ours. We’re very grateful to have him as part of our team and look forward to a long run together and increased responsibilities. I have 100% confidence he will continue to perform with excellence as he tackles new projects for us.

David has a passion for scaling and growth. He loves to get into the business and shake things up, looking for opportunities to bring efficiency or change up the status quo and deliver results. He helped us solve a scalability issue on the franchise administration side of our business as we sought growth and yet had people constraints. Previously we worked together in advancing a missional business platform through C12, with Dave leading our franchise development. Dave is a bull-dog, passionate about people, willing to walk with someone and invest for their change, he'll risk being bold and is a creative leader who appreciates getting the big picture and dialing down to operational pain points equally. Deep faith, great breadth of business and a passion to help others achieve more drives him in whatever he does.

I hired EmmerScale to help scale our emerging franchise brand, using the CEO Coach-To-Scale model. EmmerScale’s process and input has been crucial for fine-tuning the direction of our company, and their focus on our success is impressive. They have a passion and love for serving their clients and it is clearly represented in their work. This goes way beyond simply working with me as a Founder/CEO but also working with my people, and helping us to work on and in the business together. I highly recommend EmmerScale to any emerging franchise brand looking to define and or refine their offering to maximize their ability to effectively scale their brand.

“Fellow business owners! I wanted to share my experiences to date with Mr. David Gullotti. David is urgent yet compassionate, intelligent and has strong emotional intelligence.

David also has a strong balance of sales and operations and has strong core values. If it’s, needing someone to listen all the way too integrating changes David is experienced and has a wide reach of skills to help all sizes of businesses.

I highly recommend David for your business and you can reach out to me any time to connect great people.”

David is a strong leader who can provide vision, direction and focus to any organization. His skills and approach to general business are a one of a kind.

He understands sales and marketing and the implementation to result in growth and success of an organization. He is very strategic and tactical while being a motivational leader to implement successful change and growth.

Meeting David was like hitting the jackpot! I was introduced to David from a friend. I’ve been thanking him ever since.

His proven success allows him to provide experience and amazing feedback to the GYMGUYZ brand. I value everything he has to say. I would recommend David to anyone looking for advice and helping develop a strong foundation.

Finding Dave has been like finding a diamond in a pot of coal. He is everything I have been looking for in business coach. His proven track record in a variety of successful businesses allows him to provide sound, experience based advice and feedback to help me make better strategic decisions. And I am not talking about fluffy, feel good stuff, but very powerful and actionable items.

He is also just easy to connect with which always makes our conversations a pleasure. For others in small to medium sized companies like mine (The Junkluggers), Dave offers a very strong and unique value proposition. Highly recommend!

If you are considering engaging Biz Build Coach to increase your enterprises’ positive impact on the world, I would be glad to speak with you directly about my experience. I almost didn’t say “yes” to this, and that would’ve been a loss for me, my family, and my town. I’ve had a vision of a company 200X what element7concrete currently is – call that Oz. – for more than 8 years. I now finally have a clear “Yellow Brick Road” to follow after a few months with Biz Build Coach. I don’t think I could’ve gotten there in 5 more years without them. So, if I can help you do the same, I’m glad to take the time. You can email me at cory@element7concrete.com with specific questions if I can help you make the world a better place.

It takes a fair amount of personal and professional organization to start and run a successful start-up. I came to know David as a coach at Yale and he was a catalyst in helping me step outside of my comfort zone (coaching and sports) and into entrepreneurial business. His understanding of the personal challenges that confront first time entrepreneurs (and in life), marketing, sales, and brand management in the early stages of building a company were bedrock as I overcame both personal and professional hurdles to grow over time.

We hired David as a consultant to help us grow our start-up franchise concept. He was not only very creative in helping us to identify key prospects and how to market to them but he did it on a boot-strapped budget. David always did over and beyond what we expected and he earned an award from our parent company as the supplier of the year in 1996. Through his out-of-the-box thinking he not only drove retail sales up double digits but he also dramatically increased franchisee leads as well. We thoroughly enjoyed working with a true professional who achieved results through his entrepreneurial spirit and drive. Thanks again David!

David has worked with me in a consultative role in sales and marketing many times over the past 20 years. His passion and commitment to excellence are equaled by his broad based knowledge of the sales and marketing processes and functions. He has great people skills, but also understands the importance of executing on tasks and deliverables.
