Scaling Up Coach

Scaling Up 

Why would anyone need a scaling up coach?

Having a Scaling Up Business Coach isn’t an unneeded luxury, it’s a necessity if you want to grow your business beyond a start-up phase.  Accountability is one of the greatest strengths of working with a Business Coach. It’s difficult to get an objective answer from yourself about your business, but your Business Coach will always tell you the truth, even if you don’t want to hear it.

“The most serious mistakes are not being made as a result of wrong answers. The truly dangerous thing is asking the wrong questions.” Peter Drucker

How to effectively motivate employees? What to do to make the best of them do not leave the company? How to convince talented professionals to join our team?

If you ask yourself such questions, it means that your business needs an injection of enthusiasm. Lubię Poniedziałki is an Employee Motivation System created on the Gallup Institute's research to discover and manage talent in the organization. 

Every Manager should ask himself: Do my employees like Mondays? Are they happy to go to work? The answer to these questions and solutions that raise the level of enthusiasm in business is the key to our business - and our passion!

We know that good advice is paved with hell. This is because the advice can give everyone, but effectively implement it can few. That is why we are not a classic consulting company that only offers good advice. We exist to bring about a real change. We do not only talk, but we work with people at every level. We bring the concrete actions that give the feeling of raising the level of enthusiasm in the company. We do not stop improving our solutions, helping to better understand and encourage employee involvement. We have developed a standard for measuring enthusiasm, because "what can be measured can be improved" - Peter F. Drucker.

Scaling Up Coach for tech companies with ambition to become Unicorns!

If you're a busy founder of a fast-growing company, you probably:

- Worry whether you can maintain your current growth rate

- Would like to have more talented A Players on your team

- Hate monitoring everyone's work to ensure targets are met

- Have too many tasks on your plate which should be delegated anyway

- Wonder what to do to have full visibility into what's going on in the business


You might be all 5. You might just be 1.

Why does that matter?

If you:

- Grew your business vastly over the past few years
- Added new clients 
- Added new employees

But you began to realize that current management methods are no longer sufficient. 

Chances are your company's reached the next level of growth and needs new mechanisms to fight barriers to scale.

That’s where The Scaling Up Methodology™ comes in.

The Scaling Up Methodology™ was created for mid-market companies to overcome these challenges and set the basis for sustainable business growth. 

Here are 5 things founders of fast-growing companies have said working with a Scaling Up Coach helps them with:

1. To attract and grow talent
2. To stand out from the competition
3. To increase the valuation of the company
4. To regain time to work “on” instead of “in” the company
5. To create a culture of engagement and satisfaction among team members

Using the Scaling Up framework does all 5 of these and more.

But you don't have time to learn from your mistakes...

You're too busy doing other stuff like, I don't know, running your business.

So what happens now?

I'll implement Scaling Up with you.

I work with fast-growing tech companies with 200-600 employees on board with the ambition of becoming Unicorns! Founders of Forbes 30 under 30, EY Entrepreneur Of The Year, and market leaders in their industries.

That's how powerful Scaling Up is when you use it the right way.

So, your decision is this:

A - Do you want to sit and do nothing and wait for your competition to figure Scaling Up out?

or 

B - Do you want your bold vision to come true with less time and effort but with a bigger impact?

Take your time - let me know which one it is.

A or B.

If you decide B - scroll up to my featured section and click on the 'Scaling Up Application' to apply for me to help you with the Scaling Up framework.

You'll just need to answer a few quick questions, takes 3 mins.

Then I'll be in touch.

Speak soon.

When it comes to CRM systems, there is no one-size-fits-all.

The thing is that very few CRMs available on the market can match a company’s: 

- level of flexibility, automation, and integration 
- unique workflows across teams and departments
- need for real-time data accuracy
- growth plans that demand easy scaling

That’s why the development of a custom CRM is no longer seen by companies as an unnecessary expense. 

In most cases, it’s an investment in the future. 

A CRM tailored to specific business needs and requirements is a game-changer. It doubles productivity and gives teams the tools that finally work for them, not against them.

Are there any benefits making you think about the development of a custom CRM this year?

Using legacy ERP systems holds back 70% of enterprises worldwide. So why don’t they modernize? 

Mostly because it’s not the need that’s unclear - it’s the HOW.

There are so many aspects that seem challenging for enterprise decision-makers. 

Quite often, they can’t decide: 

- what strategy and approach it’s better to choose 
- how to make modernization cost-effective 
- what tech experts they need and where to find them
- how to modernize without disrupting current processes  

And this list of challenges can go on and on, overwhelming enterprises. 

But despite all concerns, I know that some businesses initiated product modernization in 2025. 

Are you one of them? And what part of product modernization do you consider challenging?
