“I thought our 40% budget cut would kill us, and it was when we cut services and subscribers began to complain LOUDLY on tech review sites. What they said forced us to wake up. I was able to activate my team to create a business model and customer success strategy that’s 10x more scalable.”
Austin, TX
“My team quit and they all left bad reviews on Indeed and Glassdoor, making it nearly impossible to hire. It felt like failure—until I realized what they had to say could create real change in my business. I restructured, got clarity around people's roles, and invited select team members back. They removed their own reviews and now my firm is thriving.”

“The 145% tariff almost broke us. We increased prices and customers screamed loudly on social media. Price change wasn't going to solve the problem. We looked at our options to source locally, ship faster, and serve better with a JIT delivery model.”

“The feedback on my last session almost drove me to quit. Using Critical Opportunity Method, I recognized the pattern in the reviews, I changed my curriculum, and relaunched to deliver more value than ever.”
