Customer Acquisition
Are enough of the right prospective customers finding the business consistently?
I work with established business owners who have too many ideas, opportunities and demands competing for their attention — helping them identify what's actually holding the business back and fix that first.
Established business owners rarely suffer from a complete lack of ideas. Usually it's the opposite.
Every one of those things might be a good idea.
But if your conversion is poor, your pricing is wrong, your existing customers are being ignored or everything still depends on you, adding something else can simply create more complexity.
Growth doesn't always come from adding something. Sometimes it comes from finally fixing what's already there.
A new lead source won't fix poor conversion.
More customers won't fix weak margins.
Automation won't fix a process that shouldn't exist.
Another revenue stream won't fix the profitable one you've stopped paying attention to.
I look at the business through four commercial lenses to work out where attention is most likely to create the greatest impact.
Are enough of the right prospective customers finding the business consistently?
Are enough opportunities actually becoming paying customers?
Are you making enough from the customers you've already worked hard to acquire?
How much of the business still depends unnecessarily on you?
Understand what's genuinely happening across the business instead of assuming the most visible problem is the real one.
Identify the constraint or opportunity with the greatest potential impact and decide what deserves attention now.
Implement the change. That may involve strategy, sales, marketing, pricing, systems, automation, people or something else entirely.
Once we've dealt with the priority, reassess the business and decide what deserves attention next.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE ANOTHER IDEA.
Part of my job is to help separate genuinely valuable opportunities from distractions that simply feel productive.
New ideas don't disappear. We can park them. But they don't get to derail the thing we've already agreed matters more.
I'm Jamie Booth.
My career has moved through leadership, training, risk, compliance, operations, aviation, sales, marketing, technology and building businesses of my own.
That variety has taught me to look at businesses as connected systems. A sales problem might really be a positioning problem. A capacity problem might actually be a pricing problem. A marketing problem might simply be poor follow-up.
I also have ADHD.
One of the advantages of the way my brain works is that I see possibilities, connections and opportunities everywhere. One of the dangers is exactly the same thing.
Knowing what you could do is nowhere near as valuable as knowing what you should do next.
You don't need ADHD to recognise that pattern.
That's why my work isn't about filling your notebook with more ideas. It's about helping you make better commercial decisions, focus the business and actually implement what matters.
I'm not here to help you choose your first business idea.
I work best with people who already have something worth fixing, improving or building upon.
The business has already demonstrated that people will buy what you sell.
You know the business could perform better — but there are multiple possible routes forward.
New ideas, existing problems and day-to-day demands are all competing for limited attention.
You're not looking for another motivational conversation or enormous strategy document that sits unread.
You don't need to commit to months of consulting just to find out whether there's something worth fixing.
A quick assessment across Customer Acquisition, Customer Conversion, Customer Value and Owner Leverage.
A deep commercial review of the business to identify what's actually holding it back and where I'd focus next.
We work together for 90 days to implement the priorities rather than simply talking about them.
Let's work through it so you can make a better decision.
Here's what I think is happening and what I'd do about it.
Here's how this works so you understand the thinking behind it.
Let's actually get the thing built, changed or fixed.
No generic “10 tips for success” content. Just practical observations about growth, focus, leverage and the reality of running a business.
Adding revenue can feel like progress. Sometimes it simply creates another business you now need to run.
The most obvious problem isn't always the constraint — and the most interesting solution isn't always the right one.
Seeing possibility everywhere is useful. Knowing which opportunities to ignore is often more valuable.
If you're already running a real business and you're not sure where your attention will create the greatest impact, start with the scorecard.
