FREQUENT QUESTIONS FROM PEOPLE WHO HIRE ME

By Noah Koff

WHAT TYPES OF BUSINESSES DO YOU WORK WITH?

I work with companies in diverse business models and sectors, both consumer and business-to-business brands. My sweet spot is the journey from 1 to 10 when founders need to prioritize effective leadership to win a large category.

WHAT’S YOUR TRAINING TO WORK WITH ENTREPRENEURS?

My training as a performance management coach was in 2002. I’ve been there as a Founder myself of 3 businesses; so I know about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, co-founder issues, fundraising, culture, and hiring from building multiple companies from zero to profitability. I bring 20 years of practical experience as a coach of high-performance teams and organizations from partnering with complex organizations (Nike, Google, Red Bull). Before founding my personal consultancy in 2017, I was a start-up executive accountable for building a mid-7-Figure annual business with 100% annual revenue growth and healthy profits.

WHAT ACTIVITIES CAN YOU EXPECT?

  • Working with Noah involves high-leverage activities from business strategic vision creation or updating (values, mission, purpose) to Go-To-Market with innovative products/services and fundraising 
  • Setting/focusing in on business quarterly/annual priorities and support structures that will step you to 50% revenue growth. And then stepping you into new structures that get you to 100% revenue growth or what you can handle
  • Developing key metrics and implementing CEO metric dashboards
  • Prioritizing and project/task planning
  • Organization design/restructure/hiring
  • 80:20 thinking to clarify areas of leverage with customers, product, marketing & sales, weekly activities
  • Pivots, course correction and change management
  • Identifying skill opportunities and training plan recommendations to support current business objectives
  • Implementing EOS (entrepreneur operating system) systems and tools for a business to run smoother and stronger

WHAT DO CLIENT’S SAY?

  • One Founder who worked with Noah spoke to the power of Noah’s coaching to help him set priorities straight through their quarterly planning: “I am much more focused about what I am taking on, the resources I need to put in place and where my focus needs to be. I’ve got a more of a sense of ease and focus, and am able to resist shiny objects and FOMO.”
  • A Founder spoke to how Noah helped him practically identify the gaps in the business and build the next steps. “We broke down all the resources I had currently for the business, identified key gaps and then developed a clear plan to execute. It was a level of clarity I hadn’t been able to get to on my own.”
  • Another Founder who has been working with Noah for 3+ years noted that I’m always accountable to him. He helps me prioritize and eliminate the noise and distractions. [Working with Noah makes me] way more prepared for every meeting and every call. That gives me confidence and helps me stay calm and focused.”

WHAT TYPE OF LEADER WILL THIS BE GREAT FOR? 

  • Visionary entrepreneur, community builder, product creator; who is great with the ideas but who needs help on the execution and getting focused on the right things, in the right order to make that idea a reality (profitable); 
  • Founder who needs help building modern business muscle, becoming data-driven for decision making, honing in on metrics for success, developing resilient company culture rooted in authentic values, attracting talent, delegation to support while executing on projects; 
  • Educators, holistic practitioners who bring good things to the world with their lifestyle approaches, training and technology;
  • Removing the paralysis of not knowing what to do next because now can be more data-driven – by helping people set up accountability systems;
  • Looking for marketing or thinking through growth support, and structures, especially if you have an Ecommerce business and can handle ramping up to 50% and 100% revenue growth;
  • Founder who want to raise capital and attract ideal investors.
