For us at Prime Strategies it’s really all about business strategies that work in the real world.
Translation: Figuring out what you’re actually trying to do.
- Most “business strategies” are just fancy ways to avoid making hard decisions. We help you figure out:
- What business you’re actually in (hint: it might not be what you think)
- Who will pay you money for what you do (and why they should care)
- How to stop doing the things that don’t make money
- What to do when your brilliant plan meets reality (spoiler: it always does)
What does this do for you?
Takes away the pain of wondering if you’re heading in the right direction or just keeping busy.
The Three Things Killing Your Profits (And How We Fix Them)
01
Strategy Problems
What’s going wrong:
You’re trying to be everything to everyone
What we do about it:
- Help you pick a lane and dominate it
- Stop you from chasing every shiny opportunity
- Build systems that actually work
- Make sure your team knows what they’re supposed to be doing
The embarrassment of not knowing:
That your “diversification strategy” is actually just confusion with a fancy name
02
Preparation Problems
What’s going wrong:
You’re building the plane while flying it
What we do about it:
- Create processes that don’t fall apart when you’re not there
- Make sure you’re not accidentally breaking laws
- Plan for growth before you need it
- Set up systems that scale with you
The embarrassment of not knowing: That winging it stops being charming when you have employees and customers depending on you
03
Profitability Problems
What’s going wrong:
Money is disappearing faster than free donuts at a police station
What we do about it:
- Find where your money is leaking and plug the holes
- Stop you from spending money on things that don’t matter
- Increase your margins without raising prices
- Make your team more productive (without making them hate their jobs)
Taking away the pain of:
Watching your hard work turn into someone else’s profit
But wait…
This is only for you if:
- You suspect you don’t know what you don’t know (and you’re right)
- You’re tired of business advice that sounds good but doesn’t actually help
- You want to fix real problems, not just talk about them
- You can handle the truth about what’s wrong with your business
- You’re ready to stop making expensive mistakes
This is NOT for you if:
- You want someone to tell you your bad ideas are brilliant
- You love meetings about meetings about planning meetings
- You think all your problems are someone else’s fault
- You’re looking for cheerleaders, not advisors
- You believe everything is fine (it’s probably not)

Before Dave came on board, the business was chugging along but cashflow and time were always tight. With so much work coming through the door, we never had the headspace to actually stop and look at how the business was running, let alone improve it. Dave didn't look to overhaul everything straight away. The first few months were mostly conversation, talking through structure and helping us nut things out, and once we started properly tracking the numbers, the picture got a lot clearer. The biggest shift has been seeing the figures each week instead of just feeling that things were probably okay, and having the confidence to back decisions we'd been sitting on for years, like finally bringing new people onto the team. If you reckon you've got a solid handle on your business, working with Dave will give you a fresh look and a stronger foundation; if you know you need help, he's probably exactly what you're looking for.

“Fiona from Prime Strategies Group has been a huge help for me and my business.
Using some smart systems and ideas, that she provided, things are running much smoother and a lot less stressful than they had been in the past.
I now have my weekends back and get to spend more time off the tools and working on growing the business.”

Before we started working with Dave, sales were struggling and nobody knew who we were. We had no presence in the market at all. That has completely changed. Sales have increased, our market presence has grown, and our headspace has gone from stressing about cashflow around the clock to figuring out how to get all the projects done that we are winning. We are moving to larger premises, adding machines, and taking on more staff to keep up with demand. We would 100% recommend jumping on with Dave at Prime. It is a bit of a slow burn, so do not expect results from day one, but stick with it. The results do arrive, and they are better than you expected them to be.
