Manage episode 509291488 series 3354713
Sustainable growth doesn’t come from chasing every new lead – it comes from putting people at the centre of your business.
In this episode, we are joined by Nicole Troster – the go-to business coach for women entrepreneurs scaling their service-based businesses beyond $500K. She helps clients gain clarity on their ideal customer and systematically align every functional area around those needs to create authentic, sustainable, and profitable growth. Drawing from her experience as founder of an award-winning accelerator that has supported over 450 women-led ventures, Nicole now applies those proven frameworks to help individual clients build businesses that put people at the centre of profitable growth.
We explore:
- How to deeply understand and design for your ideal customer
- Why engaging employees in service design boosts quality and ownership
- Building culture with intention, not by default
- Leadership tips and trends for growth
- The role of community in workplace success
Whether you’re a founder, leader, or service provider, this conversation will help you shift from transactional to relational growth – and see why people really are your greatest business asset.
