Ask any SMB owner why sales aren’t growing as expected, and you’ll hear a familiar list of theories:

“Our reps aren’t strong enough.” “We need better leads.” “We need a new comp plan.” “Marketing needs to do more.” “Our CRM isn’t set up correctly.”

But here’s the real issue: everyone in the company is working from a different understanding of the sales problem.

Owners have one perspective. Leadership has another. Sales reps have a completely different view. Customer-facing employees see operational friction long before anyone else does.

When four groups live in four different realities, decisions are made on assumption—not truth.

The Curious Systems Engineer-in-a-Box™ solves this by delivering a structured, data-driven, fully engineered Sales Discovery that aligns every viewpoint, reveals root causes, and creates a roadmap grounded in objective truth.

The Discovery begins with the Agility 4.0 Computerized Assessment, which evaluates your organization across four core pillars:

This section gives CEOs the clarity they crave—and the truth they rarely get.

Step 3 — Prioritization, Portal Upload & Strategic Sales Playbook Blueprint

Every recommendation, priority, and action step is placed into your Customer Portal or project management system so execution becomes structured, transparent, and manageable.

You also receive a Strategic Sales Playbook Blueprint outlining:

  • Current state
  • Future state
  • The engineered roadmap that connects them

This becomes the foundation for your sales system transformation.

Investment & Ownership

The complete Sales Discovery—assessments, interviews, analysis, reporting, prioritization, and blueprint—is delivered for a fixed investment of $15,000.

And you own all the intellectual property.

This is clarity with value—not a lead-in to a hard pitch.

Step 4 — You Choose Your Path Forward

Once Discovery is complete, you decide which of four paths is right for your business:

  1. Do Nothing (for now) Sometimes timing isn’t right—but clarity still has value.
  2. DIY Execution Use your roadmap internally at your own pace.
  3. Right-Fit Referral If culture alignment isn’t perfect, I will find someone who is.
  4. Roll Forward With SGI Transform Discovery into deeper work around Playbooks, Infrastructure, Framework, or Sales Management.

No pressure. No assumptions. Just truth, options, and the right next step.
