Company Profile
Industry: Residential real estate investment and coaching
Size: Established investment company expanding into coaching services
Stage: Transitioning from pure investment to hybrid model with coaching
Primary Challenge: Lack of systematic acquisition model for coaching clients, despite strong expertise and market demand
Diagnostic Assessment

Key bottlenecks identified:

- Real estate cash flow volatility left the company exposed, which coaching revenue could offset only if reliable client acquisition was developed
