For Service Business Founders at $5M to $50M
Growth That
Doesn't Break
Your Business.
Clarity. Structure. Execution.
If you are running a $5M to $50M service business and revenue growth has made you the bottleneck, the problem is not effort. The problem is the operating system underneath the business. That is what we fix.
SCROLL
THE WORK
How I Help You Grow.
Three distinct engagements. One consistent outcome: durable, intelligent growth.
01
Fractional CRO/COO
Your revenue process runs without you in every conversation. Your operations hold without you making every call. Embedded operating leadership for companies at the gap between traction and scale. No full-time executive overhead.
02
Executive Coaching
Your decisions get clearer. Your team moves without needing your input on everything. For founders and senior leaders who need a partner who has sat in the same seat. Clarity over comfort. Results over reassurance.
03
Books + Tools
Practical frameworks for leaders who think in systems. Structured resources built from real operating experience. Not consulting theory.
THE GROWTH TRAP
When your patterns become your ceiling
FOR COMPANIES:
You are still in every decision. You are quoting deals, approving hires, fielding escalations that should not reach you. Revenue moves without a clear explanation. That is not a market problem. The processes, people, and communication systems that got you here are now the ceiling. You need a different operating layer.
FOR LEADERS:
You perform brilliantly. You have led well. But your team has not followed. Not because they lack capability. Because your leadership architecture is unfinished. True influence requires more than results. It requires a system others can follow.
HOW WE WORK TOGETHER
A clear path from
friction to velocity.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined arc: from diagnosis to execution to governance.
01
Diagnose
You walk away with a clear map of the one constraint costing you the most revenue right now. Not a report. A diagnosis you can act on immediately.
02
Implement
Your team operates the system. You stop being the system. We build the operating architecture, accountability structures, and execution cadence your team runs without you in every decision.
03
Govern
The results hold without you managing every detail. Review cycles, accountability systems, and decision frameworks stay in place. Growth compounds instead of reverting.

MEET ED BROWN
Operator. Strategist.
Growth Architect.
Ed Brown spent two decades in the operator's seat before he started coaching from it. He has run revenue teams, rebuilt operating models, and worked alongside founders who were growing fast enough to outpace the systems underneath them. He built the SCALE Framework because the founders he worked with needed more than a coach. They needed someone who had solved the same problems they were facing, in real companies, with real stakes. That is what he brings to every engagement.
The SCALE Framework is the operating system Ed installs inside each engagement. It addresses the five constraints that predictably stop service business growth: systems that depend on the founder, sales processes that do not repeat, accountability structures that do not hold, leadership capacity that has not been built, and execution that lives in the founder's head instead of the business. Every engagement is built around it.
THE BOOK
Invisible No More.
From overlooked to unstoppable.
Built for leaders who perform at a high level but remain invisible to the rooms that matter. This book provides the leadership architecture framework that closes the gap between your capability and your influence.
- If you lead without a following, this is for you.
- If you produce results without recognition, this is for you.
- If you're building a career without a strategy, this is for you.
WHAT LEADERS ARE SAYING
From Founders Who Have Been Through It
These are founders and operators of service businesses who were at the exact moment you may be in right now.
"Within six months of working with Ed, our team alignment improved dramatically, our revenue process became predictable, and I finally felt like I was leading, not just reacting."
DAVID T. PRICE
President, Mid-Market Growth Company
"Ed brings a rare combination of street-level operator experience and boardroom-level thinking. He helped us see the business more clearly than we ever had, and then actually do something about it."
MICHAEL HARRIS
Founder, Series B Technology Company
"Working with Ed fundamentally changed how I show up as a leader. He doesn’t coach you into comfort, he coaches you into accountability. That distinction changed everything."
SARAH WILLIAMS
Chief Revenue Officer, Professional Services Firm
THE NEXT STEP
If your business is growing but you are working harder, not less. That pattern has a name. And a fix.
The first step is a 45-minute Clarity Call. We identify your top growth constraint, review your operating model, and determine whether there is a fit. You leave with two or three specific observations on your biggest leverage points. Regardless of what you decide next.
