The program
The 90-day build.
From founder-led sales to a working revenue team.
15 minutes with Kurt. You leave with a clear view of where your pipeline breaks.
Pricing depends on your team and deal size. We'll walk through it on the free 15-minute intro call.
Who it's for
Seed to Series A B2B founders (SaaS and tech-enabled products) with a founder still closing most deals and zero to three salespeople.
Not a fit

The 90 days
- 30
Days 1–30
Build
Buyer interviews and deal review, ICP lanes, packaging and scripts, CRM and stages, sequences drafted; closer search runs in parallel against your scorecard.
Day 30 checkpoint: list, sequences and CRM live; outbound running toward your first meetings.
- 60
Days 31–60
Launch
Closer onboarded and live on the playbook; outbound running; weekly pipeline and call reviews begin.
Day 60 checkpoint: your closer is on calls; you get a weekly scorecard.
- 90
Days 61–90
Run
The team runs on the scorecard; the founder moves from closing to reviewing; we tune lanes, messaging and coaching from real calls.
Day 90 checkpoint: your closer is carrying pipeline; you decide whether to hire them onto your payroll.
How the closer is employed
Your closer is a full-time W-2 employee of GrowthGeek, employed through our PEO. We handle recruiting, payroll, taxes, benefits administration and management; you direct the selling.
Closer replacement terms
If a closer isn't the right fit, we replace them, per your agreement, and you're credited for days the seat is empty.
Hire your closer
If the closer works out, you can hire them onto your payroll for a one-time conversion fee set out in your agreement.
How it's structured
A separate one-time fee, paid upfront, then a fee per 4-week cycle for each managed closer (Standard or Senior AE), with a minimum of three cycles per seat. We'll walk through the numbers on the intro call; they're set in your Order Form.
What you'll bring
Access to your CRM, inboxes and call recordings, and a founder who joins one weekly review.
Other ways to start
Engine build only
The same build scope, about 30 days; no figures shown.
Managed Seat only

Direct Placement
We run the search; you hire onto your payroll.
