Where service firms get stuck

  • Revenue tied to the hours the owner can bill
  • Clients who see you as interchangeable with competitors
  • Referral-only growth you cannot switch on when needed
  • Proposals that win praise but not decisions
  • Senior people doing work juniors or AI could do

What we work on

  • A niche and position that make you the obvious specialist
  • Productised offers and value-based pricing
  • A thought-leadership engine that brings clients to you
  • A sales process that turns conversations into decisions
  • AI workflows that multiply what each person delivers

Relevant experience

A services founder who has done it himself

Kevin D'Ambros-Smith spent his early career inside three global agencies, founded a digital media agency, and has built Simple-Growth as a coaching and advisory practice. He has coached owners in IT services, recruitment, PR, consulting, education and e-learning.

What owners say

"Kevin has the ability to make everything so simple. He can take something that seems like a complicated task and break this down to 1 or 2 key things, so that achieving the desired outcome becomes easier and very achievable."

Christiana, Johnson and Laird

"Relevant to our situation. Kevin understands our business and takes a real interest. He is super encouraging."

Ross Perkinson, iLearn

"Nice relaxed relatable style and he has done it himself."

Professional services coaching: questions answered

How do I move away from hourly billing?

Start by defining outcomes clients value and packaging your work around them. We test value-based offers with a few clients before changing everything.

We rely on referrals. Is that a problem?

Referrals are great but hard to scale on demand. We build a second engine, usually thought leadership plus a simple follow-up system, alongside them.

Is coaching co-funding available?

Possibly. Simple-Growth offers services that are registered with the Management Capability Development Fund. Funding is decided by your Regional Business Partner Growth Advisor and is not guaranteed.
