Still polishing a plan that's been 80% finished for three months? Toyota's Lean ECRS method and Kevin's own 'ship at 70%' rule, for recovering perfectionists.
The short answer: Quick Wins is a short, self-paced online masterclass of 15 sales strategies, with templates, a key points summary and examples from big brands and small businesses, for a single payment of $97. It suits an owner who wants practical ideas to lift sales this quarter and is willing to try them. It does not suit an owner who wants a done-for-you service or who is still deciding where the business is heading.
A disclosure first: Simple-Growth publishes this guide and sells Quick Wins, so read it with that in mind. Everything about the program below comes from its live sales page, opened on 6 November 2026. Market: United States.
The sales page describes video training and templates for ambitious owners in New Zealand and the USA, built around 15 strategies for attracting and keeping customers and lifting sales. Six lessons are named on the page: Price for Profit, Incentivise Buying Now, Four Words Worth Thousands, Upsell to Lift Spend, Know When They'll Buy, and The Sales Strategy Kevin Rates Highest. The page does not name the other nine and does not state a total running time, so check it before you buy.
You also get pre-made templates, a key points summary, real-world examples and Kevin's hard-learnt tips, with instant digital access. The page states a 30-day money-back guarantee: if it isn't useful, ask for a refund.
The US Small Business Administration's Office of Advocacy reports 36,207,130 small businesses in the United States, employing 62.3 million people, or 45.9% of private-sector workers, as of February 2026. In a field that large, a business rarely wins by working harder at the same offer. It wins by pricing with care, giving buyers a reason to act now, and noticing when a customer is ready. Those are the kinds of moves Quick Wins covers.
| Route | Suits you if | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Quick Wins ($97, self-paced) | You want 15 practical sales moves and templates you can use this month | It only works if you set time aside and test the ideas |
| A book or free content | You are happy to search, sort and adapt ideas yourself | Quality varies and nobody checks your progress |
| A consultant | You want a defined piece of work done for you | Scope and fees vary; ask for a written total |
| One-on-one coaching | You want someone working on your own numbers between meetings | Higher cost; quoted by conversation |
| Making It Happen ($297) or Know Your Future ($497) | Your problem is follow-through, or direction, rather than sales ideas | Check each page for what is included |
Prices are as shown on each live sales page on 6 November 2026, one payment, with a 30-day money-back guarantee as stated on each page.
If a number has not moved after eight weeks, the constraint may be elsewhere, and a free 30-minute call is a quick way to find out.
The live sales page shows US$97, one payment, instant digital access and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Check the page for current terms before you buy.
The sales page describes it as short, practical and self-paced but does not state a total running time.
No. It is a self-paced online masterclass. Coaching is one-to-one and quoted by conversation. Many owners start with a program and book a call later.
Yes. Book a free 30-minute call with Kevin and take the answers wherever you like.
Try two ideas properly rather than fifteen halfway.

Most SME owners can describe next year's budget in detail and go quiet the moment you ask about year ten. A UK study of over 1,000 companies found that gap predicts success almost on its own.

Most SME owners build their people plan around courses. The research behind the 70-20-10 model says courses are the smallest lever you have, and it is worth knowing how shaky that research actually is.

A lead called within five minutes is up to 100 times more likely to be contacted and 21 times more likely to qualify than one called 30 minutes later. Almost nobody does it.

Managers now spend over a fifth of their working week in meetings, and senior leaders admit most of it is wasted. A fixed meeting rhythm fixes more than your calendar.

Most SME owners set ad budgets and discount limits by gut feel. One number, worked out properly, tells you exactly what a customer is worth and what you can afford to spend to win one.

Most small businesses pour their whole marketing budget into this week's sale. The research on 30 years of advertising says that is exactly the wrong ratio.
