Strategic Coach publishes a price and an eligibility bar. Here is what the Signature Program offers, who it suits, who should look elsewhere, and six questions to ask before you choose.
The short answer: start with Quick Wins (US$97) if you need sales ideas this month, Making It Happen (US$297) if you keep planning and not finishing, and Know Your Future (US$497) if you are not sure where the business is heading. Each page lists a 30-day money-back guarantee, and a free 30-minute call is available if you cannot decide.
A disclosure first: Simple-Growth publishes this guide and sells these programs, so read it with that in mind. Prices and guarantees below come from the live sales pages, opened and checked on 13 November 2026. Market: United States. Last updated 13 November 2026.
In the Federal Reserve Banks' 2026 survey of employer firms, 77% reported rising costs and/or tariff-related costs as a financial challenge, and 56% of firms that sought financing did so to cover operating expenses (Federal Reserve Banks, 2026 Report on Employer Firms; 6,525 responses, fielded 3 September to 14 November 2025; a nationwide convenience sample, not a random one). When costs press, the instinct is to spend on something new. The better first move is to work out which one problem is costing you most, then pick the smallest tool that fixes it.
| Program | Price (one payment) | What it fixes | Skip it if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Quick Wins | US$97 | 15 fast ways to grow your sales | Your problem is direction or follow-through, not sales ideas |
| Making It Happen | US$297 | Productivity and implementation: getting the plan done | You have no plan yet |
| Know Your Future | US$497 | Business strategy: where the business is going and the roadmap to get there | You already have a clear strategy and need help executing it |
All three are self-paced online masterclasses with instant access, and each sales page states a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read the detail before you buy: Quick Wins, Making It Happen and Know Your Future.
A self-paced program suits an owner who wants to move at their own speed and spend little to test the approach. It does not replace someone looking at your numbers one to one. If you want a peer room or a longer engagement, compare Vistage, EO or YPO, Strategic Coach or one-to-one coaching costs.
Match it to your biggest problem: sales ideas, follow-through, or direction. If you are not sure, book the free 30-minute call.
Each sales page states a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read the page for the exact terms before you buy.
Yes. The sales pages show US$97, US$297 and US$497 as one payment.
No. Most owners need one first. Add another only when the first has done its job.
Pick the one problem, start with the one program, measure at 30 days.
