The founder of this site, Dan Swanson has been helping businesses grow for more than 40 years. He spent his early career primarily as a consulting design engineer, creating more than 100 products and services. Over the years he has helped more than 6,000 people start their own businesses and helped many existing businesses grow 1,000% to 10,000%. He generated $3.9 billion in new revenues for his customers and save clients more than $11 billion in operating costs.
A couple of examples. One telecommunications startup had 13 employees and zero in revenue. They were having technical difficulties. Dan was able to solve it in a few days. Over the next 4 years, Dan helped them grow from $0 to more than $300 million in revenue to more than 2,500 employees.
He led in the development of more than 60 different products and services for them. One internal project was an improved operator workstation. Dan assembled a team of programmers and increased productivity by 400%. So instead of needing 6,000 operators they only needed 1,500 saving them more than $90 million per year in labor, saving more than $20 million in long-distance charges and saving them more than $36 million in capital equipment.
Another example was a service company that was making $30,000/month in revenues, where the average customer stayed just 4 months. Within a few years, he helped the client grow revenues by 500% and profits by 700%. He helped them optimize their workflows so they only had to add 10% to their workforce to handle the 500% growth.
