What happens during an Ignition Sprint?

The Short Answer

One 90-minute session with a strategist. You walk in unclear about your pitch. You walk out with two finished assets: a story pitch (verbal and written) and a one-pager sales document you can send after your next conversation. Investment: $1,500.

Before the Session

There's no prep homework. You don't need to write anything in advance or fill out a questionnaire. The strategist leads the session using the same framework the Growth Navigator uses, just with a human guiding the process in real time. All you need is 90 minutes of focused time and a willingness to answer questions honestly about your business, your buyers, and the results you create.

That said, most founders arrive knowing something is off with their pitch. Maybe they explain what they do differently every time someone asks. Maybe conversations go well but never convert. Maybe they have a 10-page proposal but no one-pager. The Ignition Sprint is built to fix exactly that problem in one sitting.

During the Session

The strategist asks targeted questions about three things: who you help (the specific person and situation), what changes because of your work (the measurable outcome), and why the buyer should care right now (the stakes of not acting). From your answers, the strategist builds two assets live in the session.

First: a story pitch. This is the verbal version of your offer, designed for networking events, sales calls, and the inevitable "so what do you do?" question. It follows a specific structure: name the problem, describe the outcome, invite the next step. It's conversational, not scripted. You'll practice it in the session and refine it until it feels natural. This guide covers the underlying framework.

Second: a written one-pager. This is the document you send within two hours of every sales conversation. It includes the buyer's problem, the outcome of working together, what's included, the investment, and one clear next step. It's designed to be forwarded: when your buyer sends it to their partner or decision-maker with a note that says "I think we should do this," the one-pager does the selling for you.

After the Session

You leave the session with both assets ready to use. The story pitch is yours to deploy immediately at the next networking event, on the next sales call, or in the next LinkedIn DM. The one-pager is formatted and ready to send after your next conversation.

Most Ignition clients report that the pitch alone changes how they show up in conversations for months afterward. One sentence, delivered with confidence, that makes the right person lean in and ask "tell me more."

Who Ignition Is For

Corporate escapees in their first one to three months of going independent who need to clearly explain what they do. Coaches and consultants who have expertise but fumble the pitch. Fractional executives who describe their title instead of their offer. Any founder who knows they're great at the work but can't seem to sell it.

The Upgrade Path

If you upgrade to Launch Pad ($6,500) within 30 days, your Ignition investment is credited toward it. So there's no risk in starting here. You either walk away with a pitch and one-pager that serve you for years, or you use it as the first step toward the full GTM system.
