Then the unexpected happens.  A potential customer wants a meeting, now.  A door opens.  A deal is struck.  Things begin to click, and what you and your associates projected would take six months to accomplish, takes two. Through a combination of factors, your business is accelerating.  That’s when the support provided by LEN becomes all the more critical, allowing entrepreneurs to focus on building the product and the development team.

 

“The advice I received from my advisory board did accelerate me,” said Johnson.  In the early stages of AnswerOn, Johnson needed to put together pricing – in a hurry – for a potential major customer.  “One of my advisors dropped everything and spent the day with me developing that pricing structure.  I got an outside point of view and impartial input.  And we won that customer,” said Johnson.

 

As young companies take off, LEN can also provide financing and manufacturing strategies, product pricing and packaging, infrastructure planning and supply chain management.  Client fees are kept low and a significant portion are payable only if the company is successful.  LEN investors and sponsors subsidize other services.  The ability to accelerate is inherent to the types of business that become a part of LEN. And the LEN network can help with the variety of strategic needs and acute problems faced by entrepreneurs.
