Assign Decisions and Actions on the 30-60-90 Days Plan

go.001.jpeg

Execute on your ideas by assigning and follow-up

We are happy to release this long wished-for improvement of the 30-60-90 Days Plan that allows advisors and their client companies to assign decisions and actions directly to team members.

With the 30-60-90 Days Plan on GrowthWheel Online it's easy for you and your team to list all the nice-to's and need-to's, sort them as decisions or actions, and produce an actionable timeline. But who makes sure it actually gets done? 

With this release you can:

  • Assign tasks to team members and colleagues

  • Filter tasks by assignee

  • Print a visual PDF that show who is in charge of each task

When everyone knows who is in charge getting things done is somehow much easier. You no longer have to worry about all the tasks on the list, but can focus your time and energy on the tasks that you are actually responsible for. 

If you are an advisor who work with founder teams, this will help you work more efficiently with your clients. Turn talk into action by making sure that all the tasks that come up during your meeting are listed, prioritized, and delegated. 

After your meeting you can print the 30-60-90 Days Plan as a visual PDF-report and send it to your client and other team members. Or you can use it as a follow-up before your next meeting.

Add the Client's Legal Documents to the Business Profile

Share Legal Information with Stakeholders

This release makes it possible for advisors and client companies to upload legal documents to GrowthWheel Online and include them in the Business Profile. 

You can already add legal information like company registration number, founding date, and legal entity, in the Business Profile.

However, you might also need to communicate additional legal information to stakeholders like banks, investors, or advisors.

Legal documents can be anything from by-laws and shareholder agreements to permits and certificates, and anything else you need to share.

This release enables you to upload the legal documents and print the company's entire Business Profile as a visual PDF report. Lenders and other stakeholders will be very impressed! 

Also, we’re introducing a brand new feature called "visibility button." It allows you to decide which documents should be visible on the printed Business Profile.

Add Partners to the Business Profile

New Partner Page in the Business Profile: 
Let clients show they don't work alone

We continue to improve the Business Profile on GrowthWheel Online and with this monthly release you can now add a list of your client companies' partners and see them on a new page in the PDF.

Showing who the client is working with is another great piece of information that is useful for banks, lenders, investors, and also yourself as you are helping the business grow.

Under the new submenu "Partners" you — or your clients themselves — can add four different kinds of partners:

  • Professional Service Providers

  • Supplier / Service Providers

  • Channel Partners

  • Technology Providers

Of course we have made a list of the type of partners the clients might have in each category, so it's very easy to add, and be inspired for adding more.


In details:

#1 See the Market Potential

Fill out the forms: Market Size, Market Potential, and their Current Market to see the visual chart of your client companies’ market potential.

As you and your clients fill out how big is the market, what is their potential and current market, a visual chart will reflect the numbers.

 

#2 Choose to show the market chart by customers or by revenue

For each market you can choose for to show the market numbers by revenue or number of customers . In some cases you or the client might not know the market size by revenue, but can more easily estimate by number of clients.

 

#3 To showcase in a nice presentation

The chart will be added to your printable Business Profile ready to showcase other advisors, new partners, investors, bankers and more.

E-mail Templates

EN Release March.001.jpeg

New feature: E-mail Template
—Save time when you invite new clients

In this March release, we give you a new e-mail template. It is the first one in a series of e-mail templates and the new feature is based entirely on your suggestions.

Instead of writing an e-mail from scratch every time you invite a client to the platform, you now have a ready-made e-mail.

It is easy for you to edit all the information in the template and the invitation e-mails will by default be send from you.

Whenever you want to invite a client, either when you first create the account or when you want to invite a new team member, you will be able to use this template.
