01 · The short answer

What are growth strategy consulting services?

Growth Strategy Consulting Services mean working out where your next customers will come from, then writing a plan with targets, budget, owners and review dates. I work with founders and managers. I plan, run and report in plain English. Pricing depends on your goals, so book a free call for a clear quote.

It covers your marketing strategy too: who you sell to, what you say and where you say it.

02 · The problem

Does this sound like you?

  • “We have lots of ideas but no real plan. Every week brings a new tactic that never sticks.”

  • “We spend money on marketing, but nobody can say what it was for or what came back.”

  • “My team keeps asking what matters most. I give a different answer each month.”

Here’s how I fix that. I turn the ideas into one plan, with one number at the centre.

03 · What you get

What you get with growth strategy consulting

Each part has a job. Together they give you a plan your team can run.

  1. 01Review

    A review of your numbers

    You get a clear read of your sales, costs and channels. The plan starts from facts, not guesses.

  2. 02Plan

    A growth plan with phases and monthly targets

    Each phase has a target and a review date. Anyone on the team can see if the plan is on track.

  3. 03Budget

    A channel and budget plan

    You see where each pound or dollar goes and why. Channels that do not pay back get cut early.

  4. 04Focus

    A priority list by impact and effort

    Big wins that are easy to do go first. Slow, costly ideas wait until the basics work.

  5. 05Review calls

06 · Why me

Why work with me

I’m Md. Solayman (Rumon). I have worked in growth for over 10 years, in the UK, the US, Australia and Bangladesh.

I have been a Toptal Verified Expert since May 2025 and Upwork Top Rated since December 2022. I also run growth at three companies of my own, so my own money is on the line too.

A plan only works if your team can run it. So I write in plain English and tie each step to one number.

07 · Who it’s for

Is this right for you?

Built for founders and managers.

Good fit if…

  • You want one plan, not more ideas.
  • You can share your sales and spend numbers.

08 · Pricing

How pricing works

The cost depends on your goals and how much needs doing.

What changes the cost

  • How many channels and markets the plan covers
  • How much data there is to review, and how tidy it is
  • How fast you need the plan
  • How much help you want once the plan is live

On the free call I ask about your goal, your numbers and your team. Then I give you a clear quote in plain terms.

Marketing strategy

A marketing strategy is part of every growth plan I write. It says who you sell to, what you tell them and which channels you use. I link each choice to a target, so you can see if it works.

11 · Also covered

Digital marketing consulting

Some clients want advice on their digital channels, not a full plan. As a digital marketing consultant, I review your search, ads, email and website. Then I tell you what to fix first and what to stop.

Questions people ask

They are expert help to decide where your growth will come from and how to get there. I review your numbers and pick what matters most. Then I write a plan with targets, budget, owners and review dates, and we check it each month.

The cost depends on your goals, how many channels the plan covers and how much help you want later. A one-off plan costs less than monthly support or a part-time lead role. Every business starts in a different place, so book a free call for a clear quote.

Most clients have a plan they can act on within about four weeks of our first call. Sales results take longer. They depend on your market, your budget and how fast your team acts. Monthly targets let you spot early progress instead of waiting a year.

You can do it yourself if you have the time, the data and an honest outside view. Many founders have the first two but not the third. I bring a fresh look and ten years of doing this work. To try alone first, start with the free tools on this site.

A growth plan includes your main target, the phases to reach it and the monthly steps in each phase. It also covers which channels to use, how much to spend on each and who owns each task. Every plan has review dates, so you can check progress and change course early.

The main difference is that you work with me directly, not with a team behind an account manager. I write the plan myself and stay close to the numbers. An agency suits you when you need many people doing the work. I suit you when you need a clear plan and a senior person checking it.

A marketing strategy is one part of a growth strategy. It covers who you sell to, what you say and which channels you use. A growth strategy adds the targets, budget, owners and review dates around it. I write both together, so your marketing links back to the number that matters.

Yes, I can review your digital channels without writing a full growth plan. I look at your search, ads, email and website. Then I tell you what to fix first and what to stop doing. Many clients start this way and add a full plan later.
