Mastering the 7 Essentials of High-Growth Companies (PDF)

Practical strategies to propel your company to the top

American business is entering unchartered territory. Recent
trends suggest that we are moving out of a recession-fairly labeled
The Great Recession-into a recovery phase characterized by high
unemployment with growth. As such, the business road ahead will be
challenging. Growth will be harder to achieve and business failure
will be more prevalent.

But the best of America's growth businesses will pass through
this cycle to experience renewed and hopeful growth in contrast to
the high failure rate of those who fail to grow. The numbers are
proving this to be the extreme case-a higher upside with a greater
failure rate.

What are America's recession-proof, highest growth companies
doing differently? What are the values, fundamentals, and actions
that will make the difference between failure, or just surviving
and thriving? The answer to these questions is, what Thomson calls,
The 7 Essentials-value proposition, high growth market
segment, marquee customers, big brother alliances, exponential
returns, inside/outside leadership, and essential board experts.
This book is the timely answer to the search for what it will take
to propel a company's growth through these challenging times. It's
for management teams of any business, independent of size or
industry, which desires to identify a course of action to improve
their opportunities to grow.

"Applying the 7 Essentials will improve your company's growth
prospects," says author David Thomson. Growth companies are
especially defined by their ability to grow through recession and
recovery periods to become the new growth leaders. The case studies
and the numbers in this book prove it. This reliable resource
extends the insights from Thomson's bestselling book, Blueprint
to a Billion: 7 Essentials to Achieve Exponential Growth to
apply the 7 Essentials to all companies.

Thomson is known as America's growth expert on what it takes to
transform a small business into a billion dollar one. He has been
recognized by Investors Business Daily as the "Guru for
Uncovering the Blueprint for Sizzling Growth Companies."
