Real founders. Real numbers. Real decisions that moved them.

Alternative Energy · NYC

Bright Power. 3x revenue, one buyer pivot.

Jeff Perlman's energy-efficiency and renewable energy firm was selling into the wrong buyer. We rebuilt the pitch around commercial property operators. Top-line tripled inside twelve months. Same product, different market.

"I've tripled the revenues of my energy efficiency and renewable energy company over the last year. , Jeff Perlman, President, Bright Power"

PR / Media · Brooklyn

Shore Fire Media, record months at year 30.

Founded in 1990. Marilyn Laverty's PR firm was strong, but plateaued. Three months into the engagement with BEST Coaches, Shore Fire had the highest client-fee months in its history. The unlock wasn't marketing. It was a tighter game plan and weekly accountability.

"The last 3 months we've achieved our highest months in client fees since the company started in 1990. What's amazing is how much fun we're having now, too. , Marilyn Laverty, Founder/CEO, Shore Fire Media"

Consulting · Queens

Netsperts. 300% sales, 450% profit.

Riccardo Mavrovich's sales climbed 300% during the engagement. The bigger lift was profit. BEST Coaches helped him trade volume for margin, restructure his time, and walk out of the engagement working less. The margin story is the harder one to engineer.

"Stefan Doering is an entrepreneur's entrepreneur. He has actually shown me how to increase my profit by 450% and work less! , Riccardo Mavrovich, CEO & Founder, Netsperts Inc."

Sustainable Manufacturing

Ecologic Solutions. Best for the World.

A long-time coaching engagement with a triple-bottom-line manufacturer. The company was recognized by B Lab as "Best for the World. Environment Impact 2014." The achievement was the outside marker. The internal one was a profitable sustainability model that didn't need to be subsidized to work.

Skincare · Mission-driven

A mission-driven skincare founder, now well known.

A skincare founder whose business grew alongside a clear social mission. The work was less about marketing volume and more about positioning the mission as the brand engine, then pricing and distributing around it. She has since become a major name in her category. Name withheld at the founder's preference.

Green Cleaning · NYC

Hardcore green cleaning, sober economics.

An operator-led green cleaning supply business (run by Stefan's brother). We worked the supply-chain economics and the pricing story so the company could sell into commercial customers without trading away the hardcore-green standard. Mission, margin, growth, in that order.

PR · Manhattan

Rubenstein PR, the wellspring engagement.

Richard Rubenstein, president of one of New York's most established PR firms. A coaching relationship long enough for the lessons to compound. The work was less about a single pivot and more about ongoing decision quality across a complex book of business. A long-standing engagement with BEST Coaches.

"You have been a wellspring of help to me. Your lessons and words of wisdom are engrained in me forever and reside in the depths of my consciousness. , Richard Rubenstein, President, Rubenstein Public Relations"

Personal Brand. Vancouver, BC

An early-stage compass for a now-global personal brand.

BEST Coaches was an early-stage advisor as a personal-brand business grew into a global practice. The work was less framework, more compass: what to say yes to, what to walk away from, and how to price the next thing higher than the last.

"Each session unearthed jewels of wisdom and clarity and steered us toward more lucrative deals. Name withheld at the founder's preference."

Fundraising to Strategy pivot

The founder who didn't need the round.

A founder came in for help raising a $2M Series A. By session two, the diagnosis was clear. The model had a pricing problem. We fixed pricing first. Margin doubled. The "round" was no longer needed. This is the engagement BEST Coaches reaches for most often.
