These are the questions owners and sales leaders ask most often before they commit to a revenue sprint. If yours isn't here, call, text or email and ask it directly; the first conversation is a complimentary, confidential consultation with a senior partner.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly happens in the 90 days?
Ten working days of leak diagnosis build a revenue ledger. Then we work pricing and stalled pipeline, then the sales routine, then retention and repeat revenue. A readout every two weeks reviews the ledger, and day 90 ends with a written comparison and a 12-month plan.
How much does a sprint cost?
We don't publish prices. Each sprint is scoped after a complimentary, confidential consultation with a senior partner, and the fee is stated in a written proposal. Sales tax is GST/HST by province (GST and QST in Quebec).
Is there a long contract?
The sprint itself runs for a fixed 90 days. How it can be ended early, and any follow-on work, are written into the proposal before you agree to anything.
We tried an agency before and it didn't work. Why is this different?
Most agency work measures leads or clicks. This sprint measures revenue: price, win rate, days to close and repeat purchase, against a baseline built from your own records. If something isn't moving, the two-weekly readout says so and we change course.
Do you promise a revenue increase?
No. Nobody honest can. We agree a baseline and a target, report against both every two weeks, and state plainly at day 90 what moved and what didn't.
How much time does it take from us?
About two hours a week from the owner or sales lead, plus short sessions with the people who answer enquiries, write quotes and handle renewals. Decisions made quickly keep the sprint on schedule.
Who owns the data, templates and accounts?
You do. Any tool, account or file set up during the sprint is created in your business's name, and the routines are documented so your team can run them without us.
Do you need access to our systems?
Read-only exports are usually enough for the diagnosis. Where access helps, it is granted by you and stays in your control. How data is handled is set out in your proposal.
Can you work with a business outside British Columbia?
Yes. We work in person or by video call, phone, text, screen-share and email with businesses in all ten provinces and three territories.
Is a sprint right for a startup?
Usually not. The sprint works on existing sales. A business with little or no sales history needs a different kind of help, and we will say so in the first conversation.
Do you give legal or tax advice on pricing or contracts?
No. We are business consultants. Where a change touches consent rules, advertising claims or contract terms, we point to official guidance and recommend you confirm with a lawyer or accountant.
What happens after day 90?
You keep the ledger, the routines and a 12-month plan. Some clients continue with strategy and executive advisory or AI consulting through SAZ.ca; many simply run the plan themselves.
How quickly will you reply when we get in touch?
We usually reply within one business day. Our hours are Mon–Fri 9–6 Pacific.
Before you start
The most useful thing you can do before a first call is gather four figures from the last 90 days: how many qualified opportunities you had, what share you won, your average sale, and how many days a typical deal took to close. Rough numbers are fine.
Those four figures tell us, within minutes, which lever is likely to pay first. The revenue velocity guide shows how to work them out from ordinary records, even if you don't use a CRM.
About fees and terms
AcceleratedSolutions.ca publishes no prices. That is not a sales tactic; it reflects how different one sprint is from the next. The engagements page explains the five factors that drive scope and lists the three engagements available through SAZ.ca.
Everything that matters, including scope, fee, timeline, how either side can end the engagement and who owns what, is written into your proposal. If something isn't written down, it isn't agreed.
About results and reporting
We report against your own baseline, not against industry averages or other clients. Every two weeks the readout covers the same five figures, calculated the same way. If a figure can't be measured cleanly, the readout says so rather than guessing.
Our evidence for the method comes from the group's HVAC work, which you can read on the results page. We show those as results from our HVAC work and don't claim them for other industries.
About working together
The sprint is delivered across Canada in person or by video call, phone, text, screen-share and email. Your senior contact throughout is Ali Sedighi, MBA, who leads every sprint; more on the about page.
Your team keeps doing the selling and the serving. Our job is to find the leaks, design the changes, coach the people using them and measure the effect. When the 90 days are over, the routines should run without us.
About timing
The ideal time to start a sprint is about two months before your busiest season, so the pricing and sales changes are tested before demand peaks and the retention routine is running when it ends. Starting in the middle of a rush is possible, but the readouts are harder to interpret, because a busy month makes almost every figure look better.
Avoid starting when a big disruption is already planned: a system migration, a move, or a change of sales staff. The baseline needs a few stable weeks to mean anything.
About your team
A sprint changes habits, and habits belong to people. The staff who answer enquiries, write quotes and handle renewals are involved from the first week, through short interviews during the diagnosis and coaching sessions later. We find that routines last when the people running them helped shape them.
If someone on your team is sceptical, that is useful. Their objections usually point to a real problem the routine has to solve.
About data and confidentiality
Revenue work means looking at sensitive numbers: prices, margins, customer lists and salespeople's results. We use them only for your engagement, ask for read-only exports where possible, and set out handling terms in the proposal. Customer contact lists are never used for anything other than your own outreach, and only within the consent you hold.
If you share figures before the consultation, rough totals are enough. Detailed records come later, once you have decided to go ahead.
