Strategy consulting for SMEs that want to grow deliberately

Clear options, a well-founded pricing strategy and business cases built on real numbers. We help you choose, and justify that choice to your team, your bank or your board.

Example: at least three real options, on the same criteria, and one well-founded choice.

When strategy makes the difference

A growth choice

Expand, specialise or launch a new offer: which path suits your business?

A new market

A new region, a new country or a new target group, and the question of how to enter it.

Price pressure

Costs rise, customers negotiate harder. What do you charge, and how do you explain it?

A major investment

A machine, an acquisition, a new team: what does it return, and under which conditions?

Too many initiatives at once

Ten projects and a limited team. Which three make the difference?

What we do for you

From the first options to a roadmap you can follow up. A go-to-market plan for SMEs outside the tech sector belongs here too.

Developing strategic options

At least three real options, worked out and set side by side, so you are not choosing between one plan and doing nothing.

Pricing strategy

Where you leave money on the table, how you keep discounts under control and how you structure your prices. More under pricing strategy.

Business case

What a decision costs and returns, with the assumptions visible and a look at what happens if things turn out worse.

Priorities and roadmap

What you do first, what later and what not at all, with the KPIs to track progress.

How we reach a decision

  1. 01

    Options

    At least three real options, including the choice to change nothing.

  2. 02

    Criteria

    Criteria agreed in advance, so the choice does not depend on who talks loudest.

  3. 03

    Evidence

    Figures, market insight and conversations, with the assumptions stated explicitly.

  4. 04

    Recommendation

    A written decision memo: what we recommend, why, and what has to be true for it to work.

Example of an option matrix

Illustrative example. Height = total score on the agreed criteria.

Example of an option matrix: four options by feasibility and impact; the height shows the total score.

Pricing strategy: an underrated lever on your margin

Many SMEs set their prices once and barely adjust them afterwards. Costs rise, discounts creep in, and the margin shrinks without anyone deciding it should. A small price change often weighs more heavily on profit than a large cost saving, as the example calculation shows.

Price + 3%Price €103

+30% profit€13€30€60
Example calculation, at equal volume, not client data

At equal volume, a 3% price increase gives 30% more profit in this example.

Where you leave money on the table

Customers who get more value than they pay for, services you provide for free, prices that have not been reviewed for years. We map where the room is.

Discounts under control

Discounts without rules grow by themselves. We help you decide who gets which discount, why, and who may grant it.

Price structure and packages

A clear structure for your offer, with packages or options for different customers, so you do not compete on price alone.

What you receive

Frequently asked questions about strategy consulting

Why would an SME bring in an external strategy adviser?

Because an owner-manager stands in the middle of the business. An outside view sees what seems obvious internally, tests assumptions against facts and brings structure to a decision that would otherwise drag on. You keep the choice in your own hands: we make sure it is well-founded. That is how our approach works.

How long does a strategy engagement take?

Usually two to six weeks, depending on the question. A pricing strategy for one product line goes faster than a growth choice with a business case and a roadmap. The schedule is in the proposal after the introduction, with a decision point after each phase. See how we reach a decision.

Do you work with our accountant or board?

Yes, where that helps. We work with the figures from your accountant and can present the recommendation to your board. We do not replace your accountant: they remain responsible for the accounts and the tax side, while we help with the strategic choice.

How does it differ from Wynmond Privé?

A strategy engagement is a defined project with a fixed price and a written result, for SMEs that need to make a choice. Wynmond Privé is a separate, personal track for executive teams and boards of larger organisations, by invitation and in full confidence.

What does a strategy engagement cost?

Every engagement gets a fixed price in the written proposal after the introduction. The price depends on what you need: options, a pricing strategy, a business case, a roadmap or a combination. So you know in advance what you pay and what you get. Discuss your question in an introduction.
