# Starting up or growing a business?

#### Find your market. Sharpen your offer. Make your marketing and tech work for you.

 

I’m Yoel—a 75-year-old retired information technology consultant interested in *paying it forward*. After 35 years of helping businesses find their direction and put technology to work, I’m offering founders advice, consulting, and workshops **at no charge**.

# How I can help you build a stronger business?

#### Help you clarify your business model:

Work out who will pay, what they’ll pay for, and why they’ll choose you.

#### Who to target and what to say?

Find the customers most likely to buy, then reach them with the right message at the right time.

#### One language. One plan. One team.

When your team shares a common language and a common plan, everyone pulls in the same direction, and results follow.

#### Help make your CRM and technology work for you:

Spend less time chasing information and more time moving your business forward.

# You don’t need all the answers before we talk.

Start with whichever question is keeping you up at night:

- #### Who should you focus on first?
  
  Together we'll pinpoint the customers most likely to buy, so your limited time and budget go where they matter most.

- #### Does your business model hold up—and what still needs testing?
  
  We'll walk through how you create value and make money, then separate what's proven from the assumptions that deserve a quick test before you commit more.

- #### Why would someone choose you over the alternatives?
  
  I'll help you discover what makes you unique, so your message is clear to customers and easy for them to remember.
- #### What technology do you actually need to get started?
  
  You'll get straight advice on the few tools worth having now and the ones that can wait, so you don't overspend or overcomplicate things.
- ##### How do you stop leads and follow-ups slipping through the cracks?
  
  Together we'll map how inquiries move from first contact to customer and set up simple, reliable follow-up so we don't lose or forget any opportunities!

### You know your business. I bring my experienced outside view.

#### With 35 years of business and IT experience, I can help you turn your ideas into reality, without charge.

Hi, I'm Yoel Ben-Avraham. I've spent my career helping businesses answer big questions: Who are our best customers? Why choose us? How can technology help?

I combine strategy with hands-on CRM and information technology experience, helping startups and scaling companies sharpen business models, find promising markets, and craft clear messages.

Together, we'll test your assumptions, spot any  gaps, and plan next steps.

At 75, I'm retired but still love helping people build something worthwhile. Through Growth-Driven Solutions, I offer founders advice, consulting, and workshops at no charge. No pitch, no strings. It's my way of **Paying it Forward**.

You bring the ambition. I bring my experience, industry-tried-and-tested tools, and a set of fresh eyes.

Retired IT, Business & Marketing Consultant

[Let's talk](https://www.growthdriven.solutions/meetings/yoelbenavraham/startup-discovery-call?hsLang=en)

## This is how we get started

**Tell me about your business!**

What you’re building, who it’s for, and the question on your mind. An early idea is enough

**Book a conversation**

Pick a time that suits you. No pitch deck or preparation needed.

**Agree on a next step**

Another conversation, a closer look at your model or market, a marketing or CRM review, or a team workshop. No obligation.

## **FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS**

## Is the service really at no charge?

Yes. I will always offer my time, advice, consulting, or workshops for free—both for the first meeting and any that follow. I may occasionally ask you to cover out-of-pocket expenses, such as travel, etc. I might 

## Why are you offering this service?

I’m 75 and retired, but I still enjoy helping people turn ideas into something real. After 35 years of working with businesses, I have experience, practical tools, and lessons worth sharing. I’d rather put them to use than leave them on the shelf. This is my way of *paying it forward*: helping a new generation of founders ask the right questions, avoid common pitfalls, and build a stronger foundation for success.

## Do I need to use HubSpot?

No. We start with your business, not a platform: what you’re building, who you want to serve, and what’s getting in your way. I have hands-on experience with HubSpot, but you don’t need to use it—or buy any software—to work with me. If CRM or other technology could help, we’ll explore options that fit your needs, budget, and stage of growth. **The goal is to make your business work better, not add tools you don’t need.**

## We’re still at the idea stage. Is that too early?

Not at all. We can explore your customers, the problem you’re solving, and the model you have in mind. **The earlier you start,** the **clearer and more comprehensive** your planning will be, the f**ewer mistakes** you will make, and the **faster you will get to market.** 

## Can my co-founder or team join?

Absolutely! Your co-founder and team are welcome. We can have a conversation together or set up a focused workshop to explore your ideas. Including stakeholders with different perspectives in the discussion can help everyone better understand your business model, your customers, and how to reach them.

## Will you take on every request?

No. I only take on requests where my skills, experience, and methods are a good fit for your needs and goals. We’ll start with a conversation about what you want to achieve and where I can help. If we’re a suitable match, we’ll agree on how to work together. If not, I’ll always be upfront about it.
