About Bob Norton

If your company is not growing as fast and smoothly as you want, you need to implement proven and effective systems and strategies that will make it happen. But that’s easier said than done. The problem (it’s not your fault): Only 1 in 400 companies will ever reach $10M. Furthermore, only 1 in 6,300 will reach $100M! Indeed, scaling is statistically 1,260X harder than building a profitable startup!** To get your company to where you want it to go, you need to team up with someone who knows the way.** Achieving rapid, stress-free growth requires disciplined management and sophisticated systems. If you cannot (or don\'t want to) do all this yourself, leverage our expertise at AirTight Management, and benefit from our comprehensive approach that drives exceptional results and propels your company forward.\': More time to focus on high-value tasks Management discipline and systems that cut scaling time from 8-10 years to one Access to curated growth principles, systems, and processes Proprietary Leadership O/S for seamless growth Doubling your growth rate in months and sales in one year Significant valuation increases, with some clients achieving up to a 300X ROI : We remove all growth limiters – without disruption – and offer a $10M guarantee with a low retainer for many clients: Your company is performing well, but growth isn\'t as rapid and smooth as you\'d like Operational challenges are draining your time and energy You\'re uncertain how to scale effectively, overwhelmed, frustrated You\'re struggling with people issues, turnover, or capital Sales are fluctuating wildly You want to enter new markets, but that requires more agility than you can muster You\'re spending too much time/money on low-value tasks and people problems With two decades of curating top growth principles, systems, and processes, we\'ve returned over $1 billion in profits to investors and scaled many startups to $100M and more.
