For Mid-Market CEOs ($10M-$250M) Who Need to Scale Without Breaking
Is Your Success Becoming Your Biggest Threat?
You built your business through vision, grit, and smart decisions. Now your company is growing—revenue is up, you’re adding employees, and expanding into new markets.
But instead of feeling triumphant, you’re feeling frustrated.
“We were hitting our revenue targets, but our profits were shrinking. Everyone was working harder, but we were getting less done. Something had to change.”
— CEO, $40M Manufacturing Company
The Problem:
Success Is Creating Its Own Obstacles
Do any of these sound familiar?
Decision
Bottlenecks
Too many decisions land on your desk, slowing progress and blocking growth.
Leadership
Strain
Your best managers are overwhelmed and burning out.
Departmental
Silos
Teams compete rather than collaborate, with frequent finger-pointing.
Process
Breakdowns
Systems that worked at a smaller scale now cause delays and errors.
Cultural
Dilution
Your once-unified culture is fragmenting as you add new people.
These are NOT signs of failure.
They're the predictable symptoms of success.
Research from the National Center for the Middle Market confirms:
70% of fast-growing mid-market companies experience significant performance disruptions during periods of rapid expansion, resulting in margin compression, declining customer retention, and increased operational inefficiencies.
Where does your company stand? Let's Find Out.
WARNING:
The Cost of Delaying Is Higher Than You ThinkWhat happens when growing pains are ignored:
54%
of mid-market companies experience leadership exodus during unchecked growth phases.

[SHRM]
42%
average decline in EBITDA seen in our clients during prolonged growing pain periods.
[Jane Gentry & Co]
Up To 80%
of acquisition opportunities are missed due to inadequate organizational infrastructure.
[BCG]
Companies that ignore growing pains don't plateau—they decline. And the longer you wait, the harder (and more expensive) the fix becomes.
“We waited too long to address our growing pains. What could have been a 6-month transition turned into a 2-year recovery that nearly cost us our largest customers.”
— Former CEO, $15M Media Services Company

“Unlike many consultants who focus on only the organizational or individual level, Jane works well in both areas to deliver amazing results. She not only gave valuable advice, she was also in the trenches with us executing and helping gain enrollment from our teams on initiatives.”

Voices of Success:
The Jane Gentry Effect
Jimmy Parker
Organizational & Talent Development Architect
From a strategic perspective, Jane has helped our organization think through complex issues and provide an objective view on corporate initiatives. I have observed her keen ability to connect disparate elements to form a cohesive picture when strategizing and working with our executive team . Unlike many consultants who focus on only the organizational or individual level, Jane works well in both areas to deliver amazing results. She not only gave our team valuable advice, but she was also in the trenches with us executing and helping gain enrollment from our teams on initiatives. Jane brings confidence and focus to her work, and I would have no hesitation in recommending her.

My team and I had the pleasure of working with Jane over a 6 month period to conceptualize, design and implement a new customer engagement model with the aim of optimizing our go-to-market activities and driving pipeline efficiency and effectiveness. Jane brought a wealth of sales and go-to-market knowledge and experiences to bear as well as offering practical coaching and guidance to our people across multiple functions, career levels and geographies.

I HIGHLY recommend Jane. She is an incredible motivator, adviser and coach. She puts into practice what she teaches by developing a meaningful engagement with the audience and explains and trains content in a sustainable and applicable way for your daily work life. Her tools are REAL and ACTIONABLE. You can truly use her tools to build stronger business relationships.
