Hi, I’m Katherine.
Strategist, director of ops, sales specialist with a BSc in Psychology.
Before founding The Pocket Strategist, I spent more than 20 years in senior roles across sales, operations, recruitment and leadership at Debenhams, Screwfix, Wrigleys and LV Insurance.
I set up The Pocket Strategist off the back of burnout. Work had become my whole life, and I'd completely lost myself. It took hitting that wall to realise there was a better way to live.
In the four years since, I've worked with more than 200 businesses. I quickly understand the business, the owner and the problems. And together, we refocus the strategy, simplify and build a great business that gives them a great life.
Your business has got too complicated.
I work with two kinds of business owners; both want to grow but just can’t work out how.
Those who aren't making enough sales and can't work out where the growth is going to come from. And those who are doing well, are at capacity, but have hit a ceiling they just can't see past.
Somewhere along the way, the business has become more complicated than it needs to be. The offer isn't clear enough. The focus is scattered. There's too much going on and not enough of the right things.
You can't grow out of that. You have to simplify first.
I strip the business back. We find what's actually driving results and what's just creating noise. We simplify, sharpen and clear the path, and suddenly you can see exactly where your time and energy need to go.
Most clients describe it as a weight being lifted. Because it is.
