MARK PRESTON - FOUNDER GROWTH PARTNER
I work alongside founders.
As a partner in the business.
I hold a personal stake in the businesses I am involved in. My contribution centres on customer growth: understanding what is holding it back and working with founders on what happens next.
What makes me a Founder Growth Partner?
Shared ownership
I have a personal stake in the business.
Alongside the founder
My experience complements theirs.
Active involvement
I contribute to decisions that influence customer growth.
What I personally bring.
I look for the underlying cause.
Where are suitable customers being lost, and why?
I connect the commercial decisions.
How do marketing, trust, sales and delivery affect one another?
I help establish what matters next.
Which change could make a meaningful difference, and who will take it forward?
The stake is personal.
So is the involvement.
Shared ownership connects me to what happens after a recommendation. My role and responsibilities reflect the needs of each business.
Where I put that thinking to work.
I hold a share in each of these businesses. My involvement differs across them.
I know business ownership from the inside.
I have built businesses, faced setbacks, rebuilt and worked alongside other owners. Those experiences shape the questions I ask and the practical perspective I bring.
The thinking behind my involvement.
My mechanic mindset became the Connect Those Dots Growth Framework®.
I look at how the parts work together, with the customer at the centre.
