Ideal Client Acquisition: The Smarter Growth Path

You’ve built success. Now it’s about scaling on your terms. At SRT, we help firm owners identify, pursue, and win ideal clients who represent meaningful lifetime value, clients that energize you, drive enterprise value and not drain you.

We don’t build referral circles… You already have the key relationships to grow now We build leaders who know how to attract, close, and serve the right clients consistently and profitably, using credibility, relationships, and systems that fit your strengths.

What do you want to learn about most?

We teach you to own your market by building trust at scale, one intentional connection at a time.

Why SRT Exists

Most firm owners hit a ceiling, not from lack of skill, but from lack of structure and focus. They’ve outgrown “random referrals” and need a disciplined way to generate growth that aligns with their purpose and that they enjoy leading. SRT exists to make that shift possible.

We help owners:

  • Design clear systems to win high-value, right-fit clients
  • Stay accountable for consistent action and measurable progress
  • Build visibility and credibility that attracts opportunity in their market
  • Enjoy growing and leading their firm

Who We Serve

SRT is built for owners of established professional service firms with ideal client values of at least $250K+ who want to scale by design, not by chance.

We work with:

  • Financial, legal, and accounting firm owners
  • Consulting, coaching, and M&A advisory principals
  • Boutique firm leaders serving sophisticated business clients

If you’re tired of shallow networking and aimless prospecting that never builds confidence and waste time and money, SRT gives you the structure and accountability to grow with focus and integrity.

The SRT Experience

SRT is built around action and accountability,
not just ideas.

Twice a year, members gather in Roanoke, Virginia for deep collaboration, focused strategy, and mutual accountability.

Between events, our private digital community, personally led by Mike Garrison, keeps you engaged, measuring progress, sharing wins, and holding each other to the standard of consistent, purposeful execution.

We don’t trade referrals. We challenge each other to earn them in our own markets through clarity, visibility, and credibility.
