For growth leaders in logistics, supply chain & distribution

Strategy is built in the boardroom.
It lives or dies in the field.

Formula L4 is a sales operating system. It takes your growth strategy all the way to the front line, built into the business, led by your managers, sold by your team, and kept in sync as everything changes. It's the system every growth company needs and almost none has actually built.

The problem

The market didn't break
your growth engine.
It was never built to scale.

You set the strategy. You communicated it. That's the part most leaders get right, and it's easy to assume it's enough. It isn't. Communicating a strategy doesn't stop your comp, your process, and your rhythms from quietly rewarding something else. It doesn't teach your managers to coach it. It doesn't give your sellers the skills and the resources to run it in front of a customer. That's where strategy quietly disappears, not for lack of a plan, and not for lack of saying it out loud. Formula L4 closes that distance: it builds the commercial strategy, wires it into your systems, equips your leaders to lead it and your sellers to sell it, and keeps all four in sync as the market moves. The strategy was never the hard part. Neither was the training. Keeping all of it in sync is.

What we hear most
You set the direction. The field kept its habits.
You aligned the leadership team, communicated the plan, ran the kickoff. Then execution drifted back to whatever each seller already knew. The strategy didn't fail. It just never became how the team sells.
What we hear next
What works in one rep doesn't travel.
Your best sellers are carrying the number. Everyone else is improvising. You can't build a business on execution that only works in certain hands.
What's underneath both
Your strategy is clear. Your team's version of it isn't.
That gap is where margin erodes, deals drag, and good people get frustrated. It's not a people problem. It's a system problem, and it's fixable.

How it works

01
Start here · Free · 30 minutes
Book a Growth Momentum Review
A free 30-minute Growth Momentum Review on what's slowing your growth right now. You'll leave with a clearer picture of what's going on and what to do next.

You arrive with a growth problem you've been working on. Holly listens, asks the questions worth answering, and works with you to see your situation more clearly. Sometimes the conversation confirms you're already doing the right things. Sometimes it reframes a problem you've been stuck on. Sometimes it gives you the confidence to solve it internally. And sometimes it surfaces a place where Formula L4 might be able to help.

If a next step makes sense, Holly will say so, and recommend either the Growth Activation Sprint or a direct move into a Partnership. If it doesn't, she'll tell you that too, and suggest what she'd do instead. Either way, the 30 minutes are designed to be useful on their own.

Outcome → A clearer read on your situation, and a useful next step, with or without us
02
First paid engagement · Weeks, not months
Pick one shift. Activate the system.
The Growth Activation Sprint activates your whole system around one real shift, in weeks. Your team builds the skill, your leaders learn to coach it, and you see the change first-hand.

Pick the shift that matters most, prospecting, account development, discovery, negotiation, sharper business reviews. We run a Growth Readiness diagnostic across your leadership team, then activate the shift together, in person or fully remote, with your leaders coaching it alongside us so it sticks.

You leave with a real, visible change in one core skill, leaders who can coach and sustain it, and a prioritized roadmap for the shifts that come next. One shift becomes living proof of how the whole system works.

Outcome → A visible change your team owns, and the next shift in view
03
The full system · 6-month minimum · Scaled by team size
Formula L4 Partnership
Full system build and execution. We build the operating model your growth requires, develop the leaders who run it, and equip the sellers who execute it.

A minimum six-month engagement that delivers the full Formula L4 system, from diagnostic and strategy through process design, leadership development, and frontline skill building. Sized to your organization, built around your strategy, executed with your team. Bi-weekly coaching, quarterly facilitation, and ongoing LIFT Method delivery cadence make the system run without you carrying it.

Outcome → A sales operation that compounds growth without depending on heroics

Read the full story

TMC's logistics division was growing, but their account managers were leaving revenue on the table. Leaders kept jumping in to help close business. With nearly 100 sellers, that wasn't sustainable.

We built a 9-month program around their real accounts, their real customers, and their specific growth goals. Each manager selected an account and grew it 30% using the frameworks and approaches developed throughout. Practical. Measurable. Built to last.

"What they've put together is the best way to fast track an employee from average to outstanding."

David Bennett, VP Logistics, TMC Transportation

"Nobody better at organizing, facilitating and driving results from strategic sessions. She combines creativity with leadership goals to drive real conversation, and results."

Jason Luedtke, President

"The feedback from every single person who went through it: 'they get my struggle.' Specific things, discovery calls, asking questions, overcoming objections."

Shane Conaway, Sr. Manager of Professional Development

"We've dealt with consultants before. They rarely have this depth of industry knowledge. The team is already implementing what they learned and seeing results."

John Gaudet, Chief Commercial Officer

What's at stake

What it costs
to keep waiting

You're the ceiling on your own growth
Your best people are running out of patience
Every quarter without a system is a quarter competitors aren't waiting
The same problems resurface, just with higher stakes

The leaders who sustain growth through hard markets are the ones whose organizations were built to run without them carrying the weight. That's not a function of talent. It's a function of design.

Why we're different

What working with us
actually feels like

No band-aids
We don't fix symptoms. We find what's actually causing them, and build something that holds when the market gets hard again.
Hard truths
You'll hear what you need to hear, not what's comfortable. Respectful. Direct. The kind of conversation that actually moves things forward.
Leave it better
When we're done, your team runs without us. That's the goal from day one. Not a long-term engagement, but lasting capability.
By design
Everything is built around your strategy, your customers, your competitive reality. Not a template. Not our playbook applied to your situation.

Two paths forward

Same destination.
Different starting points.

Where you start depends on what your organization needs most right now. A strategy you can execute, or the development to execute the strategy you already have.

I need strategy and a system to execute it
The Growth Activation Sprint → Partnership

Start with The Growth Activation Sprint, a focused engagement that activates one real shift and reads where your whole system is strong and where it's leaking. From there, the Formula L4 Partnership delivers the full operating system: process, leadership, and the skill development cadence that makes it run without you carrying it.

I have strong leaders, I need my team's skills to catch up
The Growth Activation Sprint → Platform

The Growth Activation Sprint proves one shift and surfaces your team's specific competency gaps. From there, the Formula L4 Growth Platform gives your leaders the development library, LIFT Method delivery tools, and manager coaching cadence to run the skill-building themselves, with your strategy as the guide.
