For growth leaders in logistics, supply chain, distribution & professional services

Your growth strategy is only
as strong as the
team executing it.

Most leaders we work with don't have a strategy problem. They have a gap between what they've decided and what their team can actually deliver — and no system designed to close it. We build the operating model that makes your vision executable at every level, in any market, without it all depending on you.

Hours a sales leader spends inside deals their team should own. Every week. That's not a bandwidth problem — it's a system problem.

The problem

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

Most sales organizations weren't designed — they evolved. And for a while that's fine. But when growth gets harder, complexity increases, or the market shifts, organizations without a real system don't just slow down. They depend on their best people to compensate. And that's not sustainable.

What we hear most
You didn't build this to live inside other people's deals.
But here you are — in late-stage conversations, unblocking decisions, closing gaps your team should be closing. It's working. It's also the reason you can't scale. Growth that depends on you showing up isn't a growth engine. It's a treadmill.
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 forecast what you can't replicate — and 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.
There's a gap between what you've decided and what shows up in the field every day. 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.

Holly LaBoda, Founder of Formula L4
Holly LaBoda
Founder & Chief Growth Officer · Formula L4

We've been inside your world for 18 years — not observing it from the outside, but working in it. Our founder spent a decade at C.H. Robinson designing enterprise sales systems and leading a full go-to-market redesign before building Formula L4 from the patterns she saw break organizations of every size.

We've worked with 3PLs, asset-based carriers, freight brokerages, distributors, and professional services firms. We know what good execution looks like on the floor, not just in the boardroom. And we know the difference between a market problem and a system problem — because we've seen both, across enough organizations to know which one you're actually dealing with.

How it works

From signal to strategy
to a team that executes.

No 90-day discovery projects before anything happens. No frameworks that sit on a shelf. Every step produces something real — and hands off cleanly to the next.

Step 01
Name the constraint
The Growth Inflection Signals tool identifies which of five patterns is limiting your growth right now — in five minutes, with an immediate result. No benchmarks. No scoring against other companies. Just a clear read on what's actually happening in your organization.
Outcome → You know which constraint to address first
Step 02
Confirm fit and direction
A 30-minute Growth Momentum Call with Holly to sharpen the diagnosis and determine the right next step. We use your constraint result, ask about the numbers that matter, and tell you honestly which path fits your situation — the Growth Roadmap, a full Partnership, or neither right now.
Outcome → A clear recommendation, not a vague next conversation
Step 03
Build the strategy. Start the work.
Most clients begin with The Growth Roadmap — a focused 6–8 week engagement that runs your diagnostic and your team's development simultaneously. You leave with a strategy you built together and a team already in motion. From there, the Formula L4 Partnership executes the full system.
Outcome → A plan you own and a team that can run it
What is the Growth Roadmap Session?

A full strategic planning session — four hours — that produces a real growth strategy your leadership team built together. It works that fast because the diagnostic work preceding it establishes the current state before anyone sits down. You're not spending half a day arguing about what's true. You're building what comes next. You leave with:

  • A shared current state your full leadership team has seen and accepted
  • A clear desired state — the direction, and why it's the right one
  • Goals and metrics that define what success actually looks like
  • Strategies sequenced around highest-impact priorities first
  • A Growth Roadmap document you own — regardless of what comes next

Available in-person (single 4-hour session) or virtual (2–3 sessions, same total time). The roadmap is yours to keep. It credits toward a full Partnership if you choose to move forward.

TMC Transportation · Logistics · Des Moines, IA
From operational provider to strategic partner — in 9 months

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. They needed their people to sell at a higher level, without the leaders carrying the load.

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

"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, TMC

What clients say

You'll be in
good company

"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 level of comfort we had was more important than bidding this to nine companies. Great resume, great body of work, tons of experience. Their consultative nature made us want to dive in."

Mike Crist — SVP Logistics, TMC Transportation

"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

You didn't build this company to spend your days unblocking other people's deals. 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 Roadmap → Partnership

Start with The Growth Roadmap — a focused engagement that builds your strategy, establishes your current state, and gets your team's development started in parallel. 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 Roadmap → Platform

The Growth Roadmap produces your strategy and identifies 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.
