Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com
GROWTH IS MORE ABOUT A CHANGE TO
TEAM STRUCTURE, PEOPLE, METHODOLGY,
PROCESS NOT TACTICS/HACKS
Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com
LEARNING HOW TO GROW AUTHENTICALLY
DOESN’T START WITH TACTICS
Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com
PROCESS
Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com

4. YOU NEED A MACHINE
Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com
A GROWTH MACHINE IS…
1
2 PREDICTABLE
SCALABLE
3 REPEATABLE
THE MACHINE PRODUCES THE TACTICS
THE PROCESS MAKES THE MACHINE
Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com
BUILDING A GROWTH MACHINE
THE PROCESS
THE GOALS OF OUR PROCESS
1
2
LEARNING
Constant learning of our customer, product, channels
and feeding that learning into the process to improve.
3 AUTONOMY Individuals decide what they work on to achieve the
OKR’s.
4 ACCOUNTABILITY
With autonomy, comes accountability. You
don’t have to be right all the time, but there
is an expectation to improve.
RYTHYM
Momentum is powerful. Establish a cadence to fight
through failures, get to successes, and find
momentum

DAILY/WEEKLY
HOW WE SET GOALS (OKRs)
OBJECTIVE: Qualitative statement
TIMEFRAME: 30 - 90 Days
KR1: Measurable Goal 1 (Hit 90% Of Time)
KR2: Measurable Goal 2 (Hit 50% Of Time)
KR3: Measurable Goal 3 (Hit 10% Of Time)
Brian Balfour :: @bbalfour :: http://www.coelevate.com
AN EXAMPLE…
OBJECTIVE: MAKE VIRALITY A MEANINGFUL
CHANNEL
TIMEFRAME: 90 Days
KR1: 1.5% Viral/WAU
KR2: 2% Viral/WAU
KR3: 3% Viral/WAU

2 IN OUR FACE
INPUTS NOT OUTPUTS
3 CONCRETE	
OKR’s will never be set on on the
output (WAU) the will always be
set on the inputs.
OKR’s will be somewhere that we can’t forget
them. Review daily and weekly.
Goals will change mid-OKR VERY rarely.

4 WAYS TO COME UP
WITH GROWTH IDEAS
1 OBSERVE How are others doing it? Look outside of your
immediate product space. Walk through together.
2 QUESTION Question brainstorming. Why? What is… What if…
What about… How do we do more of…
3 ASSOCIATE Connect the dots between unrelated things. i.e What
if our activation process was like closing a deal?
4 NETWORK Growth mastermind groups. Build your network of
growth people. I’m on the phone every day for ideas
