It Can Be tough connecting the dots.

Building a Microsoft Practice is challenging at the best of times. Wondering how you're really doing and what moves to make next?

You're not alone!

We're here to help.

Take The Assessment

We've combined all of the experience from the last 18 years of building Microsoft Partner businesses and created the Business Balance Assessment.

During an interview I'll personally navigate you through the process and then clearly map out how each area of your business is doing.

From there, we'll provide a tailored report with recommendations on where to focus and what to do next.

Dig In To the Metrics That Really Matter.

No vanity measures and random "because-some-textbook-said-so" metrics. 

We know what's really important for a Microsoft services and software business. That's what the assessment covers.

Get a report on each business unit, and recommendations on what to focus on next.

It's Simpler Than You Think.

Other consultants get paid by the size of their report - The louder the thud when it hits the table, the more you pay.

We know you don't have time for that!

How? Experience. I didn't have time for it while running my Dynamics 365 practices. So I know what you're dealing with.

That's why the process is condensed. Focusing on only what matters. With clear, concise feedback and recommendations.  

(We also stopped printing out and binding documents when Vista launched.)

Tiered Pricing

Adjusted for turnover, your price is based on the size of your business right now.

It's a cost effecive way to get access to exclusive insights that were previously reserved for a select few Microsoft Partners.

How Does It Work?

The assessment process will take between 2 and 6 hours based on the size and structure of your business. 

The report and recommendations will take a further 10 to 14 days to create. 

Yes.

But so far Partners I’ve worked with have chosen to run the assessment a few times over the financial year to track progress and define their goals for the next period. 

It’s a common request. Additional costs will apply based on your location, timing and other factors. 

My team can generate a custom quotation for you on that basis. 

We’ve created a tiered pricing solution to suit your business.

The above pricing is based on current turnover of your business. 

If you required a customer quotation, let us know. 

Upon confirmation, we’ll set up a briefing session via Teams. 

You’ll get a insight into the process and a structure to prepare for the next engagement.

We’ll complete the assessment together, aftewhich I’ll analyse the data and provide you with a report on the current state of your business and recommendations on what to focus on next.  

The report is generated in the form of a PowerPoint presentation. 

It’s the best format for review, presentation and general discussion within your team. 

I'm Paul Slade

Founder of Slade Consulting. I'm a proven entrepreneur and 18+ year veteran of the Dynamics 365 industry.

In that time, I’ve founded two successful Dynamics 365 practices, both of which were acquired by significant players in the IT sector and I've worked for Microsoft.

There have been tough times in that process. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve learnt a lot. Lessons that make me a more valuable advisor and coach to companies just like yours.
