Top questions our clients ask

Straight answers about the 90-Day Sprint, how we work, and teaming with FourStage. Don't see your question? Email hello@fourstage.co — we respond within one business day.

What is FourStage and who do you work with?

FourStage & Co. is a business transformation practice — brand, growth, and operations delivered as one sequenced engagement instead of three separate vendors. We work with established small and mid-size businesses ready to scale. Our offices are in Atlanta, Fort Lauderdale, and Nashville, and engagements run remotely nationwide. Twenty+ years, 200+ engagements.

How does the FourStage Framework work?

Every engagement moves through four stages — Inspire, Define, Activate, Thrive — so nothing gets built out of order and nothing gets built twice. It starts with the Business Growth Hierarchy℠, a five-minute diagnostic that places your business on one of five levels and shows exactly what to build first.

What do I get in the $5,000 Brand Foundation Sprint?

A complete brand strategy and visual identity system — logo, assets, and guidelines — plus your foundational CRM on ThriveSuite, delivered in 30 days. Your time commitment is two to three hours a week; we do the building. Month 2 ($6,500) adds your lead-generating website and digital marketing, and Month 3 moves to the Thrive Retainer, starting at $697/month. Each step is optional — no long-term commitment.

Why do you only take two new clients per month?

Because the Sprint is senior-led — the people who scope your work do the work. Limiting starts to two a month is how we deliver our best work in 30 days, every time, without handing you to a bench.

What happens after the 90 days?

You own everything we build — the brand assets, the website, and the systems. Most clients continue on the Thrive Retainer (from $697/month) so the engine keeps improving, but there's no obligation. Build once, scale forever is the goal.

Do you work with government agencies and prime contractors?

Yes. FourStage delivers management consulting and strategic communications to the public sector, and we actively team with prime contractors as a small-business subcontractor. See our GovCon page for capabilities and business details, or email partner@fourstage.co.
