Are You all about adding a proven process to your client engagements?

Your Competitive Edge: C3D Certification

Some pros want to add more than new tools - and some just want to gain new expertise.

As a business advisor, you’re not just offering advice—you’re shaping the future of the businesses you serve. But in a crowded market, how do you differentiate yourself? How do you command higher fees, attract top-tier clients, and deliver game-changing results?

The C3D Certification isn’t just another credential—it’s the gold standard for advisors who want to lead their clients through the 3 Dimensions of Business Growth: Predictable Profits, Growth & Value. 

This program is for advisors who refuse to settle for being just “good.” It’s for those who want to think at a higher level, create transformative impact, and be indispensable to their clients.

And as our founder George Sandmann would say: Your clients don’t need more theory. They need someone who can drive real, measurable business growth. That’s exactly what the C3D Certification equips you to do.

Why Earn the C3D?

 Win Bigger Clients, More Often – When you speak the language of real business growth, you instantly set yourself apart from generic consultants.

 Deliver Tangible Results – The C3D framework gives you a proven, structured approach to help clients scale—without guesswork.

 Multiply Your Value (and Your Fees) – Clients pay for results, not advice. The C3D positions you as a high-value strategic partner, not just a service provider.

 Access a Powerful Community – Surround yourself with elite advisors who think bigger, challenge limits, and create real impact.

This is not just about knowledge—it’s about mastery. It’s about becoming the go-to advisor that business owners trust to lead them toward exponential growth.

 If you’re ready to move beyond ordinary consulting and become a true growth architect for your clients, the C3D Certification is your next move.

Not a Business Advisor? We hear you. Hey, C3D is a great idea whether or not you want to leverage Growth-Drive's CLARITY technology. Some pros -especially wealth advisors- want to know what their business advisor partners do for growing profits and transferable value - even though as a wealth advisor they'll never get out the wrenches themselves. To you we say "Welcome!"
