Big business decisions, made with someone who’s made them before.
Growth has slowed, or the next stage needs a different plan. Your team needs a better way to operate, and AI keeps coming up. A sale, a raise or an acquisition is on the table. We help owners, executives and investors figure out what matters, make the call and put the plan to work.
“We have room to grow, but the way we sell won’t get us there.”
We figure out where your next dollar comes from and what’s in the way, then build the plan and the operating rhythm to go get it.
How you sell, price and go to market
A way of running things that doesn’t route every decision through one person
Where we come in.
“We’ve invested in AI tools, but nothing has really changed.”
We find where AI can save time or improve your numbers, pick the few uses worth doing, and change how the work gets done so the spend pays off.
A short list of uses worth funding, ranked by value and effort
Your team actually using the tools you already pay for
“We’re looking at an acquisition. What are we missing?”
We help you prepare for and assess a sale, a raise or an acquisition from the commercial and operating side. We work alongside your bankers, lawyers and accountants.
A hard look at a company before you buy it, from someone who’s run one
A clean, credible growth story when you raise
We’ve been in your seat.
Jones Standard was founded by someone who has run businesses, led teams and owned the number for nearly thirty years, inside companies like Dell and AMD and in businesses he started himself. That changes the advice. We know what a plan has to look like for a team to actually run it, and we stay in the room when the hard calls get made.
Most strategy problems are operating problems in a suit.
The advisor who won't sit in the chair with you shouldn't be at the table.
What working together looks like.
No long sales process and no mystery about what you’re paying for. Here’s how it goes from the first week on.
You’re probably here because…
We work with owners building businesses, executives responsible for a number, and investors deciding where to put capital. Most of the companies we focus on do $2 million to $50 million in revenue. We also work with leaders running teams and business units inside much larger companies, and our experience runs from startups to the Fortune 500.
Not a fit: companies that don’t have revenue yet, or anyone looking for a vendor to hand work off to.
Why Jones Standard.
I spent nearly thirty years inside companies like Dell, AMD, Chevron and Verizon. I ran a $170 million business line, built a services business from zero, and was chief of staff to the president of a $40 billion division. I’ve also started and run businesses of my own, so I know what it feels like when every decision lands on you.
Too many companies get a consultant who hands over a deck and leaves. I built Jones Standard to do the opposite, and to follow the problem wherever it actually lives, whether that’s sales, operations, technology or the deal.
That’s the standard. We sit in the seat next to you, help you make the call, and stay until it’s done. And if we’re not the right fit for what you need, we’ll tell you, and point you to someone who is.

Start with a Fit Screen.
We’re selective about the work we take on, so every engagement starts here. The Fit Screen takes about five minutes: a few questions about your business, what’s in the way and your timing. If it looks like a fit, you’ll get a link to book a 30-minute call with Jamal right away. If it isn’t, we’ll say so and point you somewhere better.
The calls that make or break the business.
