About
We help people build, launch and grow profitable businesses.
Every business ends up in one of three places: it dies, it survives, or it thrives. The product never decides which. The system underneath it does.
About David
Twenty years building other people's businesses. Now building this one.
I spent over twenty years in corporate: Coca-Cola, Virgin Media, Virgin Mobile, and running European client services for a tech insurance business managing accounts for Tesco Mobile, Three, EE and Virgin Media. Redundancy in 2020 was the exit I'd been planning, not one I was forced into.
The six years since haven't been a straight line. A podcast. A sports nutrition brand that never shipped. PT and coaching qualifications. Real Performance Solutions is where all of it lands: the corporate systems experience, the coaching, and a clear view of exactly what stops a good idea from becoming a working business.
I'm not selling a shortcut. I'm selling the same discipline I used to run accounts worth millions, applied to your business instead of someone else's.
Why Real Performance Solutions exists
We build the systems that decide it.
Every business needs the same four systems, whatever you sell: one to get attention, one to turn it into revenue, one to deliver without breaking, and one to turn customers into your next lead. Real Performance Solutions builds all four, whichever way suits you: done with you, done for you, taught to you, or built alongside you in The Arena.
The Framework
The Real Business Engine
Every business runs on three engines, whether anyone's ever named them for you or not. This is the map we use for all four ways of working with us.
Lead Engine
Target
Know exactly who you're for.
Attract
Get in front of the right people.
Capture
Turn attention into a real lead.
Sales Engine
Nurture
Stay present until they're ready.
Convert
A process, not luck.
Close
Get to a clear yes.
Loyalty Engine
Deliver
Do what you promised, reliably.
Grow
Expand it once trust is earned.
Refer
Your next lead source.
The Method
Clarity. Strategy. Implementation.
Every engagement runs through the same three steps, whether it's a two-hour audit or a year-long retainer.
Clarity
Get completely clear on what you want, where you actually are, and what's really in the way. Most approaches skip this entirely.
Strategy
Built on first principles for your specific situation, not a template. The smallest step first, complexity only once the basics hold.
Implementation
Build it with AI to collapse the time it takes, then run it: act, assess, adjust, on repeat.
Ready when you are
Build. Launch. Grow.
Five ways to work with us — business consulting, business systems, AI training workshops, the Blueprint, or The Arena community. Pick the one that fits where you are, or talk it through first.
