Think Bigger. Build Bigger.

Gain a 10X mindset and a real strategic growth plan to match in just 7 sessions.

Ready to build a company that runs on a plan, not your calendar?

Most Arkansas founders carry the same ambition: build something that doesn’t depend on them being in every meeting, take the weekends back, and finally have a real written plan instead of a hopeful one. The vision is clear. The time to build it never seems to be.

10X breaks that loop.

For 7 sessions across 14 weeks, we pull you and your leadership team out of the day-to-day to build something most leaders never finish: a real strategic growth plan, written by you, designed to scale.

Nine cohorts and over 100 Arkansas companies have completed 10X with that plan in hand, and every single one of them says it was worth it.

The difference in a year will be unrecognizable.

Your leadership team can recite the plan without notes. Your sales process doesn’t depend on your calendar. You have a group of peers you can text when something hard comes up. You’re working on the business more than you’re working in it. Your KPIs tell you on Monday whether the week will be good rather than on Friday when it’s too late to course-correct. And the conversation about your company has shifted from “how do we keep up” to “how big are we ready to go.”

How 10X gets you there.

The program is built around 7 in-person sessions across 14 weeks, designed for you and your leadership team to work through together. Each session tackles a different piece of what it actually takes to scale—the revenue engine, the operations, the people, the financials—and ends with you a step closer to a written plan you can run.

Our program features key ingredients that give you a competitive advantage:

A Plan You'll Actually Execute

By the end of the accelerator, you'll have a streamlined Strategic Growth Plan in hand that your team can execute on right away.

An Aligned Leadership Team

Bring up to three people from you leadership team to plan together. The alignment creates ownership to the plan that drives adoption.

A Network of Arkansas Leaders

Meet & collaborate with other Arkansas small business owners from a variety of industries to get an "out of the box" perspective.

A Team of Experienced Advisors

Every 10X advisor has built, scaled, and led companies, so you'll gain wisdom from operators who have been where you are today.

Designed for business builders who are ready to do the work.

Each of the 7 in-person sessions is designed to establish key concepts and then set up implementation. You’ll work alongside your leadership team and your cohort, with structured time to think strategically instead of reactively. By the final session, you’ll have a written Strategic Growth Plan and the clarity to act on it.

Here’s what each session covers:

Virtual Session

Kickoff

August 4th, 2026 12-1:30

The kickoff of this growth accelerator focuses on establishing a 10X growth mindset. As you begin to get out of the daily grind and start to work on your business, it’s essential to establish an orientation toward success. This is your first step.

August 11th, 2026

Session One | Revenue Velocity

Revenue Velocity: Ideal Client Profile and Unique Value Proposition

This phase of the 10X Growth Accelerator develops the strategies that become the economic engine of your business. First, you must eliminate the wide-open approach and articulate your specific solution. Then you can pinpoint the best audience that needs what you have to offer.

Digital Marketing

Once you understand your solution and your audience, it’s time to communicate that to the masses. Digital has become the standard for marketing efforts, and there are more opportunities than ever before to reach your audience through the entire customer journey. You need a complete marketing strategy that leads to meaningful conversions.

Developing Your Elevator Pitch

After digging deep into the minutiae of your business solutions, it can feel overwhelming to distill those details into a short, punchy message that your ideal audience will instantly understand. That’s where a well-crafted elevator pitch comes in. You can effortlessly introduce your brand to the world in a way that immediately captures attention.

August 25th, 2026

Session Two | Revenue Velocity / Innovation Readiness

Sales Process

Many founders agree that sales are vital to their business, yet they struggle to follow a repeatable sales process. You’ve worked to get an audience interested in your solution – now it’s time to make the sale! The good news is that it is possible to implement a proven sales process for your business.

Innovation Readiness

Innovation and leadership go hand in hand. Innovation is about planned change—using creativity, ideation, and invention to improve processes or seize new opportunities. When founders build innovation readiness, they position their businesses to respond to market needs, create meaningful value for customers, and grow more effectively.

September 8th, 2026

Session Three | Organization & Operational Effectiveness

Operational Effectiveness: Scalable Processes

If you push to 10X by simply selling more things and hiring more people, you are bound to stall or collapse altogether without scalable processes. Assess your operations, including people, processes, technology, and key performance indicators, and look for optimizations that position your company to handle 10X growth.

September 22nd, 2026

Session Four | Leadership Effectiveness

Leadership Effectiveness & Culture

As you begin to see your strategic growth plan take shape, it’s important to remember the role of leadership and culture. Effective leadership and a well-defined culture become the driving force of your organization. We will dive deep into the soft skills that must be present to build a high-performing team.

October 6th, 2026

Session Five | Financial Disciplines / Digital Readiness

Financial Disciplines: Managing by the Numbers

As you put your business on a 10X growth trajectory, having a clear picture of your financials becomes increasingly important. You will quickly get past operating on fuzzy numbers and feelings, as potential blindspots can lead to disaster. It is possible to manage your business through a vital set of financial metrics without a finance degree.

Digital Readiness

Digital readiness can be the key ingredient to ignite growth. Businesses in any industry can leverage digital technologies to increase efficiency and productivity in their operations. You will analyze how well you take advantage of technology and uncover new opportunities using data-driven decision making.

October 20th, 2026

Session Six | Strategic Growth Planning Intensive

Strategic Growth Planning Process

Now that your mindset and motivations are clear, it’s time to begin to plan for 10X growth. We will redefine strategic growth planning and introduce a new method that’s concise and actionable. This plan is how we start to define what you stand for, where you’re going, and the DNA of your organization.

10X Growth Plan Drafting Day

With your Mission, Vision, and Core Values defined, it’s time to lay out the specific steps that will become your path to 10X. In this all-day workshop, you will complete the initial draft of your 10X Strategic Growth Plan. Get unstuck with the guidance of your advisors and achieve breakthroughs with outside perspectives from your fellow cohort members.

November 10th, 2026

Session Seven | SGS Presentations & Launch

Final Presentations of 10X Growth Plan

After 12 weeks of refining your 10X Growth Plan, it’s time to show off your company's future. Share your newly defined Mission, Vision, Core Values, and the Long-term Targets, Short-term Goals, and Key Performance Indicators you will use to get you to your Vision. Finally, declare your brand promise and how you’ll make a difference.

Launch

Most people would call the last of anything a finale. For us, however, it’s just the beginning of your path to 10X. That’s why the last week of the 10X Growth Accelerator is the LAUNCH week. It’s time to celebrate all that you’ve accomplished and cheer each other on as you begin your journey to future success.

Meet Your Advisors

The 10X advisor group has lived experience as operators, not just consultants. They’ve signed the payroll, made the hard calls, and led companies through challenges and triumphs. That means you get real-world wisdom over textbook theory and the experience of 100+ Arkansas companies served through this program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the catch?

The catch is your willingness to commit to 7 in-person days across 14 weeks, plus the time between sessions to work through the details with your team. That’s the real ask. Beyond that, there’s no equity and no fees thanks to the Arkansas Economic Development Commission and their support for high-growth, Arkansas-based companies.

What are the requirements to participate in the 10X Growth Accelerator Program?

Your company must meet the following criteria to participate in the 10X Growth Accelerator Program:

The company must be tech or tech-enabled with annual average revenues from $100,000 to $10,000,000.
The company is based in Arkansas.
Your organization is growth-oriented, and you can fully commit to this program in it’s entirety.
The owner or C-level team member will be present at every meeting.

How much does the program cost?

The 10X Growth Accelerator is available at no cost for Arkansas-based businesses, thanks to grant funding from the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.

Why should I commit 14 weeks to a growth accelerator like 10X?

Arkansas is full of companies with the potential to scale far beyond their current state. The biggest problem we see is the lack of an effective strategic growth plan that sets the business up for sustainable growth. The other problem we see is business owners and executives stuck in the day-to-day so much that they can’t get time to focus on the business.

The 10X Growth Accelerator tackles both of those problems head-on, allowing business owners time to focus on the future growth of their company with the team, tools, and peers to support them along the way. The 14-week time investment will pay off exponentially.

What kind of companies can benefit from the program?

The businesses that see the most success from the 10X Growth Accelerator have a business model that is capable of 10X growth. They also – but not always – have a team (as few as 5 employees) and generally focus on B2B sales.

Where is the accelerator program located?

The 10X Growth Accelerator is housed in the Arnold Innovation Center in Conway, AR. Participants will meet 7 times in person from 9 am to 4 pm with some virtual meetings and asynchronous content in between.

What kind of commitment can I expect?

Participants are asked to participate in at least 80% of the in-person and virtual convenings in order to remain in the program. The program has proven to help alumni companies grow exponentially, but in order to experience that growth, participants have to engage actively in the content and actively build a plan for growth.

Who from our organization can attend the meetings?

Companies can bring up to 3 individuals from their organization in C-suite level positions. We ask that all participants who enroll regularly attend the meetings to keep continuity in conversations and content, as well as build relationships within the cohort to provide peer-to-peer feedback.

Hear From Our Alumni

"10X was an inspiring space for deep reflection, evaluation, and entrepreneurship, with the support of objective experts and vast business experience. This is a must for every business owner who wants to grow their business to a whole new level.”

"If you're an entrepreneur or business owner that wants to really 10X and grow your business - you have to apply for this program. It is fantastic. I can't tell you enough good things about it."

"Every business has "missing pieces" that we may not realize are missing until it is too late. 10X forced me to recognize those missing pieces earlier than I would have without intervention. Now, with all the right pieces, we are ready to grow revenue 10X."

"The 10X Program is a fantastic resource and opportunity for scaling businesses. I highly recommend it to all qualifying entrepreneurs - it will improve you and your company in countless ways!"

"What we learned in The Conductor’s 10x program changed the way we do business. They challenged us to think critically about our infrastructure and forced us to develop a plan to scale. In the 15 months since graduating from the program, our revenue and client base has more than doubled. Kudos to The Conductor’s team for pushing us to think big!"

The experience was extremely positive. I have been a student of business growth strategies for many years (EOS and Vern Harnish, 4DX etc.), been involved in other business coaching and mentor programs (as both mentor and mentee) and this was extremely well done and valuable. I particularly loved the "team" aspect of the AR Conductor approach and greatly valued having so many expert voices contributing to our growth! Each with their own style and value.

You're In Good Company.
