Free RACE growth frameworks

Find the Growth Bottleneck in Your Business

Download a free RACE growth framework for your industry and review how people discover your business, show interest, buy, and return. Choose the version that fits your business, then use its questions and scorecard to decide what deserves attention first.

Think about a bucket with a leak. Pouring in more water keeps you busy, but finding the leak gives you a better place to start. Your marketing deserves the same attention before you spend more trying to fill it.

What does RACE help you review?

Reach

Are the right people discovering your business? Review where your visibility comes from and whether it reaches people you can serve.

Acquire

Are people taking a useful next step? For service businesses, that means qualified leads. For restaurants, it can include viewing the menu, booking, calling, requesting directions, or voting on a dish or special.

Convert

Does that interest become a purchase? Review paying customers, completed orders, or paid restaurant visits using records that confirm a sale.

Expand

Do customers return or buy another suitable service? Review repeat purchases, renewals, and the value of your existing customer relationships.

Choose your industry framework

Each PDF applies the same four questions to a different customer journey. Choose the version that reflects how people do business with you.

What is inside each framework?

Each deck gives you a structure for a working conversation about your business. You can use it on your own or review it with the people who handle your marketing and customer experience.

  • The four RACE stages applied to your industry
  • Questions to help identify where progress slows
  • A small scorecard with meaningful measures
  • A clearly labeled hypothetical example
  • A proposed 90-day improvement plan
  • A connection between RACE diagnosis and the Released Solutions ROCK process

Questions about the frameworks

Is the framework free?

Yes. Choose an available industry and submit the form to receive the PDF. You do not need to book a consultation or join a marketing list to get it.

Which version should I choose?

Choose Restaurants if you want to review guest interest, visits, orders, and repeat dining. Choose Service Businesses if you generate inquiries, qualify prospects, and turn them into paying customers.

Does viewing a menu count as a restaurant sale?

No. A menu view, a vote, a call, or a directions request signals interest. The restaurant deck keeps those actions separate from completed purchases.

Can I use this without advertising or automation?

Yes. The questions help you examine your current business process. The next improvement might involve your website, follow-up, availability, or customer experience rather than a new advertising campaign or automation.

What if my industry is not listed?

The four stages still offer useful questions, but the available decks focus on the industries listed above. If you are unsure which applies, ask Released Solutions about your business before choosing.

Will I receive marketing emails?

We will email the link to the framework you request. Occasional marketing emails are optional, and the checkbox starts unchecked. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.

Want help finding your bottleneck?

If you want help connecting the findings to your website, follow-up, or online presence management, we can talk through where your customer journey slows down. Start with one business goal and one part of the journey you want to understand better.
