The three-year anniversary of consulting, coaching and event business, Regrowth, offered a chance to reflect on the strategy that has helped the business thrive.

The company has come a long way since its founding in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when some might have thought it unwise to establish a venture dependent on social interaction.

Acknowledging that it was a concern, founder Kylie Walsh points to that very activity – of building strong relationships – that was not only the bedrock of the business’s purpose but also the factor that has allowed it to succeed despite the challenges. In considering what has allowed the company to scale up considerably during its years of operation, Walsh consistently mentions both people and relationships.

“Your network is your net worth,” she said of the concept that has been proven over these three years of growing the business.

From the outset, Regrowth has brought a simple and yet unique offering to the real estate community: tailoring the success strategy to the person at hand.

“We offer a variety of different coaches who have diversity of thought and skill set, to deliver specialised coaching and consulting needs to all business pillars across agency practice,” Walsh explained.

She puts much of the firm’s success down to not only a high-performing team behind the wheel but also the clients who have come to the table.

As we celebrate our third anniversary, we are immensely grateful everyday for the trust and support from our clients and our team. The continuous support has been instrumental in propelling us forward as we strive to be the very best we can be to lighten the load and think outside the box,” she commented.

Co-director Lauren Kirk agreed. “For us it’s all about mutuality of success for customer and team. We truly are driven to deliver different content, strategy and ideas for each customer. Each client is different and driven by a unique passion and outcomes and as such deserves a bespoke approach,” she said.

To mark the momentous occasion, the business has affirmed that it is taking stock of the achievement and making time for some celebrations. After that, they’re looking to the next three years.

According to Walsh, the forward focus is on refining the service offering to drill down on “areas of demand in our industry and customers’ needs”.

Looking at the real estate ecosystem at the moment, she seeds a definite desire for guidance when it comes choosing from the many tech offerings promising to make life simpler for professionals in all aspects of the industry.

“We’ve identified that customers need a lot of help deciphering which technology to deploy in their business and which technology to keep. With pressure on profit and pressure on subscription costs, they need help to navigate through such difficult times and decide what is best for their customer internally and externally, and what will help them drive profits, remain relevant and stay sustainable,” Walsh explained.

“So, over the next three years, we’ll continue to focus on what our customer wants, drive efficiencies in that space, and get more and more specialised at our competitive advantage,” she said.
