Unlock the Power of Third-Party Team Assessments with Jason Cutter
Welcome to another episode of the $4M Strategies™ podcast, Carl J. Cox, CEO of 40 Strategy and 40 Accounting, speaks with industry leaders to uncover the strategies that drive real business growth. In this episode, Carl interviews Jason Cutter, Chief Transformation Officer at Cutter Consulting Group, to explore how third-party team assessments can transform your organization.
Jason shares his expertise on why external evaluations are vital for uncovering blind spots, improving processes, and adopting strategies from beyond your industry. If you’re ready to move the needle on your team’s performance, this episode offers actionable insights you don’t want to miss.
Why Third-Party Assessments Matter
Jason begins by explaining the challenge many teams face: it’s hard to see the label from inside the jar. Teams often focus on immediate tasks—closing deals, managing transactions, and striving to succeed in the sales battlefield. However, this intense focus can create blind spots that prevent growth.
Third-party assessments bring fresh eyes to your organization, helping you identify gaps in your strategy and processes. By evaluating what your team says and does (or doesn’t do), these assessments offer a roadmap to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
Cross-Industry Insights
One of the standout benefits of third-party assessments is their ability to bring cross-industry best practices to your business. Jason shares an example of a company stuck in traditional B2B outreach strategies, relying heavily on emails and outdated approaches. By introducing ideas from another industry—like using eBooks, podcasts, and non-standard channels—the company unlocked new opportunities and saw remarkable results.
This is where the magic happens: what works in one industry might revolutionize another. A skilled assessor with experience across multiple fields can help your team adopt innovative practices that haven’t yet reached your industry.
The Human Factor
Jason emphasizes a crucial point: while companies often excel at understanding their products, they struggle to understand the humans behind the processes. Whether you’re selling software, insurance, or other services, the key to success lies in understanding people—not just products.
An external evaluator focuses on the human dynamics within your team, identifying what motivates and challenges them. This perspective can be more valuable than industry-specific knowledge, offering a universal approach to improving communication, collaboration, and outcomes.

- Fresh Eyes, Big Wins: External assessments uncover blind spots you may not even realize exist.

Real-World Examples

These stories demonstrate how thinking outside the box—and outside your industry—can lead to breakthroughs.
