01Mastermind Circle

Think it through

6 to 10 peers who have been where you are, helping you see what you can't see alone. Your Dream. Plan. Do. Roadmap and quarterly targets keep you moving between sessions.

02Study Action Circles

Learn it

The topic you need this quarter, turned into action before the quarter is over. One included every quarter.

03Advancement Circles

Get it done

Purpose-built 90-day groups. You choose the goal, who joins and how often you meet. Accountability, fitness, a project, a launch: a small group gets it done together. Run by members, renewable, included.

04The SUN Toolkit

Build it right

Every system you need, already built: templates, SOPs, scripts and AI prompts. Never start from scratch again.

The SUN Accelerators

Build the engine behind your circle.

The SUN Accelerators put a proven operating system behind your Mastermind seat, so your sales, and your whole company, run on a plan instead of on you. Investment based on your team.

About the Accelerators
Peers first, then your people

Rehearse it with peers. Run it with your team.

Every big moment of the year, you rehearse it with other leaders first, then run it back home with your team.

A year in SUN Circles. Three pushes, two real breaks.

In their words

Testimonials

At 7am I thought my day...the mountain ahead of me...was unachievable. At 7:15am, 15 minutes into my mastermind call, I thought I could climb Everest. That's what this process does.

Brita Lind, CEO, Adeptus Marketing

When I first joined, I wasn't surprised my business moved forward. What was a surprise was how it changed my life.

John Leishman, CEO, Tursa Group

One company, since 1999.

Factor X Solutions has worked with owners since 1999. SUN Circles is its community, and it has always been Kim Hoyer. Here is what some of Factor X's clients said.

  • “Factor X was instrumental in the success and ability for Rogers CAPS to scale our services. We have increased revenue from 3M to 10M in less than 12 months and have been able to monitor our processes to identify gaps and work quickly to adapt to changing company and client requirements.”

    Donna WhitneyRogers Communications, Inc.
  • “Factor X has helped me get organized and develop a clear plan to get the dream out of my head and into action. The value far surpasses the investment.”

    Jeff SotropaFounder & CEO, Sotropa Communications
  • “What I received from Factor X: exceptional business and marketing knowledge and experience, understanding and accountability, professionalism, promptness and community, and support and encouragement to Stand Up Now (not someday). Thank you, Kim!”

    Sherry LukeyBusiness and Personal Coach, SherryLukey.com
  • “We exceeded our goals for corporate sales, and did so more quickly than we had ever done before, in any of our markets.”

    Gilbert CadieuxCorporate & Group Sales Manager, Cirque du Soleil
  • “As a hypergrowth company, we put a high premium on our human capital. Factor X played a big role in helping us articulate the kind of culture we wanted and then helped us create an environment where the right people were in the right seats, doing what they do best.”

    Steve ZilinekFounder, AI On Main Street
  • “Their approach wasn't at all what we expected. They rolled up their sleeves, got involved with our people, and made a tremendous difference in our Stampede time selling processes.”

    Paul RosenbergAssociate Vice President, Calgary Stampede
  • “All their communications work had a strong impact and was well placed. What gave it that extra edge was the tracking they helped us put in place which showed us our return on investment.”

    Wes ReinhellerPresident, Reinheller Builders
  • “Factor X was a valuable resource for the Calgary Flames' sales and ticketing management. They added a high energy, high technology build to our sales efforts.”

    Ken KingPresident & CEO (fmr), Calgary Flames
  • “The impact of the financial services project was impressive. While the sales targets that were met and exceeded certainly justified the investment, it was the foundational knowledge transferred to the team that was really the true ROI from this experience.”
