Dauntless Solutions Enables Pursuit Athletic Performance
to Quadruple their Customer Base
BACKGROUND
Pursuit Athletic Performance (Pursuit)
is a holistic strength training facility.
They specialize in personal training
programs that help athletes overcome
injuries and perform at their optimal
level. Founded in 2011 by Coach Al Ly-
man and Dr. Kurt Strecker, the company
focuses on helping athletes stay injury
free. Both men bring years of experience
to the table enabling their work to reflect
cutting edge thinking from the physical
training, movement training, and hu-
man anatomy points of view.
CHALLENGE
“We had a new business,” said Kurt
Strecker, “So there were plenty of times
where we had to change and go in an-
other direction and say, ‘Hey, wait! That
doesn’t seem likes it’s going to work.’
Each time we shifted direction as a com-
pany we needed the website to follow.
The website is our sales platform. It’s our
store. It’s our communication platform.
It has so many jobs in our business that
everything has to work. It’s always fluid.
It’s always moving.”
Because of Pursuit’s specialization and
success helping individuals overcome
sports injuries, they serve athletes from
across the country and beyond. As
Coach Al Lyman puts it, “We needed an
online presence to not only represent
ourselves to the global marketplace, but
also to convey information. Our busi-
ness is unique in that we have a lot of
content that we are sharing with our
customers.”
Incompetent Provider
According to Coach Al, “Our first
technology provider was incompetent
and unable to make the integration and
functionality happen the way it was
supposed to. Because of their lack of
skill they were not able to provide us
with the correct information about what
path was best, or what technology solu-
tion we should use. Our website became
a mess in no time flat.”
Inability to Grow
“The impact this had on us was very
simple,” continued Coach Al. “First, it
prevented us from being able to grow
and growth is critical for our success.
Second, it resulted in a huge waste of
our resources and by that I mean our
time and our money. We were paying
someone to provide bad solutions or no
solutions and we were wasting a lot of
time trying to resolve issues on our end
because they were not getting resolved
on their end. Then there was the mental
and emotional anguish associated with
feeling like you’re throwing money
away and problems aren’t getting re-
solved.”

Dauntless.Solutions
According to Kurt each new feature or
necessary fix inevitably turned into
a huge project with Pursuit having to,
“chase our providers” to try to get results.
“Nothing was really working right.”
Instead of getting answers they got long
involved emails that confused everyone;
adding instead of fixing problems.
SOLUTION
Pursuit was just entering their second
year of business when Zechariah, one
of Dauntless Solutions’ programmers,
came to Pursuit for injury therapy. As
Coach Al said, “Without question our
initial reaction in the first communica-
tion that we had with Zechariah was
one of direct, honest, intelligent, and
competent communication and skill. I
think that was probably the most impor-
tant aspect that prompted us to move
forward at that time.”
“From our point of view,” said Coach Al,
“the variety of systems that we had in
place, whether it was PayPal, the mem-
bership-management elements, or the
social media aspects, were all very com-
plex. We had very little understanding
of how it all needed to work together.”
“At the outset the Dauntless team simply
started to look at the most basic and
fundamental elements to make sure that
there was integration where it needed
to be. There was a lot of problem solv-
ing for them, fixing things that were
not set up properly or working as they
should. The team worked to limit steps
to any processes that were unnecessary;
and even shifted a little bit in terms of
what products or systems we were using
to something which would ultimately
work better.”
“The website has so many jobs in our
business,” said Kurt, “everything has to
work. It’s very challenging to be able to
stay on top of all that and the Dauntless
team does a wonderful job of it.”
RESULTS
Competent Provider
The results of changing to Dauntless
Solutions materialized quickly. Accord-
ing to Kurt, “Now we’re not chasing.
With our other tech, it was always us
running around, saying, ‘When are you
going to get this done? When is this
going to be online?’ I can’t even express
how important that has been to us to
have this team finish things. We send
an email, and I get a one-word email
back from them, ‘Done’. Al and I have
no clue regarding the technical side, so
when we say, ‘We want to try to do this’
and they say, ‘Yes. All set. Done.’ Hands
down, there’s no better way to describe
what they’ve done for us.”
“The Dauntless team are very well
versed,” Kurt continued, “they under-
stand all of the pieces that have to fit
into the puzzle. That’s really the big deal
for us; being able to get things done in
a timely fashion, and for a fair price. I
mean, the Dauntless team might be the
only ones that we’ve ever dealt with in
the world of web who are so refreshing
in all of the areas.”
Greater Growth
“The work that the Dauntless team has
done for us has permitted us to stay
in business and grow,” said Coach Al.
“Without them we wouldn’t have the
growth and success that we’ve had at
this point in time.”
Looking at their growth over the past
two year things look bright for Pursuit.
Kurt tells us that, “From the time that
we brought the Dauntless team on board,
I think our membership has probably
quadrupled. That’s huge for us!”
All those new clients are using the web-
site to access their training materials.
With it working effectively Pursuit will
be able to continue to grow for a long
time to come.
Communication & Trust
“One of the most valuable aspects of
Zechariah and Jeremiah’s communica-
tion skills,” said Coach Al “Is the direct
way in which they communicate. That is
really helpful from our point of view.”
At Pursuit they were sick of having
every question they asked turn into a
mountain. “As an end user I’m looking
for solutions,” said Coach Al. “That’s
what the Dauntless team is good at
providing.”
“They really have been wonderful at
having yes as their answer all the time”
said Kurt. “They give us a list of choices.
They say, ‘Look, we can do this and this
is what it’s going to cost, or we can do
that and that’s what that’s going to cost.’
And you know, they’re always true to
their word. In my book, there’s no bigger
issue in business.”
Low Stress Work Relationship
According to Coach Al, “Working with
the Dauntless team has been easy. It’s
seamless, its low stress. Communication
is clear and timely and that’s essential
for us. When all of those aspects have
been counted they’ve positively impact-
ed us as a business.”
“There’s nothing else that my money and
business wants than to have somebody
who’s, hired to do a job, do the job faster
than we expect and better than we ex-
pect,” said Kurt. “Like I said, the Daunt-
less team make us smile every day. We
sleep better at night knowing they are
taking care of the technology side of our
business.”
If you are tired of throwing time and
money away chasing your technology
provider without getting the results you
need and are ready to let someone else
take care of the headache of your web
presence then check us out at

That is really helpful from our point of view.” At Pursuit they were sick of having every question they asked turn into a mountain. “As an end user I’m looking for solutions,” said Coach Al. “That’s what the Dauntless team is good at providing.” “They really have been wonderful at having yes as their answer all the time” said Kurt. “They give us a list of choices. They say, ‘Look, we can do this and this is what it’s going to cost, or we can do that and that’s what that’s going to cost.’ And you know, they’re always true to their word. In my book, there’s no bigger issue in business.” Low Stress Work Relationship According to Coach Al, “Working with the Dauntless team has been easy. It’s seamless, its low stress. Communication is clear and timely and that’s essential for us. When all of those aspects have been counted they’ve positively impact- ed us as a business.” “There’s nothing else that my money and business wants than to have somebody who’s, hired to do a job, do the job faster than we expect and better than we ex- pect,” said Kurt. “Like I said, the Daunt- less team make us smile every day. We sleep better at night knowing they are taking care of the technology side of our business.” If you are tired of throwing time and money away chasing your technology provider without getting the results you need and are ready to let someone else take care of the headache of your web presence then check us out at http://Dauntless.Solutions PursuitAthleticPerformance.com “The work that the Dauntless team has done for us has permitted us to stay in business and grow.
