Training and Education
Since 2022, we’ve helped our small business clients acquire $1.1M in capital, increase their revenue by $1.5M and add 20 new jobs. In addition, we’ve helped dozens of tech startups acquire $millions in investment capital.
Training is important because it represents a good opportunity for stakeholders to grow their knowledge base, improve their skills, and become more effective in the workplace. We can help ensure that your return on your investment is immense and consistent.
We offer following services:
Culture
Vision, mission, and values statements are not enough. A company must define the culture it wants and then integrate it into every aspect of the operation. In our experience, most of the issues for which companies seek solutions are actually symptoms of a core problem involving culture, communication, or leadership.
Leadership
Our holistic approach involves evaluation, goal setting, and skill development for the CEO, executive team, or emerging leaders — with an emphasis on servant leadership and leading by example.
Communication
Along with culture and leadership, communication is where many companies fall short. Our holistic approach touches executive communication styles, meeting execution, marketing messaging, and external relations.
Technology Consulting
Risk Management
We don’t sell insurance! We believe we provide an even more valuable service by being your independent risk manager. Most companies have some level of financial or operational risk. We help you identify and assess that risk, develop processes and strategies for mitigating risk, and negotiate with insurance providers on your behalf.
COO Services
We focus on finance, sales, marketing, and strategy, with an emphasis on measurement, tracking, and forecasting. If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it.
Buying Or Selling A Business
Selling your business, or acquiring one, are two of the most critical transactions in which a business owner can be involved. We help get your business in a position to sell for top dollar, guide the transition to the next generation in the family, assist in the purchase process and also help integrate the merging organizations.
Special Projects
We plan and execute important Special Projects that the company lacks the time or resources to perform, or that require a certain level of discretion.
Sales & Marketing
Nothing happens without sales. We get in the trenches with our clients to guide, plan, execute and track sales and marketing processes and performance. From sales scripts, to web and mobile apps, to video and social media, our goal is to deliver significant sales and a great ROI.
