How We Help
Our small business consultants develop smart, lasting solutions by challenging the status quo, asking tough questions, testing assumptions, and thinking outside the box.
Understanding your specific situation, goals, and objectives is at the heart of everything we do.
Practical Business Advice for B2B Firms
Our goal is to help smaller B2B firms survive and thrive by providing MBA-level consulting. We guide and advise business owners and management teams in making bold, smart decisions about moving their firms to the next level.
We take what we do very seriously. Our approach is demanding and challenging. If you’re expecting instantaneous results, we’re not for you. But, if you’re willing to get to work on the future of your business, let’s talk.
Small firms don’t need to take a back seat to larger firms when it comes to getting sound business advice.
It may be time for fresh ideas and a new approach.
Fresh Ideas, Real Solutions
You may have tried a lot of different things to grow the business. Yet, success always seemed to be around the next corner.
We start each engagement by determining what’s working and what’s not. Using a proven process that involves gathering information, analyzing new markets, exploring options, and studying the competition, we identify new opportunities for growth.
Each business is unique in its own way. Our small business consulting services are always tailored to the client’s particular situation, goals, and objectives.
But, we don’t stop there. We work with you on creating a detailed action plan. And, if needed, we can support you with the implementation as well.
Our Approach
Our small business consulting uses a data-driven, fact-based process for analyzing and solving business problems. There is no such thing as an off-the-shelf, one-size-fits-all solution that works. Your company is unique, requiring a tailored approach to solving your business challenges.
In close collaboration with you, we move through these four stages:
Assessment
A comprehensive assessment is very important to develop a sound understanding of the current situation before we can start developing solutions.
Solution
Using a strategic approach, we develop an effective solution to address your challenges. No wishful thinking or guesswork. Just smart decision-making based on real insight.
Action Plan
The action plan is the step-by-step playbook for implementing the solution. Without a written action plan implementation can go off the rails very quickly. Or, it may never happen at all.
Implementation
Skillful implementation is the key to success. This is where the rubber hits the road. If needed, we’ll support you throughout the implementation phase.
No endless discussions or paralysis by analysis, but effective, affordable solutions that move the needle.
Practical Solutions
We provide independent, “fresh eyes” business advice. Real-world solutions that change the trajectory of your firm.
Just careful analysis, smart thinking, bold decision-making, and committed implementation.
