Our wealth of knowledge is
Our most valuable asset
To many of our clients, we are seen as their Chief Marketing Officer or Director of Business Development and Partner Relations. Like any executive officer, we do not focus purely on marketing, sales, or social media. We look at the entire business with our over 20 years of experience working with professionals and organizations within the construction industry. Because we are not your employee, we are able to bring an outside perspective and are paid in a manner that reinforces this. In addition, we have worked with a diversity of organizations and owners across all industries, started countless businesses (including several of our own), and dramatically grown, saved, closed, and correctly sold businesses. This wealth of knowledge is invaluable, and clients are paying for an expert with the skills and experience to teach them best practices for their business and what business to avoid. Therefore, we are very selective in choosing the clients we work with, and we spend enough time during our intake process asking the hard questions to best understand your goals and commitment. We typically work with clients for over a year.
