I am a western North Carolina-based management consultancy specializing in helping small and medium-sized companies develop and execute innovative, low-cost business strategies and tactics to increase sales and profits. Whether your need is for a single project design or ongoing hands-on work for a few hours a week, you can take immediate advantage of my expertise in: - planning and executing sales campaigns All of these are designed to give you the maximum return on a limited budget. Over the past ten years, I have worked with over five dozen companies to launch new products, divisions, or ventures with both online and offline endeavors. While my primary training is marketing (on the surface), my positioning is that I am one of the few small business consultants who take a view of the entire entity when approaching a project. This is a reflection of the fact that any action taken in a given department inherently affects most other departments. Ignoring this, and approaching a situation as merely an IT, marketing, or HR scenario, is perilous for the company. Some solid measures of the breadth of my abilities are reflected in: 1. Having successfully taught over 50 college courses since 1999, including finance, ecommerce, project management, marketing, and managerial accounting. 2. My review and commentary on several hundred individual and group business plans from those courses over the eight years. There are no restrictions placed upon industry for these plans. Evaluating and critiquing these requires a global perspective and understanding of encompassing issues. 3. Successful consulting projects over the past six years with banks
