“Hiring Bob as a Business Consultant might have been one of the best business decisions I have made in the last 35 years.

Bob's sales background has been especially beneficial by assisting me to implement procedures and policies that have increased the productivity of our sales team and reduced the need for regular my hands-on management. Bob has introduced me to people that I have enlisted to assist with other areas of my business from HR to Accounting from our Website developer to simply meeting other quality business people. I have attended many educational seminars that Bob has either facilitated himself or sponsored. The things I have learned from Bob and the many people he has introduced me to will always help me make the right decisions.”

“Bob is quite simply, The Best!

He is a sales, marketing and business process expert. He provides the candid and practical insight/feedback that every business owner needs in order to improve results. If you want someone to tell you how great you and your business are, Bob is not your guy. But, if you want someone to cut through the clutter, and identify your key challenges, opportunities and strategies, Bob is most definitely your guy. He has helped us immeasurably.”

“Working with Bob has provided me with the clarity and focus I needed to grow my business.

Thanks at least in part to his help we're seeing a 50% increase over last year's revenue. Bob is smart, experienced and extremely dedicated to the success of his clients. Best of all, he's got a sense of humor too!”

“Bob was the facilitator on a TAB board I participated on from 2003 to 2005.

He's a great guy - good listener, good experience and cares about working with small businesses to truly improve their performance. Good man!”

“Bob has continually provided an invaluable sounding board to the leadership of our company since 2003.

His intuitive, inquisitive, and sensitive nature provide the opportunity to reflect on the quality and effectiveness the leadership within our company. Often during our coaching sessions the reflection brings clarity and the opportunity to define refined directions for the company and action items within the bounds of our adjusted business plan. We get the chance to hear ourselves think. He helps us find the answers that are obvious, already there for the taking, but we just are too close to see them. The process of discovery makes the solutions more vested within our leadership. He has helped to guide our our path without ever leading. He cares about us beyond our business success. The longenvity of our association with Bob is testament to the continuing trust we have in him and the value he brings to our organization.”

“Bob and the Alternative Board has re-focused me to work ON my business instead of IN my business.

I recommend Bob to anyone who today wants to start growing their business instead of just maintaining it.”

“Bob's application of his rich marketing and sales experience to help both frame and solve business problems, combined with sound business judgment has been very valuable to my business.”

“Bob's excellent work with me as part of a TAB Board has helped my business tremendously.”

“I've known Bob for several years.

He is an insightful, experienced executive and business owner. He has helped me in the past when developing new markets and I strongly recommend that you consider him as a resource”
