Who We Work Well With (and Who We Don't)

As you look over the list below, the first thing you'll notice is that there are many different kinds and sizes of companies.  You may think, "What's the link or what do they have in common?"  Even more to the point, "Why did they go to Small Business Management Consulting for help?"

1.  They are all run by people who have passion for their business and yet have not been able to solve their challenges on their own.

2.  They want support and guidance to get the next level and they're ready to listen.

3.  They know it will take some time to make meaningful change and they're committed to the process.

4.  In solving their problems, they focused on what they got back (their Return on Investment) NOT the initial cost of retaining SBMC.

If these ideas describe you and your business, 
  you're ready to work with Alan Siege and SBMC

Another way to think about this are the Challenges Our Clients Face; they come to us saying:


·        Our marketing is ineffective – we have trouble (or, no longer seem to) reaching the right people

·         Sales are way down and we struggle with how to get back on track – we don’t know how to market or sell our offering

·         We have lost our primary customers or our primary customers have significantly cut back on their use of our services

·         We have a challenge managing key people in our organization (seconds in command, key managers, business development types, et al)

·         We struggle with the message we use to attract clients; we need to clarify it and make it more appealing to folks so that they will want to engage with us
