IMPROVING BUSINESS PROCESSES

We’ve had consultants before but nothing like this. Jim (with Texas Consilium) and his team brought us an extremely pragmatic, logical and organized approach to running a business. Once these guys came in and shared their experience and their knowledge, they helped us visualize what it would be like and let us run our paces. They did the benchmarking and showed us what we could have been. That was the day in my business career that I’ll look back on and say that was the thing that changed a lot about our professional lives. Clearly it is one of the more valuable propositions we’ve ever engaged in.

IMPROVING FINANCIAL RESULTS

In the end we wanted to improve the teamwork not just because it made the working environment more fun but because we wanted results, so I would say that the biggest thing we got from the program was results. After beginning work with Donna (with Texas Consilium), there was not one single financial parameter that did not improve. Every indicator that we used to measure our business and financial impact improved in both absolute and relative terms. Every single one……. That is not a coincidence. Donna (and her team) exceeded our expectations. The results were trust, respect, knowledge, improved communications, togetherness and goal congruence. Her flexibility to adapt and personalize the service to our specific needs, her teams’ ability to very quickly build the trust and respect needed, the facilitation of communications, the keen eye to understand specific and detailed issues to address all combine to make a powerful force for change.

IMPROVING THE BOTTOM LINE

People don’t like change. Becky (with Texas Consilium) just has this way about her that really puts people at ease. They talk to her. We implemented the stuff that she found and we gained a couple of percent. I’ve known those guys for years and I learned some stuff that I didn’t know. Knowing what I know today, I would absolutely use Texas Consilium again, throw them in the pot and say, Look this thing over. Where can we make this better?

IMPROVING PROFITABILITY

One of the things we like about Beth (with Texas Consilium) is that she has a large toolkit. She came in and immediately we were comfortable with her. Her work approach was to understand our organization, and then come up with a course of action that was based on that. She came in and listened and then tailored what she did to what we needed. Results have steadily gotten better, we got our costs and our marketing back under control, and the business is growing again. We won some big competitions, our brand is stronger, and we returned to profitability!

IMPROVING BUSINESS TRANSITIONS

Robert (with Texas Consilium) guided us through our process to transfer ownership to the primary shareholders in the event of an unforeseen circumstance. With professionalism and expertise, Robert took a complex situation and provided a simple way for us to achieve our goals. Any business owner that has not addressed his plan to transition or sell the company; or wants to have his plan reviewed, should start by having a conversation with Robert.

IMPROVING FINANCIAL STRATEGY

The transition Ritchie (with Texas Consilium) helped navigate was difficult and required a keen eye on details inside and outside the business. His ability to work well with financial institutions, insurance companies, accounting firms and government agencies was invaluable. He possesses excellent skills and experience in ERP implementation strategy, especially the process of mapping an existing financial system to its next generation. A true professional with an unflappable demeanor, Ritchie has demonstrated the ability to reach deep into strategic and tactical issues of running the financial and administrative segments of a business.

IMPROVING THE SALES PROCESS

Working with Judy (with Texas Consilium) has given me a much clearer vision on how to identify additional income opportunities, and how to implement the sales process and close prospects. She’s helped me change the way I think about and approach my audience. Without hesitation, I would recommend Judy to anyone who wants to improve their sales techniques and results, and discover unique ways to grow their business.
