A WAY FORWARD:
"I was ready to write
them off before they even arrived."
But we had invited ProfitLink in already, and I
took the meeting. Good thing. Their low-key,
no-nonsense approach was refreshing. And they
brought in their most senior people, who were
also the owners, and who were the ones committed
to doing the work directly.
What surprised me most was how much they just
listened. In a few short minutes they had a good
understanding of what we faced. They got my team to
open up quickly and to think
differently right in that first meeting.
Their approach focused on implementation, short
term results, and making a long term difference
that we would own - not tie us to endless
contracts to keep the results coming. And they
made a financial guarantee. A guarantee from a
consulting firm!
The
results from our pilot projects?
-
$439,000 in < 6 months (savings from day one!)
-
$2,000,000 from first round pilot projects
-
21 of 23 projects done in < 4 months
Our people were amazing. They took
ownership and worked in teams because they could
see their efforts making a difference every
week.
I never would have believed they were capable of
it.
