"The best thing
that Resultants does is listen to our
concerns."
"Resultants,
themselves, have been involved in many other
businesses and have the experience. You
can't get this out of a book. You have to go
through these experiences and have lived it
to do what they do."
"Resultants was able to bring across to our
team things I couldn't myself. They have
been a go-between. Now we're pulling
together more."
Owners and
managers get so embroiled in their business
that they lose perspective.
"I'd have to say that Resultants has gotten
us to back up and look at how we've been
conducting business. We have been with RFB a
year now, and it has been a real eye opener.
We know how to build a house, but we needed
someone to look at the steps it takes to
build that house. Bringing these kinds of
challenges has helped a lot."
"Too much
information all at once isn't good because
we can't implement all of the ideas at once.
Resultants understands this and understands
our company. When things are moving too fast
RFB helps us slow down and re-focus. They
keep us focused on getting the right tasks
done in a logical sequence and in a timely
fashion. They help us get ready for the next
task. Resultants is very professional and
productive. At first I hesitated at spending
that kind of money, but honestly, I'm
pleasantly surprised at the results."
Businesses should exist to make the dreams
of the shareholders come true. When owners
and managers are so busy working IN the
business, they never get to work ON the
business so business development is stunted.
When a business is more fully developed,
owners and managers often feel like they've
gotten their life back.
"My goal has
been to start taking a little time off. It
used to be that it would take me three days
just to unwind. Well, now when I'm heading
out of town, I'm already feeling good,
because I know that things are being taken
care of and the business will keep going
without me there."
"Resultants is like someone looking over our
shoulders making sure we are moving along
with the things we need to be doing."
"Our team is seeing the bigger picture. I've
seen more team development."
"They've helped us become salesmen."
"This is still a seed that is sprouting...
a lot of planted seeds are growing..."
"It is very
helpful to have RFB prodding us along and
making suggestions as we go. We are more
aware of running the business rather than
letting the business run us."
"This is a
whole different approach - it's totally
different. You work more closely, you work
on a monthly basis, you make suggestions,
and you're in contact whenever you need to
be."
It's one thing to talk about empowering
your team, but it's quite another thing to
actually do it. RFB has proven techniques to
get everyone involved and on the same page.
Our team is
seeing the bigger picture. They are working
together and coming up with suggestions. It's helped them focus. They've taken
additional interest in what's going on. I've
seen team development rather than
individualistic development. People are
working together as a team."
"Obviously Resultant's previous experiences
is their biggest asset."
"With
Resultants being part of the program here,
we were able to make the changes because
they were behind us not nagging... but kind of
making us go in that direction, to get it
done and keep the focus."
"We have a lot of bottlenecks and we're
getting them opened up so that the business
flows better... there's just an endless number
of things that can improve."
"I like
where the company is going now and the rate
at which it's going, but I also like the
fact that it can be operated without me
being there. It sure is nice to see the
business going at the rate of speed it is
- and I don't have the pressure put on me
everyday like I used to."
"My first opinion was "No, we can't afford
it." Then I thought about it for about 2
minutes and said, "we can't afford not to do
it." That's the bottom line. Resultants
has done everything and more than what we
thought they would do. . .and in such a
short period of time."
"Yes. We
needed changes, but it has been difficult
for us to do them. With your help - and
staying after us - we got what we needed. It's
now working very, very well. We were dealing
with some of these issues before and we were
making some little changes, but the changes
have accelerated ten times over since RFB
has been onboard with us."
"We've had 2 other consulting firms come in.
Basically, all they did was talk for a
couple of sessions, mail a letter or bring
out a little booklet telling us what we're
doing wrong which we already knew. I didn't
need to pay someone to tell us what we're
doing wrong. We needed the tools to take
care of the weak spots. It didn't take Resultants but a few sessions to figure out those weak spots, and then they went right to the next step coaching us to solve those problems. That's the difference
- somebody to help us with the processes and systems." |
