In fact, during the year Harry worked with us and the following year in which we have furthered implemented your suggestions, our business has grown by 10% per year." - Wayne Perry, President, United Industrial Textile Products |
Who We Work With
Breakthrough Business Advisors works with small and medium enterprises. Most Breakthrough clients are small and medium enterprises (SME) that range in size from $1 - 50 million in sales volume. Generally, these are B2B companies that are owner-managed in these sectors:
- Manufacturing
- Distribution
- Software & technology
- Construction
- Service
They may be concerned that their business is under-performing on the bottom line, or they may feel they are unable to capitalize on growth opportunities effectively. They may have problems with personnel or conflicts between managers.
Do any of the following scenarios sound familiar to you?
People do not work as a team
- Do you find that many of your people are not working together effectively? There may be lots of finger pointing or blame to go around. Do you get the sense that you are not getting to the core issue?
The old systems aren't working anymore
- Things used to work, but does it seem that nothing works properly anymore?
Partner/Owner issues
- Are you having trouble communicating with other owners? Does everyone seem to be going his own direction?
No sounding board
- Do you feel that you need to talk to someone who can understand your business issues and opportunities, and provide constructive, critical feedback?
Cash flow problems
- Is there constant pressure on cash? Do you seem to be treading water every week from collections to payroll? Would you add that piece of equipment if you only had the money? Are vendors hounding you?
Business is under-performing
- Are you unhappy with the performance of the business? Are you growing, but the bottom line is not? Do you get the feeling that your costs are too high, but you are not sure exactly where or why?
Growth has stalled
- Has your growth flattened? Are you unable to get back on the growth curve?
Job costs are a problem
- Do you have problems controlling job costs? Does sales blame estimating, and estimating blames operations?
Too much (or too little) inventory
- Do you always seem to have too much of the wrong things in inventory? Are you running out of other things? Are $5 items holding up $50,000 projects?
Lost growth opportunities
- Does your organization have trouble taking advantage of market opportunities? Are excellent opportunities squandered?
Quality is a problem
- Maybe you have even installed a quality system, however all you seem to be doing is documenting the problems.
Product/Service deliveries are late
- Are customers complaining that you always seem to be late?
