The annual spend on consulting services by companies in the United States exceeds $300 billion per year.  Given this figure, it goes without saying that there are a lot of consultants out there.  The question is how you find the right one for your business needs.  A key starting point for you in this process is to start simple.  You not only need someone that can understand your business, but you also need someone you are compatible with from a personality standpoint. 

For the small and mid-size businesses...change your mindset.  Every business starts as a small business.  Maybe you want to be the next Wal-Mart or Amazon or maybe you want to create a legacy business that stays focused within a specific niche.  Business strategies are not universal and should be developed based on an in-depth understanding of how you operate, your goals and objectives.  You need a consultant that is open to the specialized insight you hold and has the experience to help you achieve success.

​

"I am not sure we can afford a consultant."  Again, if this is your mindset, change it.  You should be asking yourself if you can you afford not to have a consultant?  If you are reading this, you have probably identified areas of concern that your business needs help tackling.

​

 Would you turn down an investment of $10,000 that would return $50,000?  Of course you wouldn't.  

​

Our preferred approach is a value-added one.  Our clients view our services not as an expense, but rather as an investment.  We look to create long-term relationships to help foster the growth of our clients.  It doesn't matter how small you are, we are here to help you.  After all, if we are not willing to help you when you are small, why would you want our help when you become big?  We are not a stuffy and stiff big box consulting group.  Rather, VBS is a boutique consulting firm focused on the success of our clients instead of providing canned business success strategies that are only theoretical in nature.

​

We have worked with business across numerous industries and of a wide range of sizes...everything from non-profit organizations to publicly traded companies. We have intimate knowledge of small to mid-size family-owned businesses and understand most of the unique obstacles owners and operators face in these environments.

​

Winning is fun, success if fun, and your business should be fun.  If you aren't having fun running your business, then you may not be winning enough and enjoying your success. Let's connect and see if we can identify what is preventing your business from getting to the next level and have some fun in the process.
