I'm Managing Partner, Phil Porreca, and I can help you crack the code to growing a profitable business.
As a business consultant, with a career spanning 30+ years and having taken part in 8 different startups at various stages and levels of financing (read my story), I’ve learned a lot about what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to running a business.
The biggest lesson you learn starting a number of companies, successful or not, is that no matter how unique you are as a person, your business isn’t. For the most part all the same business rules (just like gravity) apply to everyone. This includes the need to have a handle on your numbers, to set realistic and useful goals, and to be revenue focused.
I don’t claim to be an expert in everything, like digital marketing or bookkeeping. However, over my 30 years, having worked in Fortune 500 companies in addition to small business consulting teams, I’ve built relationships with proven professionals in every business function from sales to operations. These resources can be called upon as needed to support your growth.
So, whether you’re a new entrepreneur looking for guidance, or you’ve been around a while and are looking to take things to the next level, let’s get started!
Our Service Areas
Strategy & Leadership
We work with you to understand and hone your strategy for the next year or more. Whether you’re a startup or have been in business for a while, keeping your big block goals in mind is key to ensuring you don’t get lost in the weeds and keep working on the things that are most important.
Sales & Marketing
A recent survey found that 70% of buyers made a purchasing decision before talking to a salesperson. These were B2B buyers, not B2C. The net has not only changed how we purchase for ourselves and for our businesses but flipped the sales and marketing relationship upside down. Are you aligned with this shift?
Operations & Processes
Workflow drives all businesses and all business functions. We help you to not only improve those processes but the touchpoints as they cross functional departments from Marketing to Finance. Are all your processes and people aligned with, and working towards, your strategic goals?
Information Technology
Technology is the key in enabling automation and providing you with the data to run your business. It can not only improve efficiency, but also be a strategic advantage, enabling you to outpace the competition by providing a better service or something completely new.
