“Kay
captured the essence of our business in a concise Unique Selling
Proposition.
It set the foundation for our entire value positioning.”
-Vice President of Marketing, Regional Telephone
Company
“We
were referred to Kay by a former colleague of ours from Mercer
HR consulting. Our consulting business was about six months old at
that point and although my partners and I have worked for many years
in corporations and for consulting firms, we didn't know what we didn't
know about a truly successful small business launch and we were impressed
with Kay's obvious expertise and her no-nonsense approach.
One
of the most insightful things she made us realize is that, while
we three founders had a great relationship and we talked about
the business all the time, we had not defined what each of us
meant by "success" and "profitability" and
all of the other terms we routinely discussed. We did not know
that we did not agree on many aspects of our business strategy
and plan.
Kay brought real rigor to our thinking and forced us to define
our terms. This sounds awfully simple, but it was a real eye-opener.
As
a result of Kay's efforts, we three founders have reached a true
consensus around what our goals are and how we intend to reach
them. It's a very
big deal!” -Kate Nelson, Ethics Author and Consultant
Monday
evening, Del DOT had a transportation workshop for Centreville.
They were very complimentary of the KPA meeting and the way you
conducted the meeting with a very difficult group. I have scanned
the power point presentation hand-out which has several slides
summarizing the KPA meeting findings. It is interesting that
we had over 100 attendees whereas their consultants had only
35 in eight sessions. -Morgan L. Hendry, President,
SSS Clutch Company, Inc. and the Kennett Pike Association (KPA)
Kay
led the integration of numerous companies into Conectiv Services.
One of the key issues was how we could retain the equity in the
older, established names while we built awareness and equity
in our new, combined company. She assessed the strengths of the
old names -- they varied greatly -- and
tailored an appropriate, and sometimes multi-year, plan for making
this transition successfully.
She
also organized and led market research, advertising Return on
Investment analysis and a variety of other marketing initiatives
for me. I always found that she listened well -- both to me and
to the target customer groups -- and developed practical, economic
solutions to the problems and opportunities that we were facing.
-Jim Parrish, Former President of Conectiv
Services
“I
thought I knew everything about networking...wow, I sure didn't
know much even after 10 years as a consultant. Thanks so much
for a great program.” -Howard
Weisz, HW Associates, Supply Chain Consulting.
“You
offer excellent advice and always have just the right ideas for
the situation. Your insights are truly of value to me.” -Client that is a CPA/PFS and CFP and director of a regional
Accounting firm
“Kay has really been a help. Her insights and suggestions I think will bear fruit
over time and she has certainly helped to reverse a grim depression that had
come over me about the business. We are actively implementing her suggestions
and though it will take some time to see results, the expectation keeps me in
the game.” -Owner of a Retail Store

• It was really a wonderful meeting. Kay gave us a lot of good
information
and I actually used one of her suggestions today
in a meeting. Before
I left for work this morning, I did what she said , and cut my business
card holder in half and put one in my purse and one in my jacket
pocket. At my meeting, the client asked me for my card before
he left, and
I reached in my pocket and had the cards right there! I smiled and
thought of Kay!
