Consulting and Special Project Services
A majority of businesses operate on the assumption that they know what is important to their clients or customers. In fascinating ways, our program uncovers the reality (which is often quite surprising) by working directly with your clients as if they were on the board of your company. Use this program to create new partnerships with your key customers and then build on their feedback to create a stronger, much more centered business that generates greater loyalty and, of course greater profitability.
A Client Advisory Board will help your business:
- Become more customer focused
- Take the guess work out of determining your customer’s needs
- Identify problem areas and service opportunities
- Re-evaluate your customer service strategy
- Re-visit your company’s vision, mission, goals, and objectives
- Define future opportunities
- And much more
Client Advisory Boards are a great way to improve the way your business deals with its customers.
The purpose of a Client Advisory Board is to listen to your customers’ opinions. You want them to be as candid as possible. The only way you can make changes and improve is by hearing the good along with the bad.
The Client Advisory Board Session:
- Reviewing the Past – “Prior to using this company, who did you do business with?” and, “Why did you leave that company?”
- Services – “What image do you think we have?”
- Competition – “What other ‘like’ businesses do you use?”
- Customer Service – “How are we doing compared to other companies you do business with?”
- Overall – “What do you like about us? Dislike?”
A Client Advisory Board, facilitated by the experienced members of our Special Projects Department, is a perfect way to get to the heart of what your customers think about your business and what they want from it.
In short, the benefits of having a Client Advisory Board are:
- Adding value to your clients by listening and responding to their needs
- Clients often cross sell each other on services
- Gaining insights as to what motivates people to buy from you
- Solidify client relationships
Our Special Projects Team will analyze the results of the session with you and also help you implement changes suggested by your board to ensure your company is meeting their needs and expectations.

Our firm has developed a unique business meeting we call the Client Situation Review or CSR. In the course of three to four hours we will facilitate a meeting involving members of your team plus our team including a full complement of HR, strategy, and financial experts. The purpose of the meeting is to identify those issues that are most important to your company. You will receive a complete report from us, and learn what others within and outside your industry are doing.
Benefits of a Client Situation Review:
- To provide an opportunity for the company to go off line and address important issues
- To receive a viable work product with ideas and recommendations that will benefit the company
- For the client to learn what’s been used by others in their industry, or best practices from other industries’ technology
- In this exercise, you will have an opportunity to see how your business stacks up in comparison to other successful middle market companies
- You will receive a detailed report summarizing all the issues, ideas and recommendations resulting from the meeting
Who participates?
It has been the Firm’s experience that a CSR is most effective when the client team is composed of knowledgeable participants representing the key disciplines of the client’s company. Ideally the following participants would attend:
- Executive Management – Owner, General Manager, CEO and/or President, COO
- Financial Management – VP Finance, CFO, or Controller
- Production Management – COO, VP Production, General Manager, or Plant Manager
- Information Technology – CIO, VP-MIS, MIS Manager
- Marketing/Sales – VP Sales/Marketing, Sales Manager
