A Dream Fulfilled.While heading the sales & marketing function for a previous employer, I used to daydream about calling in a skilled task force to help me achieve my goals... especially when time and quota were pressing. But, there was no professional ready-reserve. I fulfilled this dream in 1983 with S*W*A*T(sm), a sales and marketing task force whose mission was to supercharge the effort of companies, organization and individuals. From roots in high technology, S*W*A*T broadened its services in '86 to meet the business development needs of various clientele. Since then, we've stood in the trenches with high-tech, low-tech, no-tech companies in both "business-to-business," and "business-to-consumer" industries. Long before the current emphasis on "special forces," we called ourselves a strike force to reflect the disciplined approaches, talents, and services which S*W*A*T brings to the process of obtaining new, or expanding present business. S*W*A*T HAS ALWAYS BEEN A TEAM OF HANDS-ON DOERS. Unlike other consultants that merely develop plans or campaigns and then leave, S*W*A*T "digs in" by applying external resources to boost your internal ones. S*W*A*T is tactical. It toils in the present knowing that only a good today makes for a better tomorrow -- 5-year, 1-year and even 6-month plans have time horizons too distant for S*W*A*T's "Can Do" & "Let's Do" attitude. In today's business climate of collapsed launch times, getting-to-and-off-the-starting-line first is often the entire race! S*W*A*T relishes the tough part... making things happen, not waiting for them to happen. Often, the greatest obstacles are internal to our clients. Where once "The Team" was internal to S*W*A*T, today it is a cadre of trusted professionals all of whom share the same original spirit and bring an even higher skill level. Getting to market is not a mystery... nor is it magic. It is a precision march of coordinated and focused steps. Join our parade.

I started breeding & leasing registered Thoroughbred horses in 1971 under the name Equine Equity Co. For sure, they were not Secretariat quality; however, in 1973, I produced and marketed the Secretariat T-shirt which was sold via The Racing Form & NYRA tracks. I had been screening garments since jr. high school. This effort led to custom branding for other stables. I discontinued the imprinting line based on a 1973 Wall Street Journal article predicting the demise of imprinted t-shirt bubble. (Wrong advice, WSJ!) But, I kept-on with horses. In 1977, I formed Newport (RI) Coach & Carriage, Ltd by expanding from Registered Thoroughbreds -- the sole breed for flat circular track racing via The Jockey Club Registry -- to Standardbreds -- used for trotter/pacer racing.NC&C Ltd operated out of Hammersmith Farm, the former Summer White House of President Jack Kennedy and First Lady Jackie whose home it had been in her youth. Mrs. Auchincloss (Bouvier by1st marriage, ne Lee) the First Lady's mother was still living on the farm and had sold the main house to a group which made it a museum and tourist attraction. I closed the livery after three summer seasons due to the increasing street dangers caused by RI's 18 y.o. drinking age. My last NC&C horse lived as a pensioner until 1995. From 1995 to 2014, I followed horses though considered that my physical horse days were behind me. But! Through a series of parallel fates, I am the consulting Independent Operator / General Manager of Berkshire Meadow View LLC dba The Inn at Richmond & The Berkshire Equestrian Center, LLC which is being re-created to be TIARA EQUEST - The unique Colonial Equestrian Resort (tm) for humans and horses In this endeavor, all my knowledge of and experiences with horses and hands-on bootstrapping of businesses for clients and self is in play. In short, my multi-faceted career has come full-circle. It would be cool to say that I planned it this way, but I did not. Life is exciting!

High Level Sales & Sales Training | Traditional 4Ps Marketing & Brand Strategies Consulting | Online Presence & Integration | Advocacy & Negotiating | Business & Practice Development for Individuals | Businesses | Professions | Trades | Artists | Non-Profits.Our consulting is focused on business development. However, the range of industries served varies from tech tech down to local farming. Our expertise comes from hands-on knowledge which may be augmented by research and the knowledge of other subject matter experts, if needed. Our delivered advice is always immediately actionable without need for loans and funding. We relish the challenge of bootstrapping start-ups and revitalizing underfunded turnarounds which need to be groomed for loans, equity investment, or just becoming attractive to the marketplace in order to expand business and cash flow. To accomplish any of the above tasks, our consulting is based on the concept of "doing what you can with what you got!" As a result, our first step IS NOT a "needs analysis;" rather, an "assets analysis." Our experience is that it is far more productive to discover latent assets within a company and/or talents in an individual than it is to worry about needs, which usually are the along the lines of obtaining MORE (cash, competitiveness, intelligence, market-share, awareness). This is as to be expected, for as consultants we are continually focused on only one question: "Why should someone do business with our client as opposed any of its competitors?" By our matching assets -- especially latent -- against needs, our clients are "forced" to look inward to determine the degree to which they are willing to change/self-invest in order to address the desired outcome.Specialties: Bootstrapping, Business Development, Turn-around, Self-fundingFor more info and links, please visit my portal: http://www.johndavidsottile.com

200 North Street At The Corner Of Eagle Street In Pittsfield, Ma 01201

Sottile Park is located at 200 North Street in Pittsfield, MA. It is in the The Heart of "Upstreet"... In The True Heart of the Berkshires -- diagonally across from the Intermodal Transportation Center, the Berkshire's only depot for Amtrak passenger rail service.The Park is named after Anthony W. Sottile Sr., respected family-man, prominent citizen, and City Auditor under four different mayors.PHYSICALLY, Sottile Park is a main street, public pedestrian park for all to enjoy if abiding by City ordinances.Being built atop a bridge over CSX rail lines, it is dominated by brick decking, trellises, and of course, rail tracks below. HISTORICALLY, our goal is to relate the history of the Park's location, chronicle its creation by the City and through the efforts of private parties. Moreover, since the bridge upon which the Park is built once held historic newspaper bulletin boards maintained by the Miller Families, past owners of The Berkshire Eagle, the DAILY ONLINE emphasis of SottilePark.com is to REVIVE HISTORY by providing(a) links to 1000s of news sources & resources;(b) a unified online address for local * conforming press releases * proper social announcements, * heartfelt remembrances (not obituaries) * links to other Pittsfield websites, and * future developments fitting our guidelines So... VIRTUALLY, SottilePark.com is "Your Portable Portal For News / Views / Info & Other Stuff" (tm) However, unlike the physical Sottile Park which is maintained by the City, with added volunteer support, SottilePark.com is privately maintained providing for one a most interesting "go-to" websites, free. MOST IMPORTANT, SOTTILEPARK.COM IS A REPOSITORY FOR LINKS TO FREE EDUCATION as well as FREE INFORMATIVE LIFE KNOWLEDGE PROVIDED BY US AND OTHER AUTHORS, thus perpetuating a pay-forward philosophy embraced by the Park's namesake, and his wife Mary Sonsini Sottile.We are certain that visitors will return often.
