KQ Consulting: KQBizDev.com 201-704-0577I help people grow their businesses by working smarter.I spent the first ten years of my career in financial services and investor relations. After taking time to nurture my family, I decided to change tack. In today's economy, small and mid-sized businesses need to function in as sophisticated and professional a manner as big corporations do every day. But many do not and are afraid that they cannot. I've taken my finance and corporate experience and applied it to small and mid-sized businesses to teach business owners how to become big business smart.Over the past ten years, I've had the pleasure of working with hundreds of businesses across many industries.• I've coached business owners to turn their attention from their day-to-day business operations to develop achievable strategies for growth.• I've helped business owners regain control of their businesses by implementing smart business practices and processes.• I've worked with several businesses to analyze their portfolio of products and services to decide what they should offer next (or whether any should be eliminated).• I've taught math-phobic business owners how to read and understand their financial statements and how to use that information to make smart decisions and develop financial projections and goals.Some specific examples: • I advised a private school owner on how to use her limited resources. With a new strategy, her revenue doubled year over year, for two consecutive years, while paying down significant debt.• I taught an architect and a salon owner each how to put in place simple cash flow management processes tailored to their businesses that allow them to make smarter decisions. • I worked with a hair care and skin care business to ensure they understood the competitive landscape as they launched their retail operations.If you want to work smarter to grow your business, let's connect.
