My years as an independent Business consultant were an accidental result to my networking activities. As I discussed my successes helping Mr. Evens start up Rapid Response Credit Repair {a spin off from The Mortgage Zone} with an associate, they referred me to another business owner who engaged with me to solve other business challenges, and one engagement led to another. The two most detailed engagements were with a Technology Firm in Atlanta, Cynergy Telecom, and an Employment Consulting start-up in Princeton, EPM.Cynergy Telecom: At Cynergy Working under the CEO I implemented Both MS Dynamics and Salesforce.com so that the sales teams and account management teams could seamlessly share data and automate many processes including digital marketing. Later in the engagement, I worked with the owners to define and formalize the referral network that drove much of their lead generation. This position was similar to a channel manager role.................. EPM: The Owner of EPM had sold his first company in search strategies and professional marketing in 2004 and wanted to re-enter the space. He engaged with me for two primary initiatives. 1st I was asked to "stand-up" the company which included everything from legal formation, space leasing, corporate SOP's and technology, as well as the recruiting and hiring of all back-office personnel. We implemented a customized database using Zoho and Google tools along with accounting integration with QuickBooks. I oversaw the website build and SEO efforts. The 2nd challenge was to design and author a sales playbook for job search networking, essentially customize a B2B networking sales strategy to fit the needs of a senior-level executive in transition.
