“I strongly recommend your program to any business that feels the frustrations of lack of focus and dilution of effort. The changes you have helped us make have truly improved our approaches and our processes and improved our satisfaction with the success of our company. Our efficiency has easily increased by over 20% in the areas of product development and marketing efficiency. The sales systems alone have increased our client contact success ratio by over 30%. Our thanks to all of you for an exciting approach to the future.”

“This program has caused me to re-examine myself. It has pointed out to me that before my business can change, that I personally needed to change. My personal attitude has become more focused and I now have specific objectives I’m working toward. Our employees have also become more productive since they can see their potential future and have specific goals to work towards.”

“I have found that since starting the Systems for Success program I feel I am much more in control. I have also seen our store organization and image improve greatly, and now my employees are responsible for much of the quality control that I always weighed myself down with in the past. I feel this is an invaluable program to me and feel that now I will be able to develop my business into an extremely successful business to pass on to my sons. I would strongly recommend this program to other small business owners.”

“I now have an expanded sales system in place and it’s yielding three times the sales leads that I normally have at this time of year. I have learned to accomplish more in less time with better results. I’m in control of every aspect of my company’s business. The first few projects that we will be doing in the next year, we will be paid about 30% more for the work than we would have been last year. This will increase my profit margin as well as increase my total sales.”
Ronald E. Morgan, President & General Manager
WGBM Associates, Inc.
“During the free consultation we discovered a lot of things about our business, but a lot of things about ourselves, too. We were able to look at what was working and what wasn’t working, and the reasons why. We were given tools to make those things all work – a systematic approach that will help us reach our business and personal goals. Will and I have a new perspective on our business and our personal life. And we have new hope.”

“As a small business, we were under the impression that “big business” ideas did not apply to what we did, and yet after fourteen years of doing it our way, we were running out of gas. We were tired of winging it. Thank you for showing up at our door. Now we are working with principles that are tried and true. We spend less time at work and get out the same amount of product.”

“After implementing these systems we noticed a big change. Our accounts receivable dropped almost in half and, of course, our cash flow increased. And it has made doing dentistry a lot more fun when I can concentrate on doing the dentistry and not worrying about he financial end of it. It’s allowing me to run a business like a business, to have better profits, to work less and to focus on what my profession’s really all about – to do dentistry.”
Thomas Waggoner, DDS, Owner

“I was not failing in my businesses, I was doing well. I just learned how to do better. When I was in the thick of this, working 12 – 14 – 16 hours a day, if you would have come to me and told me I could implement a program that would give me my time back, I would have said you were crazy and kicked you out of the office. Now we’re open from 9:30 to 5:00 every day. I’m working less than 8 hours a day. I have my time back. We’re only open 5 days a week. Our production is up. Our costs are down. I think I grew faster under this method than I would have having had someone else come in and put it all in place and say work it like this. I learned how to make it work for my business. This has been a tool that has helped me work on my business that has been probably the most valuable thing I have ever done for my business. Also, because of the program, I’ve been able to duplicate my business in an entirely different industry and product over 2 million in business last year.”
Ken Koch, President

“My goal is to set up a business that will run itself whether I’m here or gone. Whether I’m on vacation or dead it doesn’t matter. The business will run itself. Now I have a clear idea of what I want and how I’m going to get there. I can see that it is actually going to happen.”

“The gain in my personal life has been enormous. I can’t put a price tag on it. To me, Systems for Success is a great deal. The workflow and organization systems have helped me become more organized. I know what I’m going to do before I show up each day, and because I know what I’m going to do, I’m more focused. I’m able to get two to three times more done each day, working fewer hours. Instead of spinning my wheels and falling all over myself I’m heading in a clear direction. I go home at night with a feeling of accomplishment. I’m making money now. Everything’s working. I’m happier when I go home. My personal life is a whole bunch better because of it. I can assure anybody that if I can change they certainly can.”

“Prior to our joining Business Advantage, we rarely took the time to discuss where we were going and how we were going to get there. We now look at Heaven Sent as a growing business rather than a ‘mom and pop’ operation. Our employees see a lot more potential for their growth within the company. The program has enabled them to make operational decisions that are in line with our goals and objectives without having to consult us. Many other businesses would definitely benefit by Business Advantage’s help in the development of various systems, strategies and goals as it enables owners to take the time to focus on and develop their true vision of where they want to go and the means to attain their goals.”
