Consulting
Consulting without the buzzwords
Thirty years building media-technology businesses, now spent on yours.
Organizations that work with me succeed. That’s the simple truth of it.
After leaving media technology I have served many organizations as a consultant. My approach focuses on the spirit and the processes that lead to success — and avoids the buzzwords most consultants lead with.
Seven ways I help
Where the work usually starts.
Reinvention
Companies fall into ruts. They lose their drive, or they lose their way in a world that changed around them. I help you find the spark and the spirit that set you apart in the first place, and fill it back up.
Leadership Training
Sales, management and customer service all rest on the same thing: the quality of your leaders. I build leaders from within, using The John Maxwell Team and Maxwell Leadership material.
Business Development
I am a veteran of three start-ups that became national powerhouses. I develop and upgrade business and marketing plans built for growth, not for the filing cabinet.
Marketing
Strategy and execution for cost-effective business-to-business marketing, with particular depth in the broadcast, AV and media-centric IT market.
Simplifying
Simplicity as a strategy — for project design, service offerings, business processes and the balance between life and work. But simplicity is not easy.
Creativity
Building a culture of creativity and innovation, so that the organization, its sales and its satisfaction all grow together.
Communication
“Everyone communicates. Few connect.” Turning customers into advocates and employees into evangelists. In most organizations this is the weakest point.
“I have known Tom and worked with him for fourteen years. He is both knowledgeable and professional. People who work with Tom, succeed.”
“He has provided me with direction and advice I could count on. If you are looking for a high level of expertise, professional and personal integrity, and the ability to work in any professional environment, I would give Tom the highest recommendation.”
Everything great starts with a conversation.
Tell me what you are working on. The first conversation is free, and there is no pitch at the end of it.
