Business and Management Consulting Client Testimonials
In my work as an independent management consultant, I have been fortunate. My clients have been with few exceptions men and women of courage, competence and grit who have with determination and integrity faced their challenges, worked with me to find solutions, and took actions on strategies we developed together.
Your process taught me that I must first learn to lead myself before I can learn to lead others.
Over three plus years, Jerry has supported the growth of our Company in two ways: 1) By developing and helping us implement our strategic plan of managed growth and 2) By recruiting key positions at all levels of our operations.
After our time together yesterday, I got more work done today than I have in the last three months. I am so happy how this is working for me.
Our firm recently engaged Jerry Llewellyn to help us put into place an Employee Incentive Plan. The final output from the project far exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend Jerry Llewellyn.
Jerry you have brought my business to life. You REALLY are the business whisperer!
Jerry created systems and organizational processes that freed up my time and allowed me to work on the business instead of so much in the business. This allowed us to double in size in the last four years!
Last year we basically broke-even or lost a little. This year using the initiatives and plans developed with Jerry Llewellyn with only a few weeks to go in this year we expect a 72% annual revenue increase with over 15% net profit!
After 14 years in business with no clear sales and marketing plan, your help in finding the right sales leader gives us the opportunity to finally begin growing the company beyond our current customer base. Your objectivity and training to help me become more objective helped me correct a personnel problem that could easily have buried my company. What you have done with our management team is almost miraculous. Everyone is so enthusiastic now and loves coming to work, including me! Mid-year our net profits were six times what they had ever had been & I had to figure out what to do with the money!
In my role as Director of IRA Services, and now CEO here at Goldco, I have worked closely with and observed Jerry Llewellyn in every aspect of his consulting work with our company throughout 2016. During this year with Jerry’s support, we have grown our business from $53 million to $85 million in gross sales. Jerry has been instrumental in helping to minimize the challenges associated with this type of growth. He has consistently demonstrated his ability to draw out the best in others – their best ideas and their best efforts to build teamwork and high levels of performance.
From a solid foundation of an organization structure that Jerry helped us build, we have been able to grow from $6 Million in 2013 to $18 Million in 2017.
At a time when my company needed a pivotal move, Jerry Llewellyn offered personalized, structural reorganization plans to properly advance my business with both employees and clients.
I was initially impressed with Jerry Llewellyn’s enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when I hired him last month as a business consultant. We, at Gulf Coast Flooring, feel we are in a much better position to meet the demands of the future due to Jerry’s business acumen.
You have been able to put into words problems that have been causing us trouble for years and found solutions where none were thought possible. There have been a lot of other consultants talk to me over time, even ones specifically from my industry, and no one else has given me the kind of insights that you have. Also, you made us $50,000 in the first four hours of consulting. How do you do that?
Jerry is very knowledgeable, very experienced. We have tried several other consultants that have claimed to be able to resolve family dynamic concerns and they have failed. You have demonstrated how to be productive in meetings by helping us define conflict and develop solutions.
I contracted with Jerry Llewellyn in 2007 to provide business consulting services for my food manufacturing company, White Mountain Foods. I had recently taken over control of the family business and wanted to grow it, but had no clear path forward. Within three years my profit grew by 1000% allowing me to add and keep quality critical staff which led to even greater profit, currently at a 2000% increase over the 2007 level. Mr. Llewellyn’s bedside manner is well honed, easy to get along with, unassuming, and non-threatening all at the same time.
Jerry, after spending just two days with you I am 100% convinced that we made the right selection in hiring you. I am honored to be working with you both and feel really blessed that somehow you two have been brought into our lives at this time. Because of you, I am more relaxed today than I have been in more than two years.
Jerry, you were extremely easy to get along with and very professional. We could tell that you love what you do and are fantastic at it. You gave our teams very clear directions on how to move out of the confusion we were in. Now our teams are very excited about the future and clear about their vision, mission, and accountabilities. You gave us 6 months worth of management and supervision training documents to support us in your absence. It has been invaluable to us to have the objective third party view of our challenges.
Jerry, I just wanted to let you know that your services are greatly appreciated. I’m thankful for your wisdom and experience, but especially for the direction given to our company. The revelatory results have been amazing. We really feel that we are on track and prepared for our anticipated growth. I know that you would credit us for the results, but much of this is thanks to you. Your calm demeanor and reassuring tone was well received by the whole team. Thanks a million, Jerry.
You helped us establish our vision, our mission, and importantly, got us to roll up our sleeves and get down to the tough task of addressing our specific critical goals and the action steps we need to take to obtain them. Thanks to you we are no longer stuck, but moving forward with confidence.
