$4 Million Construction Company: "Our teams have
really stepped up to the plate. We all know what is
required and why. Everyone is happier with structure and
procedures in place. We have truly become a team … we
help each other with issues, buyers and subcontractors.
We now stand as one … from the sale to the turning over
of the keys. We value each other and our strengths. I
cannot stress enough the importance of the team!!
Additionally, our sales have remained at the same level
during the downturn in the market. Consequently, we have
been able to retain all employees and are in a position
to grow at the next upturn." CP, Owner
$4 Million Cabinet Supplier: "Just to let you know that [a key
employee] is so jolly and cooperative right now. Seems
like you have put him at ease as well as us. He is
talking about having meetings and about where we are
going. Don't worry, I won't fall into that slippery slope
area again!! But at least there is a dialogue between
him and [an owner]. I have a good feeling about this
now. Want to thank you for your patience. Thanks again."

to listen. It was clear he was a team player, and he wanted
everyone to play." DB, President
