We promoted my production manager to general manager and trained him to take over everything that had been taking up my time</i>.” The client was then able to focus on finding new customers, <i>“which is what the company needed the most.” </i></p> <p>The consultant<i> “also implemented a new sales program with a few of my current employees. He worked with my office manager, trained her to work with the new cash management program that he gave her, in order to provide me with a weekly cash position and future cash-flow projection report, which was another thing that was consuming my time.” </i></p> <p>Additionally, the consultant met with each of the client’s employees in order to help them understand their roles and responsibilities in helping to turn a profit. He explained what Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) would be utilized to measure their success, going forward.</p> <h3><span style="color: #000000;">Result</span></h3> <p><i>“I truly expect these changes to turn things around. I have nothing, but the highest regard and respect for our consultant, both as a person and as a businessman. He really knows how to organize a business and I would not hesitate recommending him to fellow business owners!”</i> Bruce, Owner</p> <p> </p> <p> </p> ]]></content:encoded> </item> <item> <title>CBS Reviews: Our Business Outgrew Us</title> <link>http://www.cbs-cbs.com/cbs-reviews-our-business-outgrew-us/</link> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Carrie Ann Green]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2014 18:11:53 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[CBS Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Budget]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Cash Flow]]></category> <category><![CDATA[construction]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Corporate Business Solutions Reviews]]></category> <category><![CDATA[QuickBooks]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Small Business Consulting]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.cbs-cbs.com/?p=1497</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.cbs-cbs.com/wp-content/uploads/Outgrew.jpg"></a></p> <h3><span style="color: #000000;">Situation</span></h3> <p>Before Corporate Business Solutions arrived, this commercial construction industry client, in business for over twelve years, was <i>“out of control with our recent growth.”</i></p> <p><i>“Our business outgrew us,” </i>stated the client.</p> <h3><span style="color: #000000;">Process</span></h3> <p>The Corporate Business Solutions consultant<i> “has spent about five weeks here with us.

He has worked extensively with our staff for them to learn how to work more efficiently, taking over some of the tasks that my husband has always done. He put many hours into refining our bid process, which had always taken my husband days. Now our staff, with spreadsheets that our consultant created, does it in a few hours and my husband is able to just check it and send it out.</i></p> <p><i>We have figured out what’s making money and what’s losing money and we’ve made adjustments to fix the problems. He helped us set up a budget, manage cash flow and, most importantly, cleaned up our profit & loss statement and balance sheet. The bank will love it. Our accountant is already very impressed.”</i></p> <h3><span style="color: #000000;">Result</span></h3> <p><i>“Our consultant stepped in and has given us the tools to move forward and even to continue to grow.
