Testimonials

“We've learned to make time for what's important… we're thinking about long-term issues… we're creating a process and a habit. …with Strategy Leaders, you have to be careful what you wish for … they make it happen"

—Greg Hayden, business owner, Hayden Building Maintenance Corp., starting with a Rockland County base, Hayden has grown to provide services throughout the Northeast and Southern United States; industry leader in quality commercial roofing, installation and maintenance, waterproofing and restoration, since 1973.

“With Strategy Leaders, we got both an MBA and a coach to educate and guide us through the challenges we faced.”

—Susan Villamena, partner S&R Associates, Sales Training, Coaching, Hiring Program and Sales Management Strategies

“After 10 years as a regional business, we saw an opportunity to expand nationally. We needed a helping hand to go through that process and began researching consultants. Strategy Leaders' references were exceptional and they were a natural match for us.

We've had an extremely positive experience with Strategy Leaders. It's a bit humbling – you think you know what you need, and then you get into it and you realize didn't have a clue. It's like a mini-MBA program. If I tried this on my own, I would have wasted a lot of time and a lot of money.

Strategy Leaders is exactly what our company needed to move forward. They've given us a solid process to make smart business decisions – that's what I'm most happy with. They bring such professionalism to every meeting. They don't waste time and they don't deal with any nonsense. They're a pleasure to work with.

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.”

—David Cornett, owner, E-Rate Online LLC

“I can unequivocally say that the Ask Andi column is right on the mark. I'm never disappointed and always amazed at how Andi identifies the issues which need to be resolved in business."

—Dee DelBello, Publisher, Westchester County Business Journal

“Because of Strategy Leaders, we are more knowledgeable and confident, can handle more employees and have more business-like atmosphere. And, as owner, I'm not alone, anymore.”

—Ed Winiarski, Optimum Applied Systems, Vantage Manufacturing and EAW, providers of advanced technology and manufacturing solutions for a broad range of commercial and government customers.

“Strategy Leaders has put us on the road to more money, more time and less stress."

—Nancy Gold, owner The Gold Standard, one of the Hudson Valley's most experienced public relations and marketing communications firms.

“It's like having a board of directors on hand. They pull me out of the day-to-day. I'm operating a growing company, with real controls and targets. I know what makes money for my business."

—Keith Bell, owner Bell HVAC, residential and commercial HVAC service and installation; an honest, durable investment, tailored to your specific home or business needs.

“Every time we have a meeting I get more than my money's worth. They tell me something that saves me 2 months, or they fix something I've been struggling with for 18 months. It just clicks, it all comes together and makes sense. It's like they help me figure how to find the on-switch: The machine goes on and becomes more than just the box of parts. I'd been looking for the right help for 3 years: a systematic roadmap to move from owner operator to a real business, in an effective timeframe. It's been worth every penny. I've learned so much from them.”

—Joseph Malcarne, owner Malcarne Contracting: Customer Centered Craftsmanship, Construction and Energy Star Builder

"I am thrilled with the program. We're miles ahead from where we started."

—Geoff Geils, owner, Flowery, licensor and distributor of beauty products since 1910.

"It was a personalized MBA program. I learned a tremendous amount about working ON the business, rather than working IN the business. The work we did together focused on my own business, it wasn't just theoretical, it was practical advice and tools I could use to better run my business."

—Janet Duggin, owner, Janet Duggin Associates

“Working with Strategy Leaders will give you the opportunity to empower yourself and the people within your company, to make your business a success”

—Peter Gordon, business owner Graphic Design, internet and print solutions

Our experience with Strategy Leaders has been fantastic. They give us tons of insight, a lot of knowledge we just didn't have. They lay out real strategies to solve problems. It's a whole different way of looking at things. In the first six months, we made tremendous progress.

—Richard D'errico, Partner D'errico Jewelers

Meadowlink worked with eight consultants who claimed that they could teach us our business. They all failed because they didn't understand that we know our business better than any consultants. What we did not know is the business of conducting business, which is universally applicable and which Strategy Leaders was able to incorporate into our operations.

—Krishna Murthy, Executive Director Meadowlink

Strategy Leaders has been a good investment. I love the way they think about things, they're very process-oriented and get straight to the heart of it. They've got a prescription for how business should be organized and they teach you that methodology.

—Jon Carter, Owner & President Ward Leonard

The handle on our financial situation is worlds better than it was prior to working with Strategy Leaders. We're an investment advisory company; in this bear market, we could have really slipped behind. I'm certain that if we had not worked with Strategy Leaders we wouldn't be in nearly as good a position as we are in now.

—Bob Harclerode, Owner Stonebridge Capital Management

The [Strategy Leaders] process has been really good for us... Like many companies, we were guilty of looking only at the 'Big Picture.' They've helped us focus on and improve the individual components – finance, sales, marketing, personnel. That has been very helpful.

—Michael & Cindy Rosenbaum, Owners Happy Kids Productions Inc.

"Strategy Leaders offers down to earth communication, in an intelligible way. They know how to tune the message to their audience. It was a good investment of time and money. The next generation can use the tools provided as a model to run our business."

—Kenny Ingwer, owner, Leo Ingwer, Inc. and To Have and To Hold, Inc.
