Thank you for helping me over the hurdle. I’d been trying to
find a new target market since the building trades went downhill with very little luck. I just didn’t know how to go about it. I was stuck in preparation mode and unsure how to take the first step. With a few tips and a lot of work I signed my first client in my new target market within a month of our sessions.
Thank you so much!

I’m starting to get fruit from my efforts BUT…. I know that if it wasn’t for the support from ALL of the FocalPoint gang I wouldn’t be where I am today. From the top down and bottom back up. I’ve been nudged, challenged, supported (when it looked like I was missing off the radar), congratulated and High 5’d from so many. It’s that environment, a kaleidoscope of comments, ideas and go get ‘em that believe made the difference.

A huge Thank you to ALL of you, if I can help you let me know, no matter what!!!!!

P.S. There is much more to come!!

"While I already have
a successful practice, I started working with Greg last year.  I asked him to help me clarify the
strategies I was using in my practice and to work with me on allocating
more time to the activities that really create value for me, my business, and
my clients.   I just reviewed my financials for my year-end and noted
that my income almost doubled in the past year.   I credit a good
portion of that success to my work with
Greg.

“Greg was hired to help us refine and implement a growth strategy for
our manufacturing company. He immediately had a solid grasp on our
opportunities and obstacles and with his background brought both common
sense as well as unique suggestions to the table each and every meeting.
We've implemented many suggestions and they are making a huge
difference. Greg has helped tremendously.”

“Greg was able to walk into a room filled with attorneys at 8:30a the
morning, get and hold our attention - no small feat!

In a very short period of time, and in a very engaging way, he was able
to present us with practical tips for managing our time in order to
better serve our clients and grow our business. I'm already putting
some of these into practice. I appreciated the references he left us
with for further reading, as well as the suggestions for ways we could
work with him in a more in-depth manner to develop our own marketing
plans.”

“Recently Greg DeSimone played an integral roll at our annual sales
meeting. Within only a brief coaching segment, Greg was able to bring
focus to our sales force by highlighting simple action steps that are
critical to setting and reaching sales objectives. His overall
presentation was impactful and as a plus, he followed up with
complimentary individual consultations.”

“Greg presented complex sales and customer service concepts to our
trainees. They were able to immediately put his presentation to use.
The class was enjoyable and our trainees have remembered and implemented
the concepts with tangible results.”

"I hired Greg to help me implement my business plan. Greg offered me a type of business coaching that is unique. Rather than walking me through a step-by-step process promoted by the latest business guru, Greg took the time to understand my business, my personality, and my goals. He then proceeded to coach me by developing a methodology that I am comfortable with. As a result, my business has doubled in the last 6 weeks and is expected to double again before the end of the year. I would highly recommend Greg to any business looking for an individualized approach to coaching in order to grow their business."

My business partner and I hired Greg to help us "grow" our business. While we both felt things were "OK", we also knew that our upside potential was tremendous. Greg has far surpassed my expectations. He has helped us prioritize our goals, tighten our marketing message, and not only functioned as a professional consultant but has become a friend in the process. I find that I am more focused on the business priorities and looking more critically at what I need to accomplish. I would highly recommend Greg.

“I worked with Greg for about 8 years in several roles at Workscape, where I ran one of the business units while he was the Controller and Chief Accounting Officer. I greatly appreciated Greg’s business sense and connection to the overall drivers of our business. While his qualifications and expertise in the financial and accounting aspects of our business were a given, the value Greg offered to me as an advisor went way beyond this. Greg was keenly aware of the positioning, competitive landscape and climate in which our business operated and was therefore able to add significant value to us with his advice, analytics and participation as part of the Senior Management Team. A great example of his impact on the business, which occurred frequently, was in contract negotiations, not only with prospective clients, but also with vendors. Greg has great instincts related to the strategy of the negotiation, the concession path and what, ultimately we as a business were trying to achieve. Greg is a solid business partner on the executive team who will deliver strong performance from his area, but more importantly contribute greatly to the success of the business”
