 Arizona Business Consultants, LLC can help you when you want to expand your business, increase your sales and/or cut your costs and increase your net profit, or make some other major changes. It may benefit you to discuss the possible outcomes with one of our consultants and see if we can help you can flesh out the pros and cons of making major changes.
Arizona Business Consultants, LLC does not profess to know all the answers. We realize that there is often more risk in making changes to a successful business then making changes to one that is already failing. We are willing to meet and listen to your ideas, do some analysis, and come up with assumptions on possible outcomes.
This is a sort of think tank, or brainstorming, experience. We can investigate competitors that may have made similar changes to the ones you are contemplating. We will supply some of the possible outcomes. We supply various ideas and you make the final decisions.
-
: Arizona Business Consultants, LLC can help you to determine what type of marketing might be cost effective for your business and give you the most bang for your buck! Sometimes there are risks in changing your marketing plan as changes may not bring in more customers. Major changes may even cause you to lose some of the customers you were bringing in. It is wise to do tests before making changes to a presently successful marketing plan.
-
: Shaping your individual employees to function more as a team is usually helpful, but sometimes changing company policy causes problems. Problems might include ideas on profit sharing and bonuses for increased production. There are pitfalls in starting bonus plans as when employees don’t hit the needed bonuses there are sometimes hard feelings.

or the focus of the service you provide. Again this is an area of risk and tests should be done before any major, permanent changes are made.
-
: Arizona Business Consultants, LLC can help with objective and confidential investigations in this area before you make major changes. Once you switch to new suppliers, sometimes the old suppliers won’t want to take you back for having left them if things don‘t work out.

: There are at least two ways that a successful business can improve. They can add new products and services while keeping the existing ones, or they can replace existing products and services with new ones and drop the old ones. There is often risk to a successful business in replacing performing products and services then just adding additional ones to the line of exiting products and services. But sometimes there is a cost factor, or other reasons, to not add new items and also keep the old ones. For instance in a business that sells products, it costs more to keep an inventory of the old products AND add a new inventory of additional products. The same may hold true for a business that continues to offer all of its present services AND then adds a lot of new additional services that it will also offer.
In order to keep costs down, sometimes businesses will 'replace' existing products or services. Or they will replace existing ways to doing certain operations in their business. It may be a good idea to discuss making changes with an experienced consultant before making them. However this is an area where no one can offer guarantees other than a best faith effort to try to discover many possible options, including some you may not have thought of.
At our first meeting, you and your consultant will discuss your situation and find out your goals. Your consultant will then prepare a proposal suggesting what he/she thinks is needed for your company to reach those goals, and what the probable cost will be. There is no cost for this initial service. The meeting can be at our office, your business, or at a coffee shop that is convenient to both of us. You then consider the proposal and if you want to continue we will start the project. There are no hidden costs, everything is explained up front and we offer a no-gimmick service with old fashioned mentoring from a successful, experienced business person.
