Q: You don't know anything about my business or industry. How can you help me?
A: This is actually a huge advantage. Square One comes in without industry blinders on. In addition, experience gained across a wide range of manufacturing and service companies has shown that business is business. There are more similarities than you think. And your company will profit from the experiences of all those other companies that have engaged Square One.
Q: Why can't we just meet occasionally?
A: Because you won't get it done without someone pushing the ball downfield. The key to having success with ANY effort lies more in making steady progress. Grand plans and marching bands don't get it done. Bull dogged focus and commitment does. The tortoise ALWAYS wins the race.
Q: Why don't you list costs to engage Square One on your website?
A: This is not a "bait and switch" tactic. It is the first hurdle Square One's clients must overcome in order to realize the process efficiencies and increased profitability promised by Square One. The client must COMMIT to the process.
Any costs listed here would likely be compared to "$00.00", which is what those seeking Square One's services currently have committed. When a client decides to commit to the process, discussions on the Square One investment will proceed quickly.
Q: Why do you focus on smaller companies?
A: Fewer politics to wrestle with. Smaller companies are less likely to have created the layers of bureaucracy (or "silos") that inhibit the success of an outsourced resource like Square One. Employees at a smaller company are doing so many things, Square One is seen as a helper, not as a threat. Most importantly, though, the results promised by a commitment to "Protect, Penetrate, Prosper" are realized much sooner…and are appreciated much more…in a smaller company. |
