Tim has been working with our 28 y.o. financial management training company since late 2010, guiding us through the process of creating a strategic plan to help convert us from a service-based company to an e-learning product-based company. Tim has been instrumental in keeping us focused, on-task, and has challenged us appropriately throughout the past 5 months to ensure that we're planning the right steps for the right reasons. He has great insights, is highly organized, has a wealth of experience in numerous business applications, is well connected in the business community, and has been a real asset to our team.

Tim was an essential part of the Morse Industries advisory board. His creativity, leadership and insight set a powerful example for company senior managers. I also often called upon Tim when formulating marketing strategy for his straight-forward, incisive advice and direction. I highly recommend his services for any company looking to grow and succeed in competitive spaces.

I have known Tim for over seven years when he parachuted into our company offering business experience that was critical to managing the rapid growth of Point It. Tim has rarely asked for anything in return. He simply loves the space, the company and has a passion for everything business. Tim has truly been an Angel to Point It and has helped us make the critical decisions we had to make during good and tough times. I highly recommend Tim to any entrepreneur seeking an expert guiding hand.

Tim was a visionary who created a new segment in the storage industry. He was an inspirational leader that educated as he inspired his employees to new heights in personal and professional growth. I would not have had the success to date without Tim's mentorship and leadership. Those that have learned from Tim are those that I would be happy to work with in any time.

I've had the pleasure of working with Tim as part of a very active Advisory Board. I find Tim to be exceedingly insightful and his experience is enormously helpful. He communicates well and is gracious with his praise of others, but also candid with his critiques.

I hope to someday work more in depth with Tim and I feel fortunate to have met him and worked with him. I would highly recommend him to others.

Tim Riley, IPO to Start-Up Experience. 2X Inc 500 Recipient answered:

How many new clients and what types of clients (individual, business)? Local? Here is a pick list of strategies I know work: If he has a large, satisfied base, use them for referrals and to get their friends to seminars that he hosts. He could partner with a stock brokerage firm (they usually don't do taxes) and do joint marketing (education-based meetings on minimizing taxes, increasing business cash flow, etc.), partner with a legal firm and do joint marketing, their own meeting titled "How to read your business financial statements like a CPA" or "10 ways to get more cash flow out of your business". I have a long list on this topic so connect and I am happy to share.
