What do the most successful consulting businesses do to build their business?

My business partner and I co-founded a marketing and business consulting company that is on track for our 3rd year as an Oregon Fastest Growing Company. Some things that have worked for us to grow:

1) Setting up good SEO on our site.
2) Writing regular blog posts.
3) Asking our customers and business network for referrals
4) Gathering great testimonials.
5) Getting regular endorsements on LinkedIn.
6) Helping our clients reach their goals (i.e. being good at what we do).
7) Establishing relationships with the local media.
8) Guest posting.
9) Developing strong relationships with people who are "connectors" in our target communities.
10) Attending important local events.
11) Hiring people who have connections in the community.

Seldom in business do you partner with an associate who intuitively knows how things SHOULD be. When that happens, you need to retain that person for any applicable role s/he is in any way suited for.
Wendy is that person. Throw her in a den of lions, she'll make lemonade. Toss her in a snake pit, she'll serve roasted turkey with all the trimmings- for twelve.

I wish all partners were as skilled, contentious and qualified as Wendy. She is an expert at providing effective marketing strategies as well as an accomplished Operatic Chanteuse.

PLEASE Ask her to sing selections of her favorite opera standards:
Mozart (The Magic Flute), a Verdi La Traviata), Bizet's Carmen, Puccini (La Boheme), and absolutely anything by Wagner.

so Sublime.

Wendy's team at Kinesis provided incredibly fast turnaround on a Wordpress blog project with a very short deadline....and she personally trained me on how to use the technology!

Watch out! Her passion for marketing is contagious !

A little over a year ago we engaged Kinesis to assist Nishkian Dean in developing a strategic marketing plan and support us in executing that plan. Wendy Maynard led that effort for us. She was very committed to organizing our efforts and diligent in seeing our progress as we executed the plan. We have seen both growth in our business and an increasing market share for building our local presence in Portland market. I would highly recommend Wendy to work with you to build your business.

We initially hired Wendy and her team to perform some market research and do some analysis to help find our strengths and weaknesses in our marketplace. We found their expertise so beneficial we continued to employ them for another two projects!

We moved into another phase with Wendy and her team to create a new look and brand to better position us within our target markets. And finally, we hired Wendy with a year-long Strategic Growth Plan. Throughout each phase, we found the Kinesis Team professional, knowledgable, and willing to think above and beyond the "normal" view of marketing.

By hiring Wendy and her team, we got more than a marketing firm or vendor, we got a business partner that helped us move forward and put us in a direction for success and growth. People typically think of marketing and sales for a company like this, but they helped us solve one of our pain-points in recruiting and employee retention as part of their over-all plan.

I would recommend Wendy and Kinesis to any business looking to improve their brand identity, upgrade internal focus on vaules and goals, and raise the over-all sense of mission in their organization while adding to the bottom line.

Wendy is an extremely smart, detail-oriented, and strategic communicator. In short, she gets results. Anyone interested in establishing a strong company brand would be wise to hire her and Kinesis to improve their business success.

Wendy is awesome. I co-hosted an Internet Marketing teleclass with her and possibly wrote more notes than the participants. She is an expert marketer - helping small business owners start, promote and grow their companies. She's honest and insightful. You definitely want to utilize her Marketing Maven system.

We hired Wendy and Kinesis to design our company website. Their approach is highly personalized; Wendy and her team take the time to fully understand a client's goals and expectations. The resulting website has really stood the test of time for our company, allowing us to effectively showcase our brand, staff, and projects. I highly recommend Wendy and the Kinesis team!

I hired Wendy to design a company logo and brand my business but she did much more. Her insightful questions about my company's mission, products and services helped me better define my target customers and fine tune my business and marketing strategies. Wendy's approach is highly personalized; she takes the time to fully understand your goals and expectations. I would recommend Wendy and her Kinesis team to anyone without hesitation.

Wendy not only has a creative flair and a savvy business acumen, she produces quality work. It was a pleasure working with her.

Wendy is fantastic! She is incredibly knowledgeable and committed to her clients and her clients’ success. Wendy takes the time to get to know your business, and what makes it tick. She then applies it to goal setting for success. Wendy and her firm, Kinesis, helped our firm with a complete re-brand – they took a process that appeared to be daunting and absolutely terrifying and made it into a fun and collaborative effort with an amazing outcome. We wouldn’t be where we are today without Wendy and Kinesis.
