Client Success Story: Valuable Consulting for a Fitness Center

OUR PROCESS

Initial Discovery

To gain a thorough understanding of the new client’s needs and challenges, we will ask probing questions to learn about their business, goals, and pain points.  We want to grasp how they perceive challenges and what outcomes they desire.

Building rapport is crucial.  We aim to create a positive connection with the client, fostering trust and openness.

 

Project Planning

Projects are jointly planned, resulting in a letter of engagement that specifies steps, expectations, obligations, materials, and participants. This approach has been effective for over thirty years, ensuring alignment and clear communication. Fees are charged by the project, not hourly.

Communication

We are easily reachable via phone calls, texts, or in-person meetings as needed. We strive to close the communication loop with weekly updates on activities, progress, and other important information.

How Jim Rooney & People Smart Tools Are Unique

Jim Rooney possesses a profound understanding of the challenges faced by businesses and municipalities. His innovative and creative mindset often leads him to employ reverse logic—thinking in opposites—to enhance business operations.
In 2001, Jim founded the R.E.A.D. (Review, Evaluate, Adjust, and Develop) Change Management Business Development Group. This collaborative environment, where business owners meet as an alternative board of advisors, fosters powerful business growth.
As an engaged listener, he facilitates energy and idea flow, helping discover valuable alternatives to challenges and opportunities.  Jim helps you break free from prevailing attitudes or beliefs more easily than imagined.
