A Crash Course on What We Offer and Why We are Successful

 

BTF is a Management Consultant Company that operates as a profit center whose primary rule is to “DO NO HARM.”  We have honed our business skills over the past 15 years by managing numerous Startups, Turnarounds, Rollups, and Acquisitions.  This valuable experience has resulted in proven abilities to solve business problems and to recognize “what makes a deal.”

 

When is the last time that you made an investment in your business that had a guaranteed Rate of Return on that investment?  How does 200% sound?

 

There’s a difference in the kind of help that you can get for your small to medium sized business.  You can choose the traditional offering that’s been around for 50 years.   You can agree to a “free analysis” of your business. You’ll get a sales rep to come in and make a presentation based on your existing information.  The idea is to convince you that their “cookie cutter” approach to business improvement will result in substantive changes in your business.  In some cases, this “one size fits all” approach to business re-engineering works pretty well.  Generally, these are companies that are basically fairly solid with some minor hurdles to clear.  For the rest of us (those of us with more serious issues to address), the conventional approach to small business consulting leaves us some good ideas, but no way to implement them.  Why can’t a small business get the same kind of first rate, custom tailored business advice and systems that the big boys have?  Is it just too expensive for small businesses to afford?

 

The answer is that you can.  BTF Management Consultants is a real consulting firm with real answers specifically tailored to your business and the problems that you face, no matter what they may be.  Yes, you still get the free business analysis.  The secret to that is that such an analysis is a part of the due diligence that ALL consulting firms must do.  The fact that the old line firms don’t want you to know is that there is a great deal more to that process than just making a “butcher paper” presentation based on the application of pre-made package solutions, if you really want to help a business thrive in the long-term.  Real consulting help is based on performance and results.  The BTF solutions are centered on those two factors.

 

BTF Management Consultants wants to establish a long-term professional relationship with entrepreneurial management as a source of business expertise that contributes to the solution of your business problems.  BTF is high-powered senior executive talent available to business that solves problems on a pay for performance basis.  BTF is a profit center with 100% client satisfaction guaranteed.  (See www.btfmanagement.com for details.)

 

BTF takes all the risk by performing a due diligence survey of your business on-site prior to accepting a project.  The information developed and problem identification data is available to the client and is confidential to BTF.  This information will not be released in any form without the written permission of the client.  This process is what allows BTF to solve your problems on a guaranteed basis. 

 

Are you operating your business?  Are you controlling your business?  Are you making a profit?  Do you want more profit, time off, control of expenses, exit plan, business plan, market and sales plan, financial reporting, management organization, risk and asset management, or just help?  These examples are but a few of the problems solved by BTF.  Phone, fax, or email for quick answers.

 

100% Client Satisfaction

All BTF clients are required to document their satisfaction with a letter at the end of the project that answers the following questions. 

 

Ø  Are you satisfied with the quality and quantity of service provided?

Ø  Is the increased profit identified real and attainable?

Ø  Has all work been installed and are all programs functioning?

Ø  Do the documented savings and income enhancement totals exceed twice the project cost as calculated by the client accounting personnel?   200+% ROI

 

If the answer to these four questions is not yes, the BTF contract for service continues at no charge until a positive letter of satisfaction is obtained.

 

BTF will produce a healthy business that satisfies the client, produces a profit, and protects the assets from catastrophic loss.  The BTF plan for each business is tailor made to fit the needs and available assets.  In general the control points are listed below:

 

Statement of Goals                   To lead you must know where you are going.

Asset-Controls                          Control and protection of all resources is mandatory.

Cash Management                    A business cannot operate a day with out cash.

Profit Plan                                 The responsibility of management is to make a profit.

Variance Reporting                    First measure then manage.

Flash Reports                            Management is to be informed of project status.

Financial Management               Without financial management every business will fail.

Resource Management              Protection of resources produces long-term success.

Exit Plan                                     Every goal must have an end of game plan.

 

 

The first request from BTF for information is to make sure there is not an unidentified elephant problem.  We both must be sure of the nature of the project.  To this end BTF has a short list of Due Diligence Material.  Not all business factors can be covered.  Any critical information should be included.  As stated this procedure is to keep the consultant from wasting time and your money.  This information would be available on site to begin the project survey.

BTF HELPS YOU MASTER THE

10 RULES FOR THE SURVIVAL AND

GROWTH OF YOUR BUSINESS

 

1.    Create a strategic plan for growing your business, establish benchmarks for performance, and hold your managers accountable for the numbers.

  1. Don’t wait for annual reviews to make adjustments to your business plan.  Markets don’t wait for annual planning reviews, nor should you.
  2. Every business owner must make a personal transformation from technical expert to master strategist for the enterprise.
  3. Adopt the 3 cardinal principles of business growth: Drive the numbers higher today; drive the numbers higher tomorrow; and drive the numbers higher this week.  If you focus on growing your business in the short term, you won’t have to worry about growth over the long run.
  4. Develop a financial and operational reporting system that allows you to track all your critical numbers.  If you don’t measure it, you can’t manage.
  5. Hold a daily management “huddle” with all department heads to go over the numbers and make adjustments to daily action plans.
  6. Control your cost when growing your business by budgeting percentages rather than dollars.
  7. Identify all the people who are driving your business and create incentives for each of them to grow your business for you.
  8. Throw out the old management model you started your business with and create a new one.  Innovation in management systems is the key to out-distancing your competitors in the race to the top.
  9. Growing a business is like competing in a championship sport.

BTF can prevent a bankruptcy to ensure the client’s survival of a immediate financial crisis and restore problem loans.

Why More Than Just the Client’s Business Is At Risk

Leading and fixing a troubled business can be extremely difficult – and it puts the Lenders, Suppliers and the Client at high risk. This is true whether you are a business executive, small business owner, director or a turnaround professional filling an interim role.

Through the turmoil, it is difficult to know what the problems are, how to fix them and what to do first. You know that any wrong moves could shut down the business and result in a bankruptcy filing. These missteps are so easy to make right now.

If a business goes bankrupt, the Bank can face creditor and shareholder lawsuits. And, the client will have to make good on any personal guarantees that have been signed. The Business Owner could easily lose personnel savings, house and retirement potential.  Worse yet, a business failure will stain your reputation. When a business fails, there is no upside for anybody.

 

BTF has successful business consultants that restructure a business by following a logical turnaround approach.

. Turnaround situations are too complex to manage by the seat of your pants. BTF has the experience, education, and talent to accomplish this task.
