SMALL BUSINESS CONSIGLIERE

Griffin Long

We run a niche business that makes has extreme seasons. Ten million emails, 25,000+ sales in 7 days with more than 10,000 sales in the final 36-48 hours. We even have hours when we are having more than 1000 sales in one hour. No problems there.

Then there are the lean seasons. Fewer than 100 sales in a week. Working with Westernston we identified ways to get more sales during lean seasons. Our overall lean season sales have increased 35%, and we just started working.

While the incremental revenue is only 3% so far, net profit is up by 6%. Safe to say, our investment with Westernston has paid itself over at least 10x. And that’s if we stop consulting the mindmap altogether.

Team Westernston has been a life-saver for a long time!

They take care of everything that falls within the scope of our contract…and then they go beyond. I wish I could award 10 Stars.

Especially noteworthy is their strategic outlook, which is beyond expectations. Once you have your strategy, getting things done is easy, the products are easy to understand, and our campaigns work, and we are making money.

I have been a client of Westernston for a while. The commitment from the founders in the community, supporting us 100%, is something not common these days. I really appreciate this. We have been able to launch products extremely fast with Westernston. We have been able to share the stage with Grammy-award winning musicians with little to no effort on our part. Truly outstanding results and insane productivity.

Let me preface by saying this – I love taking quizzes, diagnoses and questionnaires.

So when I saw Westernston’s Business Diagnosis, naturally I had to take it. I had fully expected to excel and receive an A – I am a third-generation businesswoman. And our numbers have been nearly always northward.

So when the quiz was over, and I received a “C” I was furious. At first, I wanted to rage on Westernston people and demand a refund. But I am glad my cooler persona prevailed, and I looked at the explanation. It was good and bad.

Good because I could see exactly what made my business risky. And bad, because I knew I had a lot of work to do.

At the end of the day, I had to digest the poison pill, but it was well worth it. At least I know now how naked I am.

I had taken over the family business after my father developed a rare form of Parkinson’s… and despite my best efforts, I was overwhelmed. We were going downhill.

I saw an ad and took Westernston’s diagnostic quiz. But the results were not what I expected. The quiz revealed that the business was hemorrhaging money in countless ways. I had never noticed these issues before, but now that they were in front of me, it was impossible to ignore. I realized that my fixed costs were too high, our marketing strategies were ineffective, and my accounts were not being managed properly.

As soon as I saw what was going wrong, it was impossible not to think about answers to the various issues plaguing my business.

I have been the proud owner of a small business for over ten years, but lately I had been feeling overwhelmed.

With mounting costs and decreasing profits, I have been at a loss as to how to turn things around. Around three months ago, I came across Westernston’s diagnostic quiz. I answered the questions honestly, assuming the results would merely confirm what I already knew.

But when the assessment was complete, I was met with unexpected results – we have been losing money in more ways than we had originally thought.

Armed with this new knowledge, we have made some changes. And let’s just say, I intend to take this quiz every year.
