"I was fortunate to be able to work with Cliff in his role as a Strategic Consultant for our company. Cliff was a great asset on many projects in my department, from new website rollout, new product creation/rollout, product pricing strategy to Sales department reorganization. Cliff is extremely helpful in thinking of every task that needs to be covered no matter what the project involves. Things that I, nor others in the organization, would have thought of otherwise and also breaking down those tasks into steps in order to reach the goal of project completion. Cliff also participated in some trainings at our National Sales meeting. All of our Sales reps always enjoyed and benefited from what Cliff had to say. If you have a problem or project and need someone to come in and put a strategic plan together, then Cliff is the perfect person for that job. I definitely benefited from the time I was able to work closely with Cliff and would welcome his insight on any future project I have."

"I have worked with Cliff for over 15 years as a colleague and, more recently, as a client. When I heard that Cliff was working in a strategic advisory role, I was eager to hire him because Cliff is one of the smartest people I know. He asks insightful questions and has outstanding listening skills. He can take a complex problem and develop clear and understandable solutions. Cliff also has the ability to build consensus across teams, keep projects on track, and deliver results. Most recently Cliff helped me review data on some price testing and developed a method for analyzing the results that gave us the confidence we needed to move forward with a price increase. Not only is Cliff smart, but he has a fantastic sense of humor and is fun to work with. I would recommend Cliff to any organization looking for a sharp mind that can provide insight, analysis and results."
