Joe’s BBQ Boats
“We knew we had a great idea with Joe’s BBQ Boats, but in hindsight there was a lot to consider in bringing it to market successfully. As a partner when we needed them, Dan Karasz Consulting Group took us through the start-up obstacles, offered guidance on the many decisions we had to make, and prepared us for the hurdles before we knew what they were. Assessing the risks, they both encouraged and structured the development of a franchise model to give us first mover advantage in the marketplace, thereby protecting all our hard work and securing us a viable business for the long run.”

“While we knew we had some business issues, we were a bit leery about the value a consultant would bring, and we really didn’t know where to start. There was much discussion before we hired them to assess our business operations, and they were very patient with us through that process. It was not until they completed the business assessment that we saw the real worth, as they found many holes in our operational processes, and helped us devise non-industry standard benchmarks to measure our operational performance, customer service experience, and manage our future growth. Without a doubt, we will continue to use and rely on their expertise as a partner going forward.”

“Strategically guiding the business operations of franchisees that strongly value their independence can be a tricky slope to maneuver. It can involve thoroughly assessing businesses that may not be a totally willing participant. I worked with Dan personally as he assessed the operations of multiple stores. Dan was exceptional at working within this framework, and building shareholder alignment quickly to be able to communicate necessary changes that was readily adopted and would therefore facilitate change. He brought commitment, subject matter expertise to a host of different types of problems, and strategically guided the business development of many of our dealers successfully. I am certain that many of our stores would highly recommend him as well.”

“I have personally attended many of the facilitated classroom training sessions and can easily say that attendees would suggest they are far superior than their competitors. Even when delivering O.E. Manufacturer developed content, whether the subject is Sales Training, or Parts Inventory Management, strong business and academic acumen allow for off-slide interactive business discussions that create tremendous learning value for the target audience. I have also learned to trust their judgment in developing training material. Their outside industry sector experience in assessing business needs, helped me to realize that the automotive sector is very limited in their understanding of training content scope. The industry tends to be skill training oriented, rather than business training oriented, and that’s a key performance difference offered. Having worked with several automotive manufacturers, I would strongly recommend Dan Karasz Consulting Group as a training development firm above all the sector competitors…”
