I told Jeff and Ken three years ago that my #1 goal was to "have a life outside of my business." This has been achieved and my family and I are grateful for this. We are a happier family than we have been in quite some time and I can't thank you enough for your part in that.   Read more...

I wanted to provide an update on our progress and recent activities. I have been pushing really hard to generate more business and continue to foster the changing focus (sales vs. production) within the company. Overall, I think that we have been very successful doing so. All teams and employees are operating mostly independent as we have truly given them the keys and clearly laid out the plan. We have been fully committed to providing them tools they need to be successful within their positions and professions... all the while, making the company bigger, better and more profitable. Within the company everyone understands and feels a sense of pride knowing that they are accountable to themselves first, their teammates second and the company third. Even if the money didn't pile in during 2009, at least we revived our company to become a functioning organization, where people have opportunity and our service to the community is honest and appropriate. It's a beautiful thing!!! Thank you for showing us the light!!!  Read more...

I want to take a moment and thank you, Phil Jr., Ken Tucker and David Ellings. All of you have been a pleasure to meet and talk with over these years. Phil, I want to thank you for pairing us up with David. He has been a good fit for us. K David was able to make a connection with Kelly which allowed us to move and grow our company using the building blocks that Business Mentors has developed.
 
Although, I know Business Mentors is first and foremost a company for profit, I admire you for the vision and passion that you bring to companies like ours, in the restoration field. I have looked at numerous mentoring companies prior to going with Business Mentors and I feel I made the best choice. Everyone there was or still is connected to the Restoration Industry and the knowledge you provide is pertinent and invaluable. You have brought my company a long way in a short time and for that, I Thank You.

I bought this mid size restoration business 4 years ago, in the heart of twenty competitors.  I thought growing this business would be a breeze.  I also use to think there was nothing to owning and operating your own business.  I was so wrong.  Things took off in the beginning and it took all my energy and focus to make each job profitably.   Work started to slow and then I had time to examine the whole owning a business process.  The reports, paperwork, financials and employee needs were pulling me in every direction, except growing my company.  Read more...

The decision to hire Business Mentors was made a little over a year ago and was based in part on our ongoing process of merging two companies. Both companies had been involved in insurance restoration, one with cleaning and the other contracting. The merger was to create one, “Full Service Restoration Company”, out of two companies that had worked together for approximately 20 years in a contractor/subcontractor relationship. Other issues that contributed to the decision to hire Business mentors related to dwindling profits and increased demands for technical and marketing strategies in an ever-changing work environment.  Read more...

I am writing today to express my thanks and gratitude for your company and our relationship. As you are well aware, when we first hired Business Mentors we were struggling with a variety of issues related to our growth. The first was a lack of accountability and measurement of our staff. This was very frustrating to me both professionally and personally. I felt as though I was nothing but a grownup babysitter. Our workmanship was good and our people were technically competent but for some reason we were getting killed by the details. Read more...

Donna and I want you, Phil Jr., Ken, and Dave, to know how much we appreciate your care and guidance. Words alone can not express what Business Mentors has done for our company.  Our business growth was at a stand still. I knew we needed change, but I did not know how to take LDR to the next level. Once I got past the “fear” of some one else examining our business practices, I knew we needed Business Mentors. Read more...

"We decided to use the services of your company, Business Mentors. It was by far the best decision we have made in a long time. Business Mentors has brought so many things to the table that we cannot even begin to describe them all.

Basically we feel that we have brought several high level executives into our business that bring years of real world restoration and business experience. The systems we have received and are putting in place far surpass anything that could have been derived from some ongoing franchise investment. The honesty and candidness of the consultants has been eye opening. The overall sense of direction and established methods has been calming to all of our management and personnel."   Read more...

“I was exhausted and beaten by the school of hard knocks, but I have been reinvigorated by the true education I am receiving. In just 3 short months with Business Mentors my company has made an incredible turnaround. The best part is that Business Mentors has given me the tools and the vision to do it. You haven’t come in and “fixed” my business, you have shown me how to fix it. The only regret that I have is that I didn’t do it sooner!"   Read more...

“The suggestions that your team made were accurate and insightful, providing guidance and clarity when I needed them most. The Business Mentors team definitely knows “the business of doing business”. Following your guidance I was able to lead Cleanrite-Buildrite to its present eminently profitable and personally fulfilling state; not just the largest cleaning and restoration firm in the region but clearly the best. The commitment to service that the Business Mentors helped instill has left a lasting impact, one that I know my customers appreciate as well as I do."   Read more...

“I took the time to find out who Business Mentors was individually and corporately. I wanted to know who the people I was dealing with were. These results showed me the honesty that you will be dealt with, the vast successful industry knowledge you will learn from and if you follow their recommendation success would be inevitable.

Personally speaking, I have been mentored to better read and manage the business activities, the clients, and my employees. Even better, I have learned to keep above the line and to pickup the ball when it drops.”    Read more...

“We had been considering Business Mentors for quite a while. When we hit a slump we made the decision to go with them. We only wish we had not waited so long. Phil is very pleasant to work with and was well received by our employees. Morale and forward momentum has taken a big boost since his visit.”

They not only will improve your business, they will bring large benefits to you as a person. They provide a complete package that you can implement immediately and use years into the future.”

“For the last three years, I have been drowning in my business with no immediate sign of getting my head above water. Our ultimate goals and vision for our company seemed so unattainable until we hired Business Mentors. Through their experience, concern, and dedication to my company, I can finally breath again – Our business proved immediate success after the first week Business Mentors was employed. Not only are they knowledgeable motivators, they are great human beings.”

Warner Cruz

“I would like to take the opportunity to express my appreciation for the positive effect you have had on my company. Six months ago I was wondering where I was going, how I was going to get there and if it even was a viable option. In only a couple of visits I was convinced that I had made the right decision to employ Business Mentors.”

“…you were instrumental in providing the programs that were feasible and which have proven successful. This does not begin to tell about the positive effect it has had on CR’s team members and it’s culture. Everyone at CR plays a large part in it’s vision and buy into the positive future that can be enjoyed by all. One thing that stands out in our company now, is the emphasis on customer service. Comments by other companies help us to feel that we have something special here, and I know what it is – your contribution!”

"Once I realized or (became humble enough to admit) that I did not know everything about business. I hired someone who did. Business Mentors knows the restoration business and more importantly they know ‘the business, of business’.”

"Our company has experienced tremendous growth yet it had not been managed properly. A sincere thanks to the Rosebrooks for giving us direction and showing us what a successful business should resemble.
