WHAT YOU DONT NEED IS ANOTHER CONSULTANT!

(Manchester, NH) -- July 15, 2002 - Management consultant...business consultant...business plan consultant...ecommerce consultant; the list goes on and on. Quite a while ago, it became obvious that small companies, and especially start-ups, needed expert help. As a result, a whole industry was spawned -- Consulting. Anyone that was an expert in any business was recruited to become a consultant. And when all the experienced experts were taken, they started recruiting the best and the brightest" right out of college. What difference did it make if they had never actually done anything; they had all the theories.

Today, if you need help on just about any business subject, you can find it -- just enter the topic into your search engine. Pretty quickly, youll have all the solutions you need (some of them contradictory). But somehow, things still arent running smoothly. What you dont need right now is another Consultant" spouting theories and borrowing your watch to tell you what time it is". What you do need is someone who will listen to your ideas and guide you, using their many years of front-line experience...Someone who has truly been there, done that" -- recently. What you need is a mentor. That is why Mission Associates developed the Power Mentoring" concept.
When I was starting out, I was fortunate enough to have what we then called a rabbi." recalls founder Ed Costello. Today, that wouldnt be considered politically correct. So mentor is a better term."

You may have gotten the impression that we dont like consultants. Thats not the case at all. There are thousands of them out there, many of them very good at what they do. If you need specialists in Finance or Marketing or putting together a Business Plan, there are many consultants that can help you (I can even recommend a few)."

However, Mission Associates doesnt do any of that...Although weve done all of that in real-world P&L situations. What we do with the Power Mentoring" concept is provide a sounding board for the client. We provide someone they can bounce ideas off; someone they can go to for advice or someone that can speak to their investors/board-of-directors on their behalf...someone they feel they can trust to just talk to"

Consultants dont offer guarantees...
But Mission Associates does. If, after 6 months, the client doesnt feel that our service has helped them run their business better...We will refund the fees they have paid us! If we dont help them improve their performance, our Mentor Guarantee will refund their money unconditionally.
