TESTIMONIALS

"Bob worked with our executive team at RTP to assess our overall strengths and weaknesses and then develop a strategic business plan with specfic goals, objectives, and actionable work plans. His deep, practical, and proven experience, particularly with technology businesses was invaluable. I would highly recommend him for similar engagements."
   -- Charlie L'Esperance, CEO, Resort Technology Partners

"Right out of the gate, Bob was able to quickly assess our situation and identify ways to increase revenue.  After working with Bob for only 8 hours, we identified a way to at least quintuple our lead generation and also improve our sales pipeline management and revenue potential.  We are also implementing many of his ideas to improve our sales closing rates and are more clearly focused on the path to building a successful business. "

"In just 2 hours of consultation, Bob Norton helped me to re-focus my thoughts, especially with regard to financing strategy.  In addition, there were several nuggets of wisdom and insight about bootstrapping, competitive intelligence, and market research. I highly recommend him."
       --   Nijan Datar, Founder and CEO  Smart Voice

"The best CEOs require 8 weeks to get up to speed on a new company and market. Bob did it in less than six weeks so our portfolio company could be repositioned quickly and effectively."
