It is of immeasurable value to sit with 12 incredibly talented and thoughtful business owners and have them provide unbiased advice, while challenging and encouraging you. I don't have many people at work or in my life who can do that for me, and that is why I have been with the group for so long.
Mark is one of the smartest people you’ll ever meet. He’s genius level. He sees every person’s individual issues and brings them out in a very constructive way. He pairs that with tough love, so you don’t cheat yourself. Mark helps us to have clarity on where we want to go and the tools to make that crystal clear to our team, so we can achieve a common goal.
There is a deep level of trust, respect, and caring in the group that allows frank exchange to happen. CEOs aren’t held accountable often. The group is courageous in calling each other out and giving direct feedback.
One of the biggest differentiators with Voltage is the ability to bring our people to the Speaker Sessions. We have implemented a new Lean Process and Accountability System as a direct result of our people being able to hear the speakers on these topics. Invaluable.
Our Service Division was not growing, so Mark started to work with the sales team, and we put our new manager in the C-Level Executive Group. After these two moves, we experienced hockey stick growth. While many factors contributed, Voltage’s impact was an undeniably huge factor.
We obtained an ‘above industry’ valuation because our business was not dependent completely on our Owner. Voltage’s commitment to grow not just our CEO, but the entire Management Team enabled us to avoid the ‘Founder’s Trap’ and build not just revenue, but true organizational value.
