THE CHALLENGE

Sound familiar?

"Our competitors use modern technology—we're still running on spreadsheets and phone calls."

"We've invested in software before but nobody uses it because it doesn't fit how we actually work."

"Our younger employees want modern tools, but our senior team is comfortable with the old ways."

"Customers expect digital service now, but we're known for personal relationships—how do we do both?"

"We tried digital transformation consultants, but their recommendations ignored our industry realities."

"We can't afford a multi-year, multi-million dollar tech overhaul like big corporations do."
