Doug Brown – Chairman / CEO
Paradigm Associates LLC:
“Mark, This is a quick note to let you know that the exercise you facilitated on creating an uncommon competitive advantage has created footprints in the sand. Like you predicted, this exercise is something that you can come back to time and again over a period of months to revisit the purpose of your work. I have been working closely with one of my staff to refine his focus over a six month period. Last week, he closed a significant piece of business that reflected his renewed focus almost to a “T”. I have also been working with others in my organization to refine their thought process as well. The clarity that can come from this is pretty amazing when a deep dive in undertaken. Mark, thanks so much for sharing your approach and insights. It is really working for Paradigm Associates!
Nicki S. Iacono – VP, Quality & Data Management Systems:
“I engaged Mark Green with the expectation of improving my management skills, but I achieved so much more than that! After years of struggling with conflicting business and personal priorities, Mark has helped me to better balance my day, reduce my stress level, and achieve my goals. His ability to connect personally and professionally, and to communicate a strategy for ongoing improvement was essential to the process, but the real success came from teaching me the skills necessary to sustain this approach independently for a lifetime. Mark has both inspired and empowered me!”
Darren Magarro – Founder and President
The DSM Group:
“Working with Mark Green allowed me to turn the ‘ideas in my head’ into a concise, executable business plan. Since working with Mark; The DSM Group’s sales have jumped over 700% from 2007 to 2008. We just leased new office space and our client list jumped from 8 to 30 clients in just over a year.”
Joel Cohen, Esq., Managing Member
Flanzbaum & Cohen, LLC – Attorneys at Law:
“Mark Green has been a valuable resource to our management team. He has helped us develop and focus on issues and implement strategies that have clarified our mission, values and management strategy. We are now more efficiently and effectively making our way through the forest while still paying attention to the individual trees. Thank you, Mark.”
Mark Ciapka – Partner
Applied Dynamic Solutions LLC:
“Mark Green transformed us from overworked employees to capable business owners. We were too busy working to run our company, and as a result, the company was running itself – and worse yet, it was running us! Mark put us back in the driver’s seat by helping us create our strategy and a realistic operating plan, and then by developing us to be much more effective in managing ourselves and running the business. The results speak for themselves: during the first quarter of 2006, we doubled our financial performance from the prior quarter without any sacrifice in our personal lives.”
Lane Cooper – Founder and Principal
BizTechReports.com:
“I have been in business as an independent consultant and writer for over 15 years and availed myself of Mark Green’s services in 2008 to revisit assumptions and plan for a market that I knew was going to go through significant changes. Mark took us through a rigorous situation analysis and business planning process that ripped through the clutter and white noise of our day-to-day. He provided a crystal clear view of realistic opportunities, potential threats and go-to-market options.
I’ve benefited in three important ways – any one of which would have clearly justified my investment:
* I identified new, profitable opportunities and conceived innovative ways of exploiting them;
* I clarified several important areas of risk that I am now working to mitigate;
* I learned how to apply the processes that Mark taught me to continuously improve and hone my services as market conditions evolve.My work with Mark is one of the very best investments of time and money I have ever made as an entrepreneur.”
Scott Rappoport – President

We now work with a very clear set of goals in mind with specific action plans and accountability clearly defined. Your work with me in the execution phase has helped me to remain focused and to use the strategic plan as a guiding force in decision making.
