White River Consulting is a small, selective, business consulting company focused on small to medium-sized businesses. We believe that growing and operating your business should not be complicated. We strive to simplify the process through transparency and honesty.
Every business, no matter the size or location, deserves to be treated with respect. We are a small business ourselves, and we understand that most consultants and digital marketing companies view small and medium-sized businesses as "fresh meat" rather than equals. At White River Consulting, we dedicate our efforts towards empowering our clients--not subjugating them to condescendingly hiding the ball.
The main way that we separate ourselves is that we have actually been through the exact same process as most of our clients. We have been where our clients are, and we have a long memory.
White River Consulting is not driven by recurring payments. Instead, we try to assist where we can, and refer or decline where we can't. We are the people in the room with a little gray hair, and a few bad choices, and we want our clients to avoid the pitfalls that we have experienced.
Here are the other ways we are different:
Business consulting is usually noisy and disruptive. White River Consulting takes a different stance. We make solving problems collaborative and empowering. We never leave you high and dry.
No long-term contracts, no up-selling, and no commissions to shady affiliates. Our goal is to help our clients succeed.
Business consultants and marketing agencies rely on long-term contracts and behind-the-scenes tactics to get the job done. Our clients get “Behind the curtain,” to see how the sausage is made. We will never suggest a course of action that our clients do not fully understand.
We don’t want monthly credit card payments–we want to drive Growth.
White River Consulting works with your current marketing agency or internal marketing professionals. We never insert ourselves into your current process, we just try to make it sharper.
White River works WITH your team–we don’t try to replace them. This makes sense because nobody knows your business better than you and your team.
White River Consulting is a small management consulting operation aimed at preventing other small businesses, from doctors to lawyers, service companies to manufacturers, from falling into the traps that befall all business owners. It’s that simple. We were victims to the current digital marketing machine, and we want to make sure no other business has to learn the hard way.
Our team has a vast amount of experience to call on in providing counseling and consulting services to our clients. We firmly believe that competent and reasonable guidance should be a cornerstone of all businesses. No client should EVER hesitate in calling a consultant in order to avoid unreasonable rates.
White River Consulting provides a diversified portfolio of consulting services to clients in a variety of areas–-however the focus remains squarely on small to medium sized businesses across the country.
White River Consulting does not take on clients because we have to, but because we want to.
Consequently, we only work with a select group of businesses whose goals and present situation provide an opportunity to add value. The vast majority of our clients are referrals–and this is our primary form of marketing. You won’t see White River Consulting on a billboard.
If you are interested in harnessing your internal talent, or simply need some new ideas to move the needle, feel free to reach out.
Running a small to medium sized law firm is difficult. White River Consulting was born out of the process that founder Ryan Bradley faced in taking over the marketing of his own practice in in Champaign, Illinois.
Over the last 15 years, Ryan and his firm have experienced almost every major Legal Marketing provider in the space, and have developed effective and economically responsible tactics for competing in a difficult market.
Our team works directly with both the decision-makers for each firm, as well as the folks who are responsible for implementing tactics.
With a basis in law and finance, White River Consulting has a unique perspective with respect to advising businesses focused on providing a professional service. At the end of the day, all professional service business is about sales.
The fundamental processes and approaches that provide success in operating and marketing a small to medium-sized service business carry over across all industries. This applies to financial services and medical practices alike.
Selling a product is an art rather than a science. Most marketing agencies and business cunsultants claim to have a background in retail and sales, yet most tend to belive that selling is the same--no matter what the product.
At White River Consulting, we stick with what we know. That is watches, high-end men's apperal, and other unique sports and luxury goods. We love this stuff as much as you do, and we are here to help.
Our team at White River Consulting has a diverse background. While other business consultants are focused purely on "metrics," "AI," and digital efforts, the team at White River has actually cut their teeth in the trenches of the hospitality and sports industry.
We have run golf clubs and tennis clubs-- (and yes, we know Pickelball too) and are ready to make an impact with your team. We do NOT want to run your business for you--we just want to help you run it better.
Are you a small to medium sized business looking for some honest and practical guidance or Association looking for a truly unique speaker? Drop us a line to see if we can help.
You Run Your Business with Integrity--Shouldn't Your Advisors do the same?
White River Consulting is not in the business of beating dead horses. We are in the business of betting on the right jockeys. If you are even here reading this, you have at least admitted to yourself that you may need a little help...and that is all we care about. The only person in the world who can run your business is you, we just want to help you get there.
We strive to tell the truth and deliver value. We are not in the business of providing services that our clients do not need. We are also not in the business of stroking egos. If you are killing it, we will tell you you are killing it--if not, we will tell you how to start killing it.
No affiliate BS, no monthly contracts, and no unnecessary services. We win when our clients win.
We do not bill hours at White River Consulting, however, we are there for the long haul. You get cell phone numbers as well as 100% dedication to the long-term success of your business. We find that flat-fee engagements lead to more open communication.
Our initial engagement may end, but our obsessive drive to help you succeed never goes away.
Here's the thing, White River may not be a good fit for your company. The difference between us and other consultants is that we belive it is up to us to figure this out.
We will never leave you hanging when we don't think we can help. If we can--we will give you a proposal. If we can't we won't take your money, and we will send you to folks who can help. (We refer most clients, and we do not collect a penny from doing so.)
