If you’re a business owner, you started your company because you had a unique way to solve an old problem, and your success shows it was also a better way. If you’re a senior manager, you were hired over all the other applicants because you had something unique to offer—a better way to do what the company had been doing.
A lot of consultants don’t get this. They hear a great theory or method in school and then, when they decide to consult, they put it into a PowerPoint. When Company A calls and says, “Our Widget production line seems to be moving too slowly,” or “Our front office just isn’t efficient,” they shuffle through their PowerPoint collection and say, “Widget speed. Got it,” or “Front office production—this will do.”
Typical PowerPoint Consultant
Then they show up in your office with their pre-packaged solution they’ve shown to dozens of other companies, never realizing your company is different from all the other companies out there because you are different. That’s what makes TML Business Services so different from other consulting firms.
You’ve seen the television commercial of the people who walk into the auto shop, make a silly noise, and get a diagnosis on the spot. That is what a consultant who shows a pre-made PowerPoint is like. At real auto shops, they tell you what it could be, based on their years of experience, but then they roll up their sleeves and look under the hood.
There is a lot of buzz these days about the need for consultants who roll up their sleeves and look under the hood. Lincoln Bittner does that. There are two things people always say about Lincoln Bittner—he’s practical and he’s good with people. Practical people don’t give a final diagnosis without looking under the hood. They don’t hand you theories—they offer solutions. They even offer to fix the car—the company—themselves if you want them to. They dare to do that because they can. People who are too fixated on theories often don’t actually know how to get their hands dirty and fix the problem. They just know how to hand you the repair manual.
You won’t get that when you hire TML Business Services and ask Lincoln to help you. When you hire him, you get a practical, common sense person who treats your company like the unique company it really is. He understands your methods and your staff make your company different from every other company and he will factor all that into his solutions. What good does it do to suggest a complex computer program for the front office if the staff is uncomfortable with technology? How can a tool that makes great widgets work for your company if your company budget is too small for it? (If that’s the problem, he can show you how to cut your costs so you can grow enough to afford it.)
If you want PowerPoints and generic solutions, any consultant will do. But if you want a unique solution perfectly tailored to your needs, your personality, your staff, and your budget…you need TML Business Services.
