“David was amazing to work with and his energy level with delving deeply into business issues was difficult for me to keep up with at times, but he was always willing to slow down to ensure that I understood the concepts before we moved on. He is passionate about helping businesses grow and reap the benefits of targeted change. His concept of “blood wall” helps to break down ideas into their simpler format, identify what the impacts will be on both operations and costs, and then to identify whether the benefits outweigh the sacrifices. I would highly recommend David to any leader who wants to take their company to the next level, but has been struggling. He will dissect the challenges and put them back together in a form that will be easy to implement without any regrets. I wish I had met David 10 years ago!”.

“We started this whole process with extremely high hopes that we would be able to realize our goal of getting out of the day-to-day operations of our shop and away from the stress it created in our lives. Our business relied on my me and my wife for every decision or problem, and we had to be there just to ensure that production would continue throughout the day.
After one week of our consulting process with David, I was nervous about the overall program and wondered if David would be the guy to get us out of our mess. If not for my wonderful wife, Jessica urging me to continue with the process, I may have given up. Thankfully I did not!
David was able to quickly turn me around by helping me realize that our issues were not the underlying reasons I had thought.
I needed to change my thinking completely, and with David’s help I was able to do this. We really appreciate David’s willingness and ability to see the real issues and help us work through them. Thank you so much, David!”

“I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. David Gilpatrick for all of your business needs. During our time working together, David consistently demonstrated exceptional knowledge, unwavering integrity, and strong leadership skills. David has the innate ability to analyze complex business challenges, devise effective strategies, and implement solutions with a keen understanding of the overall big picture.
What truly sets David apart is his commitment to excellence, evident not only in his daily work and through his professional achievements, but also in his approach to fostering collaboration within the team. He has a rare blend of high ethical standards, business ingenuity, and dedication to each and every endeavor he takes on. I am sure that there is not a problem that your business faces, that he can’t find practical and sustainable solutions for. The tools that he will provide you will last a lifetime! You simply cannot afford NOT to hire him!”

“When I hired David to come help us, I was not prepared for the depth of learning, and challenges we would be discovering and implementing so quickly. After a couple of weeks, I mentioned that thus far it felt like I was on trial as a business owner! What I could not have anticipated was that was just the tip of the iceberg. I mentioned to David after just the first couple of days when he took over the project that it felt like I had gone back to the most intense difficult business college one could imagine.
As the weeks have flown past and I now see the depth of what David intended to teach me, I now see the reasoning behind the intensity of those first few days. I truly had no idea what to expect out of the process but I really had no way to know the depth of the service because you don’t know what you don’t know. This process has touched upon all of the following areas: Profitability, Management, Employee incentive program, the Paradigm shift from customer-centered to profit-centered as a business focus, Elevating customer care to our business vision mission to make room for profit as our organizing principle, The paradigm shift of moving employees from a cost center to an investment, my own personal behavioral patterns, speeding up the billing cycle, labor costs, Organizing management and staff meetings, Hiring personnel and firing personnel, Inventory control and automated order entry system, Time clock utilization and management, Credit card processing and so on.
Since David has arrived I have noticed an overall increase in efficiency and attentiveness by the staff from top to bottom…I’ve gotten to know David over the last few weeks and have admired the dedication and integrity in which he brings to the consulting process…David has become a true friend and confidant.”

“David only worked with a few days but we were very satisfied with what he was able to implement within those three days. Here is what we were able to accomplish with David’s help:
Offloaded phones responsibilities from James to free him up to be more efficient.
Suggested meetings weekly.
Showed the depth of the AR issues
Introduced the idea of keeping track of the numbers more frequently
Gave us a list of customers that have not used us yet this year to call
Provided an IRS 1099 letter that we hope will result in getting some of our past AR collections to pay”

“I wish to convey my sincere appreciation for David who proved to be impressive with his business help and advice. I appreciate his hands-on approach to diving into the financials and picking out all the areas or potential improvement. David spent most of his time getting me onboard with remote bookkeeping which I suspect to be a game-changer for my company. I also suspect it will free up much of my time. Through his construction experience, David was able to understand my business at a level that allowed us to identify and move quickly through other areas of concerns. His advice on finding “my why” and implementing it into my weekly meetings has taken my company in a great direction. I also feel better when we reached out to a couple of local banks. I plan on using those relationships to grow my company and become a larger part of my communities development.
I always look forward to my meetings with David to share our progress, and gain new insights from him as well.
