"While working with The Vantage Group over the past five years, my company has grown an additional $2.5MM, we've established a national client base, and our net margin as a percent of revenue doubled. Their advice, sympathetic ear, external perspective, and occasional kick-in-the-pants has been a critical part of our success."

Our services and tools are helping companies strengthen teams, retain top talent and develop future leaders:

• Leadership Team Development: One company ran 120 people through the Dynamic Communications Process and had a 50% increase in employee satisfaction.
  
  
• Teamwork Training: Another family-owned business has successfully implemented our two-day strategic planning workshops for 3 years and has seen a steady revenue growth of 15% annually.
  
  
• Fast Track Tools: After implementing our Revenue Fast Track Program, a software company has seen 45% sales growth over two years and now has all new business come as a result of a website that followed the marketing action plan principles.
  
  
• Succession Management: With the CEO of a family owned business retiring in 5 years, Vantage has set up a coaching and mentoring program to prepare the next generation for leadership. This program is 3 years in the process and on schedule to meet the CEO's retirement goals.
  
  
• Family Business Management: Constant family conflict was interfering in the daily operations of a large family owned business. After helping them set up a family governance structure and restructuring the board of directors, family conflict was eliminated with the family working together for a common goal.
  
  
• Employee Retention Strategies: An organization had a 74% turnover in their sales force. After benchmarking and debriefing, they reduced that number to zero during the last 18 months.
  
  
• Improving Team Communication: A healthcare organization was experiencing over 85% turnover annually among the nursing staff in a particular department. The team was assessed for communication skills and the problem areas were quickly identified and corrected. Turnover was reduced to 5% in just 6 months after the changes were instituted.
  
  
• A service organization was losing 60% of all new hires during their first 60 days on the job. Using our assessment tools, they changed the hiring process resulting in no turnover for the last 60 days.
