Craig was fantastic even when I didn't need any of their services Craig gave me advice and helped me talk out plans over the phone when he had no need to

Highly recommend! From my first call with Ken, I knew I needed to work with this team. I had never seen another company offer an all round solution with setting up a business. I looked forward to my weekly zoom calls with Craig. He was charismatic, knowledgeable and realistic. We set weekly goals and i loved the accountability. His knowledge was EXTENSIVE! I had been running my dance business for a while and knew I needed to step up and get some tighter systems in place if I was going to expand. I became quicker at making big decisions with his help and recommendations, like becoming an LLC, choosing a tax accountant, trademarking the name and expanding. I've now expanded to two new locations internationally after only working with them 3 months! More...

We came to Chalifour Consulting because we needed to discuss our business and determine next steps in our business plan. Craig was very easy to work with and is very well rounded in his business knowledge. We were able to develop a strategy for next steps as well as an execution plan. Thanks for helping us out Craig!

First of all I would like to say a BIG THANK YOU for everything. I dont have the slightest clue about writing a business plan, and when I did my research and found your company (mind you I called a few other companies but didn't get a response) so I moved on and that first phone call made me feel so comfortable.
Thanks Ken for always reaching out to me even when I least expect it. For always following up and making sure everything is OK. Even when I needed changes to the plan, you worked with me every step and made sure in the end I was satisfied. In addition, thank you Craig for responding to my emails and explaining things to me that I didn't understand. Thank you for following up with me and making sure that I was satisfied.
Great group of people to work with and awesome company for all your business needs. They wrote a business plan for me which I am using now and the financial institutions are happy with the organization, thorough research and details of the plan. I will be using your service again.
Thank you from a Happy customer.

Ken and Craig at Chalifour Consulting are incredible to work with. They have been responsive, organized, thorough, and exceeded all of my expectations. They have helped take my business from a place of chaos to a place of increased organization and automation. What started as a business relationship has turned into a great friendship as I truly feel that they care about my business and my personal goals. Looking forward to continuing to work with them.

The best!! I worked with Craig and his team for my business plan and then for business consulting. The business plan was top notch! It gave me the ability to approach lenders with confidence, and pride. The best part is the time they spent with me reviewing it and answering all my questions. When I had a major shift in my business plan, they revised it and again spent time reviewing the changes with me. I am so glad I choose them to assist me in this pivotal step. I am referring everyone I know! More...

Chalifour Consulting did a wonderful job for me - their professionalism, creativity and follow-through was first rate.
My particular project was challenging, because I have a lot of experience in non-traditional sectors that did not readily translate to easy categorization.
Craig was patient and thorough, he spent a lot of time understanding who I was and in crafting a resume that reflects my diverse background, while making it easily digestible to potential employers. I got an excellent product.
I highly recommend this organization!

Knowledgeable, impactful, and a pleasure to work with. I came in with little business knowledge and experience. They basically guided me by the hand, took me step by step to, gave me a solid platform to run a successful business.
The advice and coaching Craig has given is extremely valuable and timeless.
I definitely would recommend them to anyone who needs business advice, coaching, who want to grow their business, improve their business, etc.

My husband and I were totally clueless as to where to start with a new business idea. I stumbled upon Chalifour Consulting and had a telephone consultation with Ken. He was quite knowledgeable, and explained the steps that are necessary to run a successful business. He was also patient and thorough with answering all my questions (on more than one occasion). My husband and I learned a lot from the sessions. After Ken explained the steps involved, my husband and I agreed to begin the process with the guidance of Chalifour Consulting. A couple days later we were introduced to Craig. He was just as knowledgeable, patient and professional as Ken. He used a collaborative approach to assist me and my husband with completing the first phase. (I really appreciated that approach). We have since completed the first phase and are pleased with the end product. Thank you Ken and Craig for making the beginning of our business venture such an easy, pleasant, informative and inspiring experience. We feel confident about our next phase in the journey. More...

Ken and his team have done a wonderful job helping me create my new business plan. I felt lost starting this process. With proper guidance and mentorship, I know exactly what I need and have the confidence to move forward. The best part is that my business plan came with a five year projection to include finances. I now know what to expect and how to handle any situation that should arise. More...

Working with Craig and his team has been immensely helpful as my time is valuable with respect to my business and that they are much more suited to many of the tasks that would otherwise lead me down too many rabbit holes and with a lot of loose ends.

Craig trained our staff to become more successful with our volume of sales and financial productivity. This was a continual weekly and monthly connection to continue to improve and be accountable for our numbers. Craig has excellent communication and training skills. He has a great personality, along with always being so willing and available to keep the process going smoothly. I personally have been a sales person in some capacity for 40 years. I can without hesitation say that Craig has most definitely increased my abilities. I will always give him credit for that.

What do you love most about your job?
We truly love what we do and business is our passion. We love helping businesses grow and become more profitable in a myriad of ways. Watching our partner clients grow over time is something that brings us great joy.
What inspired you to start your own business?
After about five years working as a consultant in the automotive industry ending as Vice President of Sales & Operations I decided to branch out to share my expertise with all people and businesses.
My business partner, Ken Chalifour, has owned and operate a full service marketing firm since 1995. While growing his clients businesses through marketing solutions he began to see a need for someone to manage his clients businesses growth.
Ken and I partnered up to improve our clients conditions combining the our unique backgrounds.
Why should our clients choose you?
We have no "cookie-cutter" customer that we work with. We specialize in process development which means we can provide solutions for sales, marketing, growth, supply chain, and even assist in hiring needs.
We have worked to develop proper sales processes, accounting processes, growth strategies, shipping solutions, and so much more. Our client base varies from individuals, small companies (1-10 employees), medium companies (11-100), and larger companies (100+ employees).
We truly care about the outcome of your business and we look to become long term partners with all of our clients. We focus on the relationship aspect first and have found that the money will follow.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
We can provide all of our services remotely. We are able to facilitate through a myriad of online applications including zoom, calendars, screen recording applications, phone, and email. We have become very comfortable working remotely with our clients and 90% of our clients are not within our state. We are also available to meet in person if the situation merits it.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We offer nearly all of our services remote. See the above question.
Discovery, Development, & Implementation
We do not have a one size fits all solution or approach to business consulting. Our proprietary Business Positioning System utilizes a three-prong approach: discovery, development, and implementation. The discovery phase allows us to fully understand and analyze a business before making any development and implementation decisions. This is what allows for a truly customized business solution to all of our clients. The development phase uses the entire discovery to complete a full plan and process custom fit to your business. This is a complete roadmap to guide your business to the objective and ultimate goals. Many of our clients choose to work with us monthly to implement the development phase of the three-prong approach. This not only ensures the highest level of business success but provides you with unfettered access to a full-service consulting team.
New Business Strategy & Guidance
Start-ups are a dime or dozen and 20% of small businesses fail in their first year. We work with you to ensure that you are a business that not only does not fail but thrives within its first year. We follow the same three prong approach as our Business Positioning System: discovery, development, and implementation. The three main pillars are formation, growth, and continuation. This includes business plans and everything in between.
Employee Training (All Levels)
We work with all levels of the organization starting with the executives to set company goals, visions, and missions to increase bottom lines and efficiencies. We provide help with in-depth sales coaching, encapsulating analysis, role-playing, implementing processes, refining processes, and monitoring progress.Most people leave their bosses not their job. One of the most crucial parts of an organization is mid-level management and their ability to communicate with their subordinates. We focus on a clear communication process, management styles, and conflict resolution to ensure successful relationships.
Business Coaching
Business coaching gives you peace of mind. It aligns us together so you have a trusted advisor to talk to and gain wisdom from.
There is almost nothing we have not encountered in business so take comfort in knowing that whatever your challenge or stumbling block is, we can help. Nothing we do is a one size fits all solution everything is individualized.
It’s important to note that we are in the relationship business and developing trust and confidence is of the utmost importance.
