**What separates us from the rest?**

Every consultant is ICCI certified. Certification is portfolio-based, demonstrating industry defined competencies representing proven professional experience and expertise.

We are truly investors in our community. Our earnings are re-invested in the business and in our community, not sent to a corporate office out of state. We live, work and build relationships locally. Partners are never transferred from one office to another because we own our offices.

Our technology resources are provided to candidates AND clients

1. What is the length of each employee meeting? The length of each meeting that we provide with each employee is at least 60 minutes. Preparation time in always additional. Our competitors are doing 30 or 45 minutes with preparation time rounding out the 60 minutes that they promise.

2. How many actual meetings per month are conducted for each employee? We do at least four meetings a month minimum. Our competitors have cut it back to three.

3. Does each employee have a dedicated advisor who actually meets with him/her for every meeting. We assign each employee an advisor who has been selected to work with that individual based upon the needs and wants of that person. Our advisor meets with that employee every meeting and is available during evenings and weekends. Our competitors assign the first available advisor who is required to meet with the individual once, but is not for the rest of engagement. Employees who work with our competitors are pushed to rely on web-sites and group meetings, thereby minimizing individual face time with their assigned advisor and, thus, cost to deliver the program.

4. Is a dedicated advisor assigned for virtual/remote programs as well? Absolutely and always we do! Some of our competitors do not provide an advisor at all and others assign an advisor who works with the individual for only one meeting.

5. Are on-site employee orientation meetings provided at no additional cost? These are included in our prices. Our competitors often either do not provide them or charge extra for these services.
