Top 50 Leading Innovative Companies of the Year - 2017
- We love innovation! We are always working with teams to develop & execute new ideas that grow their business.
-
Why do I need a consultant?As an entrepreneur, it's nearly impossible to do everything yourself, and if you are, you probably aren't doing things properly due to a lack of time, skill, or a combination of both! Our team has the time and experience needed to help you strategize & execute your goals, so you can spend more time driving your business' vision forward.
-
What if I already have a mentor?That's great! We encourage all of our clients & members to have multiple mentors! The more people you surround yourself with as an entrepreneur the better. Where our company differs is that we won't just talk you through a strategy, we'll actually execute it with you, and continually track results. If you want your strategies to succeed over time, having a dedicated & experienced team like Amplify is a must!
-
Why wouldn't I just hire interns or employees?As a startup, it is extremely important to keep your costs low, and your return on investment high. Employees are oftentimes the largest cost for any business, and unless you find someone with the right skills, experience, and ability to adapt, they may become more of a liability than anything. Working with Amplify gives your business a flexible and cost-effetive team to help you scale efficiently.
-
What's the cost?Being entrepreneurs ourselves, we know that budgets can be tight, and equity is important! That's why we work with our clients to find the best cost-structure for everyone. Whether it's a monthly commission, a retainer fee, or a one-time project payment, we find a flexible solution that will benefit everyone!
