IMPACT Reviews & Testimonials
Mike Ritzema Review from Google
5.0★
Mike Ritzema's Review Sourced from Google
Before working with IMPACT, we were stuck trying to make marketing work on our own. I had read They Ask, You Answer (the previous version of Endless Customers) and believed in the principles, but doing it DIY wasn’t producing results. We were writing articles here and there, posting inconsistently, and missing clear calls to action. The content wasn’t building trust or generating the kind of sales opportunities we needed.That changed when we made the decision to get a coach. Working with IMPACT’s coaching team gave us the structure, accountability, and clarity that had been missing. They helped us understand how to create content that earns trust with potential buyers, draws them in, and positions us as the most preferred option they are considering. We learned how to align each piece of content with the buyer’s journey and give every article a purpose.The results have been measurable. In just one year, our website traffic grew by 18% at a time when many companies are seeing declines. More importantly, our sales opportunities nearly tripled and grew even more when we only count qualified trucking companies. That growth allowed us to hire a salesperson for the first time in four years, which freed our content manager to focus fully on building quality articles, videos, and new tools.The experience of working with IMPACT has been excellent. The coaching team brings accountability and guidance without overwhelming us. The conferences and community have also been a big part of our journey, giving us ideas, tools, and connections that make implementation easier.I would recommend IMPACT to any business that wants to stop guessing at marketing and start building trust that translates into real sales opportunities.

I've been doing inbound marketing since 2010 and I can say that Impact is one of, if not the best, inbound marketing agencies in the country. They're great people that are highly skilled at their craft. I would recommend them to anyone with aggressive growth goals. Impact delivers great results and their team is as kind as they are smart.

We started working with Blueclone after trying a few other Managed IT Service Providers (MSPs) in the greater Philadelphia area, and we are so pleased with our decision to partner with Blueclone.From the moment we switched, we noticed an improvement in IT services, both day-to-day Help Desk support, as well as strategic business guidance—something that was lacking with previous providers.Ultimately, Blueclone has made our business operations more efficient, secure, and reliable while offering predictable monthly costs that are worth every dollar. As a small business, this is invaluable.I would highly recommend BlueClone as a trusted IT Support partner.

Blueclone crew saved my business swiftly in a last minute reach out. One of my employees computer was hacked and with BlueClone on the line, we were able to recover accounts and most importantly developed a clear security protocol for my teams moving forward. We feel so much more secure and I highly recommend small businesses to seek and review the security measures they have in place. BlueClone team members were so fast and approachable in helping me. What was an emergency turned into a great learning opportunity for my company. So glad I found them!

John Mehner's Review Sourced from Google
Coretech has been an extremely valuable partner for the last 6 years. We started by re-writing our entire web application at the time - they were on-time, on-budget, and had a very strong team to help with the implementation. Since then we continue to use them as an extension of our team for enhancements, new features, bug fixes and the rest. Their wisdom and understanding of choosing the right approach and technologies has been invaluable. Honestly can't speak highly enough about the team, thank you Gil and team!

Risa Hubble's Review Sourced from Google
The team at Coretechs is phenomenal. We needed to transition our custom app and databases to a new developer rather quickly due to an unexpected discontinuation of service. Coretechs handled all of the details and made the transition absolutely seamless. They communicated their progress and timelines the entire time. Since then I've had them do some modifications to our app, which they turned around right away. Everyone I've talked to there is super friendly and super knowledgeable. I'm looking forward to working with them on future improvements.

Crystal Frager's Review Sourced from Google
EvolveUp is a fantastic HR consulting firm in Austin, TX with deep expertise across a wide range of HR, recruiting, workforce and people operations. What really stood out to me was their implementation knowledge across ATS, HRIS, HCM, LMS and resource management platforms. They don’t just provide high level advice. They understand how the systems actually work and how to select and implement them effectively within a business. Their guidance on where and how AI can be applied within different platforms was also incredibly valuable. If you are looking for a partner who understands HR technology, strategy, and execution, EvolveUp is a great choice.

I think EvolveUp should be your team if you’re in need of workforce optimization services. There are no cookie-cutter strategies here. They actually take the time to learn about your problems/goals and implement a custom strategy for you. Would highly recommend them.
Grant McCasland Review from Google

Grant McCasland's Review Sourced from Google
EvolveUp has a great team of consultants that can handle fractional HR work, but where they really shine is their workforce consulting and HCM implementation work. They're professional and detail-oriented, which is what you want in a team handling your people operations. A little more boutique than your standard consulting firm, but more specialized.

According to Mordor Intelligence, operations consulting held 29.28% of the global consulting market share in 2024, while technology advisory is forecast to grow at a 6.48% CAGR through 2030.Â
How much do business consulting services in the US cost?
Business consulting fees vary based on experience level, firm size, and project complexity. General management consulting hourly rates range from $75 for less experienced consultants to $175-$325 for those with 15+ years of experience.
According to Consulting Success's 2023 survey of nearly 1,000 consultants, 29% of consultants use hourly rates as their primary pricing model. McKinsey senior partners charge $1,193.57 per hour according to the 2024 General Services Administration federal supply lists, while engagement managers cost $834.40 per hour.
Common pricing models include:

According to Mordor Intelligence, large enterprises accounted for 71.29%Â of 2024 consulting spend, yet small and medium-sized enterprises are projected to record the fastest growth at 7.04% CAGR through 2030, driven by fractional consulting models and subscription-based advisory.Â
How long do business consulting projects usually take?
Project timelines vary significantly based on scope, complexity, and organizational readiness.Â
Quick diagnostic assessments and targeted analyses typically take 2-6 weeks.
Standard strategy development, operational improvement, or organizational design projects generally require 2-4 months.
Large-scale transformation initiatives, including digital transformation, M&A integration, or enterprise-wide change programs, often span 6-18 months or longer.
According to McKinsey research, only 30% of transformation efforts succeed overall, with digital transformations being even more challenging, often requiring sustained commitment over multiple years.
What is the typical consulting process?
Most consulting engagements follow a structured methodology designed to ensure thorough analysis and actionable outcomes.
The typical process includes:
Discovery and analysis: Understanding your business context, gathering data, conducting stakeholder interviews, and diagnosing root causes
Strategy development: Synthesizing findings, developing options, and creating strategic recommendations aligned with your objectives
Recommendations presentation: Delivering insights and proposed solutions with supporting rationale and expected outcomes
Implementation support: Assisting with execution, change management, and overcoming organizational barriers
Performance review: Measuring results against objectives, refining approaches, and ensuring sustainable impact
According to Consulting Success, 51% of consultants using value-based fees have an average project value of $10,000 or more, compared to 39% of consultants using hourly fees.
