Mobile App Development Review from Domenic Fraboni
We couldn't be more pleased with our experience with TouchZen. They took over a bad situation left behind by our previous development team and have been able to continue to build new features while cleaning up the old project. We have been very pleased with their developers responsiveness as well as the project management. I would highly recommend working with them for any of your web or mobile app development needs.

Mobile App Development Review from Dr Asa Frey
They worked on our app and continue to work on it to this day. We originally had a bad experience with various developers and ended up with a bunch of code and no functioning app - touchzen took the code and audited it and made it work and it work great now. Can't complain - still going to work with them and I would recommend to anyone who wants it done right.

Blunt David's Review Sourced from Google
I had the pleasure of working with Debut Infotech for DeFi development, and I am extremely satisfied with their expertise and service. Their team utilized a comprehensive suite of tools, including smart contract generators, DeFi protocol integrators, and liquidity pool management tools, all of which streamlined the development process. They not only helped us build secure and scalable decentralized finance solutions, but also provided automated yield farming and staking platforms that significantly boosted user engagement. Their focus on security, with built-in auditing tools, gave me confidence throughout the project. I highly recommend Debut Infotech to anyone looking for reliable, efficient, and innovative DeFi development.

Melissa Janowski's Review Sourced from Google
The Kanthal Group provided outstanding leadership coaching for two of our new leaders. Their approach was organized, direct, and highly effective, while also being supportive and encouraging throughout the process. They took the time to understand our goals and tailored their coaching to meet the specific needs of each leader.What stood out most was how easy they were to work with. Darren and Rachel are professional, responsive, and focused on delivering meaningful results. The coaching helped build confidence, strengthen leadership skills, and accelerate development. I would highly recommend The Kanthal Group to any organization looking to invest in leadership growth and development.

Mark LaFleur's Review Sourced from Google
I initially reached out to Rachel during a season when my business felt stuck, and I needed clarity and direction. What I found was so much more than business coaching. Rachel helped me tap into my own instincts, strengths, and creativity in a way I hadn’t experienced before.She’s honest and direct, but in a way that feels empowering rather than critical. Her ability to challenge limiting thinking while still making you feel supported is a rare gift.Since working with her, I’ve uncovered multiple business ideas and possibilities that I genuinely didn’t know were in me. More than anything, she’s helped reignite my motivation, confidence, and hope for what’s possible in both my business and my life. I’m incredibly thankful for her guidance and support.

Allen Kozel's Review Sourced from Google
I can’t say it enough if you have ever considered getting a coach I highly recommend Rachel. She is a fantastic coach. When we first started working together I wasn’t really sure where to begin. I recall our first conversation and just throwing a lot of thoughts out there. She helped dig in and reframe the underlying situation and goal. Each call was the same. She would ask so what do you wanted to be coached on today, I would say I really don’t know here are the items on my mind and by the end of the call I was like wow I didn’t know which direction I should go in but she knew exactly where I needed you be. I left every calling feeling 10x more confident in where I was, where I was headed, and what I needed to do to get there. She is an invaluable resource! Again I highly recommend!

# Big Fish PR Review**Holy crap, where do I even start with Big Fish PR.**As VP of Her ALS Story, I’ve been around the block with agencies, and let me tell you - what Big Fish did for our Warrior Weekend was absolutely unreal.These people are MAGIC. Like, I’m not even exaggerating. When we first talked to them about the Warrior Weekend, I could tell they immediately understood what we were trying to do. This isn’t just another event for us - it’s about bringing together warriors in the ALS fight and giving them a space to connect, heal, and find strength. And Big Fish? They got that from minute one.The media coverage they landed for us was insane. We’re talking major publications - the kind of outlets that usually don’t give smaller nonprofits the time of day. But somehow Big Fish made our story irresistible to them. Every pitch felt strategic, every story placement felt meaningful. They didn’t just spray and pray with press releases. They crafted our narrative in a way that made editors actually care.What blew me away was how they made our Warrior Weekend feel like THE event everyone needed to know about. The buzz they created wasn’t just noise - it was the right kind of attention that brought in the right people and resources.But here’s the thing that really got me: they never made it feel transactional. Every conversation, every strategy session, every brainstorm felt like we were working with people who genuinely gave a damn about our mission. They celebrated our wins like they were their own family’s wins.If you’re looking for a PR team that will fight for your cause like it’s their own, call Big Fish immediately. Don’t walk, RUN. These people are the real deal, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.**Trust me on this one.

I’ve been building brands for 15 years and have worked with many PR partners, but none have impressed me like BIG FISH. Their strategy, communication, processes, and talent for building relationships with publishers and media is unmatched. In just a few months, they landed major placements for Adoorn in Architectural Digest, Oprah, and Real Simple. Highly recommend!

Working with this digital marketing agency has been nothing short of exceptional. From the very beginning, their team demonstrated a deep understanding of our goals and crafted a strategy that felt both tailored and forward-thinking. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, creativity, and a genuine commitment to delivering results.What truly sets them apart is their ability to combine data-driven insights with innovative ideas. Our online presence has grown significantly, engagement has soared, and we’ve seen measurable improvements in conversions and brand visibility. They don’t just execute campaigns—they continuously optimize, refine, and push for better outcomes.Communication has been seamless throughout. The team is responsive, transparent, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure clarity and success. It’s rare to find a partner that feels like an extension of your own team, but that’s exactly what they’ve become for us.If you’re looking for a digital marketing partner that is reliable, strategic, and truly invested in your success, this is the company to choose. Highly recommended.

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.

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.
