“Some years ago,
while putting together a business plan, I contacted Milo Smith for assistance
with building a plan that made financial sense.
As a result of Milo’s efforts I successfully produced a plan that
became the foundation upon which the company was launched and operated.
His work was comprehensive, easily understood and well presented.
His counsel during this start-up phase was extremely useful and the
company got off to a quick and efficient start as a result of his efforts.”

I
have asked Milo on several occasions to provide me with an honest appraisal of
the strengths and weaknesses of companies that are ready to embark upon a
financial turnaround. He is always fast to respond and quickly, yet thoroughly,
assesses the situation at hand. I have been consistently impressed with his
ability to identify long term and short term needs, and provide a realistic
assessment to both management and me.

We contracted with M.D. Smith & Associates to
help us plan for our growth as we were enjoying success in our business.
As with most businesses the growth causes a need for review and
evaluation as to where you are, where you plan on going and what are you going
to be when you get there! As
entrepreneurs we have a tendency to move forward wondering if we have the right
staff, with the needed qualifications and business knowledge.
Can our organization meet the challenges?
We have always been concerned using consultants as
the story goes, they tell you what they think you want to hear. M.D. Smith is a consultant with a different approach. He
brings a wealth of knowledge in business processes and departmental
relationships. Milo told us what we NEEDED to hear not what we necessarily
wanted to hear.
Our business has continued to grow and be successful
due to his insight and guidance. We
will probably need his services in the future to help us plan an exit strategy
for retirement.

I want to thank you for the “express” service you gave
me recently with the Statistical Abstract material we have been working on
together.
It occurred to me that I haven’t taken the time to thank
you for all of the great work you have performed for us over the past year.
Your work on the complex business plan and matrix for the Pinkerton
project was outstanding and it looks now like we have broken through with your
help. Your presentation and
analytical skills are exceptional.
In your work with other clients, should you want to use me
as a reference I would be more than happy to provide information regarding your
work.

since it was delivered to us several years ago. We definitely recommend his
services and plan to engage him for the next business opportunity.
