CBS Reviews: Made Our Life Easier!
By 
Situation
A client with a company offering funeral products and services utilized his team at CBS Consulting to bring clarity to financial operations, modernize his business systems and processes, and provide mentoring and guidance to management.
Process
“Wow! What an experience!” From a CBS representative calling, “this began a chain of great educational events with some great new friends. CBS, thank you for sharing some of your best people with us.”
First, there was the CBS analyst, who “continues to be part of the growth mechanism from afar as he has helped me with answering questions about a couple competitors …
Lie, Cheat & Steal To Close A Sale?
By Ken DiPrima
Every salesperson, without exception, has been in situations where stretching the truth or omitting a crucial fact about the product or service being offered, seems to be the solution to closing the sale. Sales made under false pretenses, no matter how slight, will only result in a negative reflection on the salesperson and, more importantly, stain the reputation of the company.
It makes little difference how good are the products or services provided, if they differ even in the slightest from what was promised by the salesperson. People expect to receive exactly what they bargained for, not a quasi facsimile, …
CBS Reviews: Major Improvements Have Been Made
Situation
The client, a Solar Energy company owned by a man and his three sons, brought Corporate Business Solutions in, “because our dad wanted to retire and the three of us struggled to take over and run the business due to personal issues, etc. We were not making much headway, which made it impossible for our dad to retire. One of us needed to be in charge.” An exit strategy plan was needed!
Process
The CBS team worked to strengthen the existing management infrastructure, so that the current owner would be able to finally enjoy his retirement. “CBS helped us …
CBS Delivers Happiness With Toys For Tots!
A charity that receives a huge amount of support at Corporate Business Solutions is Toys For Tots (we had collection boxes in every department). Liza, once again, organized the donations with reminder emails and posters hung throughout our offices (she also collected cash from those employees who were too busy to shop and she hit the Black Friday sales for even more toys). Our employees responded with great generosity.
This little cutie stopped by the office to donate toys for Toys For Tots
(she’s clearly on Santa’s good list!).
CBS Reviews: Much Needed Guidance
Situation
After experiencing rapid growth, the focus for this Corporate Business Solutions’ client, a fuel storage and delivery system supplier, was on increasing sales and profitability as well as refining operations to support these two goals.
Process
The client likened the consulting experience to when, as a young man, he and his father had purchased an old house to ‘fix up’ and sell. His CBS consultant reminded him of that time. “We first sat down and laid out the plan to achieve our goals, which we have adjusted as needs and obstacles surfaced. Our consultant, like my father, had a …

Visitors at Corporate Business Solutions are greeted by the twinkling lights of our Christmas tree and fireplace mantle. Shout out to our incredible maintenance team, Tim, Ken and Oscar, for stringing lights, draping garland, as well as assembling the tree and all its decorations.

CBS Reviews: No Longer Flying By The Seat Of Our Pants
Situation
Although the company had supplied fencing materials and installation services for over 60 years, the client shared that when Corporate Business Solutions first appeared on the scene, “It was an understatement to say that the business was chaotic.
It reminded me of a feeding frenzy for a pond full of Koi. Every morning, the crews would arrive and circle around our salesmen, trying to find out what they were supposed to do for the day. No one ever knew when a job was going to be scheduled (including the man scheduling them). We were at least six weeks behind …
Making Christmas Bright For A Local Family!
Lynn and Elizabeth bring in gifts to be wrapped!
At Corporate Business Solutions, we’re, once again, participating in the Salvation Army’s ‘Adopt A Family’ program. Elizabeth, first, contacted our Salvation Army, asking to adopt the neediest family that they had available. She then publicized the family’s ‘wish list’ via an email blast, asking for people to give funds or bring items for this family in lieu of exchanging gifts with their coworkers. She also recruited shopping volunteers to take advantage of up-coming ‘Black Friday’ sales.
CBS Reviews: Provided Vision To An Audiology Practice
Situation
The client, the owner of an audiology practice with three locations, who had responded to a phone call from Corporate Business Solutions, wanted an exit strategy as well as “a much needed overhaul. I had managed to grow the business to a $2.5 million level, but then, repeatedly, each year, have been unable to grow beyond that number.”
Process
The client had high expectations and the CBS consultant rose to the challenge. “The cost of the project would dictate that I should expect a superior level of excellence, and a superior level of excellence walked in my door.…
Celebrating Thanksgiving at Corporate Business Solutions
Our Thanksgiving gathering was an all day nibbler’s buffet with crockpots heating up even more entrees to be served after the first round of appetizers disappeared. The spread included BBQ meatballs, cheeseburger dip, taco dip, chicken wings, and cheese & sausage trays, among other tempting choices on display.
Yummy! Andrea reveals her dish!
Joe made his world famous Buffalo Chicken Dip (visit us on Facebook for the recipe)!
Deb made this adorable ‘turkey’ cheeseball centerpiece.
Be sure to save room for dessert!
As we embark upon the holiday season, we’d like to express our gratitude …
