“Common Sense Strategies with Steve Levy at the head enabled us to have direct contact with potential new clients. Steve’s responses to our needs indicated his wiliness to understand our business model in order to communicate our services to these new potential customers. What Steve did in a very short time frame, we could not do over several years. We owe these potential growth opportunities to Steve and his staff at Common Sense Strategies.”

Purchasing
Too often the purchasing process in a company can become stale, and get by through inertia rather than aggressive competitive pricing. CEOs and even CFOs can become consumed by long term planning or just figuring out how to meet the cash flow. While it was hoped vigilant oversight would be applied to the purchasing process, the reality is that it is often delegated down the line. Inventory, parts or services may oftentimes be procured simply based on a personal relationship, or the path of least resistance. Bringing in an impartial, dispassionate set of eyes can save a huge amount by forcing vendors to show your company how they can better serve you at a lower cost.
