Jim Roddy works with high-initiative, growth-oriented SMBs to help them uncover their blind spots with customers, employees, and business best practices. Then he applies his 25+ years of business management experience, executive leadership, and industry expertise to help them get better. 

For example, one small business owner said that after Jim’s Customer Health Checkup merchant survey and staff Professional Development Workshop he saw significant improvement in his employees and his internal processes, resulting in stronger customer relationships. When Jim conducted a follow-up Customer Health Checkup one year later, that SMB’s customer satisfaction rating jumped 24%.

One of the many software developers Jim works with said his advisory services have been “instrumental helping us to tailor our programs to provide the type of white glove service and support that really makes a difference to our reseller’s bottom line.” A 200-employee software developer said after Jim’s second workshop with their team, “I love when Jim does a workshop with us. It’s so beneficial for our staff to take time to be in this mindset and talk through these things, and it’s great for new hires who may not have had any formal training before. … It’s a really great learning experience. Jim Roddy does a fantastic job!”

Jim’s core purpose is to help companies improve their profits and achieve all their employee-development outcomes at a fraction of the cost of a typical full-time employee. 

Areas of focus include: Strategic Business Planning & Execution, Brand Marketing, Complex Change Management, High-Performing Talent Acquisition, Company Infrastructure Creation, Training Development & Facilitation, Client Relationship Management, and Proactive Employee Engagement.
