I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

I have been meaning to write this review for a while. I first heard about ExecTech during a talk at…read morea Santa Clara County Dental Society meeting. During that talk, Clayton was able to pique my interest enough to make me inquire about their dental consulting services. Long story short, I am so glad to have met Clayton that night and also so glad to have had ExecTech on my side this past year. My experience with ExecTech has been nothing short of amazing. Our practice numbers have dramatically increased. I attribute much of this success to the guidance from my practice consultant JD. He has helped me to put systems in place to better communicate and motivate my staff. JD has helped me to also analyze my practice more by numbers and less by "feel". We now consistently set monthly production, collections and new patient goals. Year to date (end of September 2018) we have over 850 new patients in and our practice revenue is up over 30% from 2017. In all, I have really enjoyed working with JD and the whole ExecTech team. If you are a young doctor looking for guidance on how to better manage staff and grow a young practice, you should strongly consider ExecTech. It has been a worthwhile investment.

Michelle is the best!! She has been supporting me on my journey since day 1. I reached out to her…read morewhen I started looking for a full time job during my last year of college. Michelle has a variety of resume templates that are customized based on your experiences and type of job you are looking for. She reformatted my resume to make it easier to read. It made a HUGE difference & more recruiters started reaching out to me. As I started getting interviews, Michelle helped me simplify my answers so they are more understandable for non-tech people. When I ran into obstacles, Michelle taught me to maintain a positive mindset & remain patient with the process. Rejection is re-direction!! Amid the ongoing pandemic, I started my first job in the corporate world at home. This wasn't the ideal situation but Michelle tried to make my transition as smooth as possible. She is a great listener and always validates my thoughts. Other people I've spoken to about my work problems always gives me generic advice. But Michelle truly understands what I'm going through and gives me advice based my situation. She constantly reminds to be less harsh on myself & take things one step at a time :)

Working with her completely changed my outlook on work, career, and myself. I feel that I now have direction, motivation, and goals. I have a set path that I am so excited to pursue. Michelle helped me discover what I am most passionate about and gave me the confidence to go after what I want to achieve. I can't recommend her services enough. I love that her methods are holistic. She helped me as a whole person, not just as a worker or employee. She has been my bright spot of 2020 and I tell everyone who is struggling with their jobs or careers to work with her.

I wrote reviews for Eye Spy for several years. There were only a couple of restaurants contracted…read morein this area. I enjoyed one of the locations and the other locations not as much. I thought I did a decent job for them. pretty regularly they dropped in an additional restaurant that I did not sign-up for. It was over an hour round trip to go and do the evaluation. I thought I was being a team player and accommodating when I did evaluations there several times. In October I was given an evaluation to do. We went and dined on the prescribed date. I do the evaluation when I return home while everything is fresh in my mind. When I went to open the link it was missing. There was no way to open it. I emailed Heather twice to advise her I was unable to open the report to complete it. It had been my experience that if a report was late they would contact me. That did not happen either. When I finally received an email it was late at night when I opened it. It basically instructed me a had to complete the report by midnight. I opened the email after 11pm. When I contacted Eye Spy I was basically told I was a liar. They could open the file without any problem In the office. Well, previously I could open every file. Obviously, there was a glitch somewhere. It was wildly insulting to someone who had written many reports for them to make the assumption that I no longer knew how to open the files. The insinuation was I am a liar. Maybe one of the most entertaining aspects of this incident is they are supposed to be about hospitality and customer service. They were flat out hostile and rude. I had copies of the emails I sent. I wasn't asked for those. I was just accused of lying. You don't get paid by Eye Spy to evaluate. You do it in exchange for an often nice quality meal. If you do a decent job, it will take you an hour to an hour and a half to write the evaluation. So, if you are thinking of applying to be an evaluator, you now know what you may be up against. I cannot tell you how disappointed I am with Eye Spy. They failed my critique, they ended up being the restaurant equivalent of a cockroach swimming in your soup.

Our entrance meeting was super helpful in organizing our tax situation and identifying all the relevant matters. They maintained excellent communication throughout the process, asking on-point questions, and finished much quicker than I expected. Many folks have simple tax returns and can plug numbers into the online tax software and be done in ten minutes. That was my approach for years. However, as my tax situation became more complicated, the need for a trusted tax advisor became more apparent. While completing our tax return, we identified "obvious" errors on my self-prepared via an online software tax return. The "additional" tax refund from fixing my errors more than covered the much-deserved fees (which were reasonable).
