I've been working with Doreen from Visions to Excellence for 18 months now, and am really pleased…read morewith the progress we've made together. As the sole founder of a small business, I had been lacking a partner who understood the business challenges at my level in order to forage a path forward to the next level of growth. Doreen has been able to fill in the knowledge gaps, affirm some of our decisions, suggest course corrections, and most importantly provide an accountability framework. Every week we push things just a little bit further, and our business is now running in the better polished way I always envisioned, but struggled to pull off on my own. With a new foundation we can push full speed ahead with marketing and business development activities which enable us to finally increase the size of our company and our revenue. As a bonus, I sleep much better at night with less anxiety. Chris Miller President - Launch Brigade https://www.launchbrigade.com/

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!

Orb Intelligence (http://orb-intelligence.com) was in need of a website redesign including content updates and new functionality. We wanted our corporate website to reflect the latest design trends, as well as our product and company developments.

The overall design challenge was to find a way of incorporating modern trends while at the same time preserving our B2B focus and enterprise customer appeal. Diffco US turned out to be a great partner for this project that delivers the expected results in the agreed time frame while closely following the client's technical requirements.
