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 actually waited until the last minute to produce my 24"x36" Seating chart poster. I didn't want to go with my normal printer that I use at work (I work in events, so i have a few) because the last few times the colors were off, and the other one had a really long leadtime. I took a chance and went with Action Litho (they're pretty close to my house), and boy, am I IMPRESSED! Timely production, excellent/Vivid color that's true to specification, professional packaging, and Warren even delivered it to my house. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

He is worth paying a visit, if nothing else to see his new office in Hayward; right near the San Mateo bridge.

I lacked not only the tools I needed but experience. When I met Patrick, it was as if everything came together at once. He has so much experience in media and marketing and also a great personality to back it up. Iv'e had so many bad experiences with people i've called "mentors" in the past and was really hesitant to rely on someone else to learn from. Patrick's genuine style and integrity never failed and I am always looking forward to working with him.

The gentleman who came seemed great, but he didn't send me a quote. One week later, I hadn't heard anything from them. After calling to ask if I could get my quote, the Owner (I believe) told me that they may "take a pass," on our projects. When I asked why, she said they "do this all of the time." She sent a follow-up email blaming it on their schedule and workload, but I had not even given them a delivery schedule. It was a super disappopinting experience. My advice - if you plan on getting a quote from them for a commercial project, get quotes from competitors as well. Be aware that this company evidently chooses to "take a pass" on projects often.

Coupled with his incredible business prowess has left me recommending his consulting to all of my friends. I hired Steven earlier this year when my business was bleeding. I had a solid product and service but I did not know what to do in order to scale my business and reach new customers. A few weeks with Steven changed all of that. He taught me how to think like a real business person, to not be afraid of losses, and to take on new opportunities with confidence. It didn't take long for his business strategy and marketing consulting tips to take affect. My sales jumped almost 3x in a few months because I was able to reach my audience and revamp my brand in a way that I never thought possible. Steven deserves 5 stars, if you are ready to take your business to the next level give him a call.
