INTRODUCTION - In the early '90's, a group of senior consultants and managers were attending a series of seminars, talking about the projects they were working on or had completed.  One of them noted that many of the advantages realized by the firms we were employed by or for whom we were engaged in consulting work, would never be presented to small and medium sized businesses.  The consensus was that the needed guidance just wasn't generally available to small and medium sized businesses.  We felt there was a large market for experienced consultants to work with the best and the brightest of the small to medium size business owners, to maximize their benefit from existing systems, and to work with them as they implemented new procedures and tools.  Within a year the Montclair Management Group was formed (1993).  [Back to Top]

UTILIZE SENIOR CONSULTANTS
We will assemble a group of senior consultants to introduce the business owner and manager to the latest technology and procedures tempered with a pragmatism and prudence only experience teaches; we will provide our services at reasonable fees by vigorously applying the cost saving technology, concepts and tools we advocate; and, we will avoid the temptation of becoming sales agents for any of the solutions we present.  [Back to Top]

EMPLOY PRAGMATISM & PRUDENCE
The best ideas in the world must be measured by their timing and other yardsticks.  We automated the data gathering for a manufacturer's payroll a couple of years ago.  Employees simply waved their badges near a device, scanned the job ticket they were working on, and the system handled everything else.  The system allowed the company to make an acquisition that tripled their payroll while they decreased their staff at the same time.  Now, make that same recommendation to a company with a roster of 12 employees and you would be aiding them in achieving bankruptcy.  Experience teaches us that not all good ideas are good for everyone.  ROI has to be taken into consideration on every recommendation.  

Another point:  Will the organization's mindset or company culture allow a new procedure to be successful?  Can they be persuaded to enthusiastically embrace a new method or to use new technology?  

Lastly, we emphasize using existing software and hardware more effectively before we would suggest new purchases.  Our collective experience verifies the belief that many groups have the equipment they need; they simply are not using it to its potential.  These companies need help in more completely taking advantage of the investments they've already made - thinking integration of systems; getting everyone on the "same page"; moving to an operational model in which they touch specific information only once and then re-use it again and again.   [Back to Top]

LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE
We didn't develop our philosophy while in school.  Nor did our group develop a "feel" for what will work from a book.  We learned how to direct organizations in time and money saving procedures by being there and doing it.  Constantly learning, forever searching for new and better ideas, our staff owes its effectiveness to the fact they've been at it long enough to get really good!   [Back to Top]

CHARGE REASONABLE FEES
We practice what we preach.  We avoid unnecessary overhead like the plague.  We have the needed equipment, software and communications in place to get the job done without significant back office staff and supporting personnel.  We don't invest heavily in marketing programs, rather, relying on that which has proven very effective - word of mouth.  End result - we can charge less than the rates we were billed at when working for larger firms.   [Back to Top]

NO SALES AGENCIES
You can't be active in this business without developing relationships with suppliers of hardware, software, wiring services, training programs, etc.  It is generally accepted business practice for the consultant to benefit financially from recommending these products or services.  We reject that concept.  Simply stated, we do not benefit financially by making a recommendation.  No commissions, discounts, kickbacks, finder's fee, are accepted.  We DO, however, aggressively negotiate available price breaks or extra services.  These savings are passed directly to our clients.  In some cases, because of contractual requirements, we have to make the purchase to benefit from pricing reserved for distributors or dealers.  In such a case, we credit your account with the discount.  Normally, we attempt to posture ourselves as negotiating a purchase on your behalf.

This "hidden benefit" is important and a component in our overall offering that clearly sets us apart from most "consultants", so let us stress it further to make it crystal clear.  We don't understand how a purchaser of consulting services can be absolutely comfortable that the recommendations made to them are purely in their best interest, if, at the same time, they realize the consultant will benefit significantly by their following that recommendation.  We take that concern out of your evaluation, COMPLETELY.   [Back to Top]

KNOW FOR WHOM YOU WORK
This is a simple point:  When you engage our services, it is your interests we are working to enhance.  There are no hidden goals, ulterior motives, sales logs to fill - our sole reason for accepting the work is to provide you with guidance that will allow you to prosper and achieve your goals.   [Back to Top]  [Next Page]
