Bert has a unique ability as a business consultant to nuance recommendations and observations from a point of health and sustainability for a business owner or organization's quality of life perspective. His skills can be applied to any product or business model, and it's been astounding watching him work with a broad range of professionals with dramatically different approaches and needs. What a gem.

Bert was great to work with. He understood exactly what we needed and delivered a clear plan for us to get it done. Throughout our work with Bert he never pushed his agenda or tried to change us. He supported us in doing what we do, but doing it better and more focused.

I attended Bert’s marketing presentations at Durango’s Small Business Development Center and found his presentation, style easy to follow and his knowledge of marketing extensive. So, when it was time for the Durango Public Library’s marketing team, to create a marketing plan, I reached out to Bert to see if he was interested in the challenge. Unlike a business, a Library has similar but different marketing needs. Many team members had heard of the term marketing plan but were unfamiliar with the process. Bert was able to guide our team through a brainstorming session and made the team feel at ease during the process. Burt took our ideas and created a marketing plan that fits our unique market. It was a timesaver and with his patience and guidance, the team came away with a better understanding of how to move forward with our marketing strategy. Thanks, Bert, for your assistance in this process.

The City of Durango had a great experience with Bert. He provided tailored workshops to members of Durango's creative community. The workshops provided a great introduction and education around the basics of starting a business. Would highly recommend working with Bert!

Bert has been a great help to me as I've been starting my business. He helped me focus on my perspective clients and how best to reach them.

Bert helped my partner and I truly rethink our marketing strategy to focus more on the customer and get to understand our users better.

Bert not only helped us think through the what, but the HOW to execute on the strategy.

We have started a lot of this work to help segment our customers and get to know them better so that we can make better recommendations for them and in turn, improve our conversion rates.

Bert is extremely knowledgeable and his marketing strategy approach is based on long term brand building instead of short term hacks.

Thanks Bert for all of your help in making TripOutside awesome!

I am currently working with Bert to grow my coaching business in an impactful and organic way. Bert masterfully understands the challenges I'm up against and has challenged my perspectives and tactics with compassion and wisdom. I think it is Bert's combination of enviable business acumen and colorful life experiences that make him a remarkably capable and trusted advisor.

I have attended numerous workshops with Bert as I've started my business and he is a very knowledgeable and experienced entrepreneur. During his presentations he makes a point of giving examples specifically for the attendees' businesses to make it relatable and useful. He also makes you think critically and intentionally about what is right for your business. Rather than trying to give you answers, he teaches you about what to consider in a given area: target market, advertisement, growth, etc. and helps you become a more savy business owner along the way. Would recommend!
