"Vivify has opened my eyes to something I'd never seen
before--the power and importance of business strategy and analysis.
After all the work we've done together, I'm entering into a
partnership where my business will gross 10x what it has made over
the past 3 years (and I'll personally net 20x the $6,000 investment
in Vivify LLC)."
Donald Barnhard PhD, Founder
Optica Software
"We have utilized [Vivify] as an important strategic planning and
corporate development consultant. During that time, Paul has
impressed me as an unusually capable person with solid business
leadership skills: 1. He listens well. 2. He is a team builder. 3.
He is very practical. 4. He is marketing oriented and technology
savvy. 5. He is principled. I heartily recommend Paul for any senior
consulting or management team role in which these qualities would be
required and valued."
James E. Kaufman,
Principal
SafeTnet LLC / InsureMIND
"[Vivify] stands out from other marketing consultants I’ve met
and employed because of his willingness to configure all aspects of
the project. Paul combined standard marketing 'tools' with creative
business consulting tailored to my business. The result of our
working closely together supported my decision-making process and
really set Vivify LLC above the crowd."
Daniel T. Ellis,
President
Information Architects, Inc.
"There is no doubt in my mind that [Vivify] contributed
significantly to our stepping into a position where we so threatened
our competitor, Accrue Software, that they chose to acquire/merge
with us for $77 million."
Mike McClure, VP Strategic Alliances
Marketwave Corp.
"[Vivify] carefully listened and helped us establish principles
within our sales world. ... We are now evaluating, forecasting, and
understanding trends. From charts he developed, we now have visual
analysis at a glance. We are still following most of his ideas."
Stephanie Shinn,
Inside Sales
GraphiCode
"Paul drove the [Web overhaul] effort over a period of many
months and the result was a great success. Paul also suggested we
delay the [product] release, add a few more features, and charge
customers for a major upgrade. So version 4.0 came out in December
2001 and is generating significant revenue. ... Paul's ideas and
energy will be even more valuable to a company that has a larger
marketing staff."
Barry MacKichan, President
MacKichan Software
"[Vivify] helped me sketch out a two-year Road Map and get
clear on my exit strategy... I have taken a relationship I had with
another dance studio and am in the process of merging with them! It
has been so helpful to have Paul coach me on the important
considerations – advocating for interests that I didn’t even know to
look out for!"
