Blueneck Client Success Stories

Building Supplies

Profit Improvement

Referred by a financial planner, a family business transitioning to the next generation had faced years of operating losses, raising concerns about its viability.

Blueneck provided business planning, a new financial strategy, and aggressive sales initiatives, supported by regular Business Coaching to enhance knowledge and implementation success.  As a result, revenues grew over 200%, profits increased by more than 900%, and a new business partner joined the management team.


“Blueneck genuinely cared about our family and our dad's business, teaching us how to save it, grow it, and turn a profit.” – Joel, Co-Owner and CEO

Fire Suppression

Team Growth

Referred by their financial planner, a family business that successfully transitioned to the next generation struggled with excessive workload in the CEO’s office, impeding growth. Seeking effective strategies to enhance business value, they engaged Blueneck. They conducted a Business Diagnostic Assessment, resulting in a new Strategic Business Plan.  With regular Business Coaching focused on organizational changes and performance accountability, they added a new General Manager and Divisional Manager, redistributing operational tasks and significantly improving employee engagement.


“Blueneck’s support filled our skill gaps, and their advice is always reliable and valuable, even on complicated issues.” 

– Rob, Owner and CEO

Industrial Services

Business Expansion

After eight years, a specialized engineering company remained stuck under $1 million in revenue, leaving the owner exhausted. Blueneck provided emergency coaching, identified new opportunities, and developed a new Strategic Business Plan, focusing on staff health and stronger management skills. With coaching for the CEO and younger managers, the business grew 300% in two years, expanded operations, and built effective new systems.


Working with Blueneck has been overwhelmingly impactful. It gave us a true opportunity for learning and to unfold our vision in a more ambitious and healthy manner. Blueneck is a vital part of our team.” 

– Zoe, Founder and CEO

Construction

Brand Re-Focus

A partnership with two locations wanted to expand, but after a year in another consulting program that yielded little progress, they were ready for something else. Referred by a colleague, they turned to Blueneck. They conducted a Business Diagnostics Assessment, leading to a new Strategic Business Plan that aligned operations and staffing with a unique new brand identity. Regular Business Coaching provided the discipline needed for implementation, resulting in positive responses to the new brand.


 “Blueneck helped us get unstuck, clarify who we want to be, and discover better ways to achieve results.” – Shane and Wayne, Co-Owners.

Landscape Services

Business Value Growth

Referred by another client, the new owner aimed to significantly increase the value of a long-established business and dominate the market quickly. Blueneck provided Strategic Planning and Executive Coaching to enhance skills, build the brand, and implement the plan. As a result, revenues grew by 165%, profits increased by 250%, and the estimated business value rose by 300%.

   

“Blueneck transformed our ‘mom-and-pop’ business into a valuable organization. They know what they’re doing and have been great to work with. No one should do this without help like this.” – David, Owner

Industrial Equipment

Steady Profit Growth

A third-generation equipment sales and service business struggled to manage growing demand, overwhelming its young CEO. Referred by their accountant, Blueneck provided Business Coaching, planning, forecasting, budgeting, and recruiting support. With a new General Manager and Financial Manager in place, the CEO’s pressure eased, and the business continues to grow profitably, resolves issues faster, and focuses more on customers.


“Blueneck’s advice has been solid and reliable. It has helped us to navigate some difficult situations and learn how to do things better.” – Riley, Owner

Industry Associations

Strategic Coaching

The President of an established industry association saw the need for change but struggled to gain board support. At the suggestion of a former board member, Blueneck provided Executive Coaching, Strategic Planning, conference presentations, and expertise for training programs. With their help, the Exec Director secured board approval for a new Strategic Plan, leading to key improvements and a government-funded skills development project.


“Blueneck’s coaching gave me the clarity to align our organization with the future and successfully shake things up!”
 – Liz, President

Commercial Fabrication

Owner Exit

After 25+ years running a successful custom service vehicle and fabrication business, the owner wanted to retire by selling to a loyal employee but was unsure of the business’s value or next steps. Referred by a friend, Blueneck provided coaching to maximize value and then advisory services to coordinate legal, tax, and financial issues. When the employee declined, another buyer offered nearly double. The business continues to thrive while the owner enjoys financial security, family time, and traveling with his wife.


“Blueneck prepared us, explained every option, and ensured everything went smoothly. They cared about us, and we couldn’t imagine doing this without them.” 

– R., Founder
