“With Victory, we increased our profit 325% over last year. Other consultants just ended up costing me money, and didn’t help us our business grow. Victory are the real deal. I have confidence in our ability to go where we need to go, and that whatever barriers we run into, we will get the help we need to overcome them.”

We were struggling to break the income ceiling and struggling to find people. When we began working with Jimmy and Victory, they showed us how to improve our ads to better convey who we were and what we were looking for. We started getting the right people in the door, and changed our mindset on who was out there.

Just getting a different perspective of our business was very valuable. We are so close to it, we’re here every day and some problems are in your face every day, but you just don’t even see them. We have some plans and changes in the works on how to improve our facility, and we’re utilizing parts of our facility that hadn’t been previously utilized.

The first quarter of this year vs. last year’s first quarter was a 325% increase in net profit – our net profit went from around 7% to over 20%. It feels amazing to know that that we were able to make that kind of improvement. It’s not that we were living “hand to mouth” before, but we had a significant amount of debt that we had to conquer we weren’t making the kind of headway that we needed to make. We increased our rates to our customers, and that greatly improved margins. Working with Victory, we lost some of the fear we had around raising prices. But we did this in the right way, so we didn’t lose any customers as a result.

We have a great deal of respect for Jimmy and Steve. We’ve got a great deal of confidence in knowing that the recommendations that they give us without fail have produced fruit. I have a very high level of confidence that when I bring a problem to Jimmy and Steve or, when they see a problem, they will show me solutions.

I’ve worked with other consultants, some of whom just ended up costing me money, and didn’t help us our business grow. They cost us money and they actually created some doubt with my son over any consultant being able to come in and help us. But you know, Victory are the real deal. I have so much more confidence in our ability to go where we need to go, and that whatever barriers we run into, that we are gonna get the help we need to overcome them.
