My company was like a member of my family, but it was starting to stagnate. After talking with Ken and becoming partners with Goettl we were given the tools to see the company not only live on, but thrive.

I've been following Ken for a while now. I can't even believe he took the time out of his day to talk to someone with a company as little as mine, and give us much knowledge as he did. When he was explaining everything he dumbed it down to my level to make it make sense for me and I really appreciate it.

Andrew Crowe

Ken and his team have very creative ideas on positioning and marketing
