BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We’re a small practice center of mental health counseling located in Salem, Massachusetts. We have a 25-member staff, and I’m one of the co-owners.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with WorldWide Local Connect Inc.?
We needed business consulting services. Among other of our financial challenges, our clinicians weren’t meeting the billing expectations, so we needed help to incentivize them with benefits and better contracts.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
First, we asked WorldWide Local Connect Inc. (WWLC) to create a detailed cash flow analysis and revenue report based on the financial information we provided. During this process, they helped us understand the questions we needed to ask to understand our finances and where our revenue was coming from.
WWLC then delivered a detailed three-year analysis, which included budget, cash flow, revenue report, profit-and-loss statements, and balance sheets. Basically, they covered all the different financial areas in which we needed to grow.
Since then, WWLC has kept working with us, providing suggestions for improving our revenue stream and profit margins. Additionally, they consult us regarding employee hiring, make changes to our employment contracts to create better pay structures that better fit our business model, and help us structure our employees' and clinicians’ benefits in a financially feasible way.
In addition to those services, WWLC has helped us in a variety of ways. For example, they helped us apply for the Paycheck Protection Program loan. They’ve also helped us understand our taxes better and figure out how to reduce them, changing our business’ tax model.
What is the team composition?
We work mainly with Peter (Co-Founder).
How did you come to work with WorldWide Local Connect Inc.?
Initially, we were referred to one of WWLC’s partners through a local organization that provided us with business consulting services for free. We liked this person’s work so much that we engaged with WWLC, and they connected us with Peter.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve spent around $6,000–$8,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We met Peter’s partner around 2016. They provided us with monthly business consulting for some time, but they then identified different areas of growth where we needed more specialized financial consulting. Thus, we were referred to Peter and started working with WWLC around April 2020. Our engagement is still ongoing.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve grown significantly over the last couple of years, and we’ve been able to do it faster than anticipated, thanks to WWLC’s involvement. Their suggestions have also improved our hiring and retention to support our growth. Additionally, we’ve been able to provide our clinicians with life insurance, a benefit that we didn’t even imagine affording before.
We’re extremely satisfied with WWLC’s work, and we want to continue working with them. Initially, we thought that they would only show us numbers, but they’ve taken the time to analyze those numbers in-depth to provide results.
How did WorldWide Local Connect Inc. perform from a project management standpoint?
WWLC performs very well. Everything is upfront, and their contracts are very clear, as is their communication regarding deliverables and timelines. We check in every other week. During our meetings, they provide us with updated information about our billing and revenue.
What did you find most impressive about them?
WWLC knows what it takes to create a successful business, and their strong point is their personalized approach to their clients. They make us feel that they care about our business and want us to succeed. Those characteristics are the reason why I would recommend them over other business consultants.
Peter is very knowledgeable and takes the time to get to know his clients personally. Additionally, he is very interested in understanding our business and how we want to run it. He also has made great recommendations, but he’s very willing to understand our workplace culture and how our values match our financial model.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I don’t think so; I don’t have any complaints.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Show up to the meetings, come in with questions, and be very engaged overall. Working with WWLC needs to be more like a partnership than a business arrangement so that they can help you succeed. Additionally, respect their time and be willing to learn from them; they’re very knowledgeable.
