Testimonials

The best way to tell you about our effectiveness is to let our clients do the talking. Here are a couple testimonials to give you an idea on the impact we make on organizations.

Jim and Jerry Westgate own and run WESCO. Here is a statement from Jerry on our work -

“The Big Rapids Group’s Performance Amplification process works. We reduced our employee turnover significantly using their techniques. That foundational change has allowed us to drive our organization to new heights of profitability and overall performance.”

Rene’ Poch is the owner and CEO of Trillium Staffing -- we have worked with Rene’ to increase sales of specific types of staff placements -

“The biggest challenge in running a company is managing the variety and diversity of needs on a regular basis, which is why I have worked with Big Rapids Partners for the past 6 years. Tom Pitman helps me focus on the key issues that are necessary to achieve our specific goals and not get lost in the day to day issues that never stop coming. We have worked on both performance and profit amplification programs for the past 3 years and will continue these programs because they achieve results. The reasons are many, however, the primary driver is Tom’s relentless pursuit of results by focusing a spotlight on the activities that make a difference. His comment of “if we shine a light on the things we want to change it creates heat and focus which changes behavior and ultimately results”. It certainly has worked for our company and I am a true believer in the process.”

Here is one of our favorites -- we can’t claim total credit for how this store manager feels about WESCO -- that has a lot to do with how the company is managed overall -- but we know our work has this kind of effect on managers.

“I am so proud of the person I have become and the things I am able to accomplish on a daily basis. I love the impact I have on people and the influence I am able to have on those around me. I am proud of the fact that at the end of the day I can sit back and know what we,as a team at Store #16, have done that day. It sounds corny but I am so proud to be included in what WESCO as a company stands for.
