Challenge

Weiss Advisors, led by a seasoned professional with a Certified Exit Planning Advisor certification, aimed to establish a robust advisory practice. Despite extensive experience and industry recognition, the firm encountered hesitation in conducting its first client engagement due to a lack of a systematic approach and the confidence to host initial triggering events for advisory services. As a process-oriented firm, particularly with a background in Lean Six Sigma, there was a clear need for a structured method that could guide client engagements from start to finish.

Results

In the first year alone, Weiss Advisors conducted over a dozen triggering events, secured further advisory service agreements with all clients, noted significant client satisfaction and business value enhancement, and developed a consistent and repeatable process that catered to diverse client needs.

"Having three decades of business experience and my Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA) designation, I faced my first client engagement with uncertainty. I understood the Value Acceleration Methodology but lacked the confidence and a clear path forward. It was Maus Software that equipped me with the essential tools to begin with assurance and provided the clear path I needed to grow my practice."
