In fulfillment of its mission to help businesses grow, Geauga Growth Partnership is offering consultation services with an experienced professional.
It often makes sense to include another viewpoint, obtain outside and objective comments, or just confirm your ideas related to an important issue. Capitalize on the opportunity and gain some insights from Dave Kraninger, Managing Partner of Kraninger Associates and GGP’s Business Consultant.
Dave can help businesses with organizational development, strategic planning and marketing plans, cost structure and analysis, and sales and marketing, which include evaluating core competencies, improving product margins, and reorganizing to reduce queue time and improve through put.
Mr. Kraninger will have a dialogue with GGP members, at no cost, to provide an objective resource for the many challenges of operating in today’s business environment. Over the past year as Business Consultant for GGP, Mr. Kraninger has assisted more than a dozen businesses and organizations to work on issues of business development and strategies, organization, compensation, marketing and succession planning.
Barbara Titus, Vice President of Sheoga Hardwood Flooring, speaks highly of Mr. Kraninger’s assistance.
“When our company was faced with re-negotiating our outside sales force contract in December, we turned to Dave Kraninger for assistance. He was thoughtful, precise and presented us with a multitude of options. His prior work experience and management techniques were eye opening…. We will turn to him for help again in the future.”
Dave Kraninger received a BSME from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
