Q: Is our company large enough to take advantage of a Business Assessment?
A: If your company is large enough to have problems, then it's large enough to benefit from NorthStar services. Regardless of size, there's room for practical ideas and notable improvements in any business. Balanced against increased profits, the fee for a Business Assessment is small.
Q: I’m just going to sit back and wait for the economy to recover.
A: Pardon our candor, but in a storm, it makes more sense to ensure that you’ll not
only endure that storm but come out stronger than those who just sat on the sidelines.
Q: If getting business is our major problem can NorthStar still help?
A: Yes, Northstar can help you by re-positioning your company,so that you can increase
your marketshare during this economic down cycle.
Q: I have people in place who do what you do.
A: With all due respect to you and your people, that’s simply not possible – and NorthStar can prove it.
Q: How can you possibly show us anything we don't know?
A: Often, NorthStar Corporate Services clients are "too close to the forest to see the trees."
We bring an impartial, outside viewpoint to diagnose your business objectively.
You're the expert, but we'll give you the management tools you need to control your investments
and make informed decisions.
Q: Can you give me any reason why I should use your company?
A: Two reasons. First, our work is guaranteed – in writing. We don’t know of any other consulting company that guarantees you will receive the value you expect for your investment with us. Second, we take no money up-front. We get paid after we’ve delivered to your satisfaction.
Q: Why do you say that you’re unique and different?
A: Since we’ve elected to stay small, we can attract the best consultants in the country.
In any business, it’s the people that make a difference. Ours are the best and we put our
money where our mouth is–with a written guarantee.
Q: I don’t need help. Things are great.
A: Congratulations! You’re one of the rare ones who’s personal, professional, and financial lives have no room for improvement.
Q: We're in our peak period. Can we afford to take the time out of our schedules to work with NorthStar's staff?

what you should expect from your company. Then, we develop a tailor-made
program for your business needs.
Q: Will our union agreement prevent us from making the changes we need?
A: The NorthStar Corporate Services has experience working with union contracts. Labor
agreements don't have to be affected when considering increased profits. Any improvements we make would be beneficial to labor, since job security largely depends on profitable operation.

Q: Is now the right time?
A: Now is always the time. If you cannot accept criticism, you'll never find the right time.
Q: I’ve been scammed before by “consulting companies”. No more.
A: Sorry to hear that. But if you’ve retained a consulting company in the past, it was because
you felt that you had a need in your company. Unless you’ve addressed that need, then your
company is still vulnerable. We eliminate the possibility of a scam by providing a
written guarantee that you’ll receive the value you expect and by providing
our service before we get paid.
