Common Questions from San Antonio Business Owners
What small business consulting services do you provide in San Antonio?
We provide hands-on consulting for San Antonio small businesses: operations improvement, sales training, leadership development, growth strategy, and organizational design. Unlike traditional consultants who deliver reports, we work alongside you weekly to implement changes and fix what's broken.
How much does small business consulting cost in San Antonio?
Consulting for San Antonio small businesses starts at $2,500/month for weekly strategic support. Most clients invest $3,500-5,000/month for comprehensive consulting covering operations, sales, and leadership. Month-to-month engagements—no long-term contracts required.
What makes you different from other San Antonio business consultants?
We're not advisors who hand you reports and disappear. We provide hands-on implementation support—working with your team weekly to build systems, train staff, and fix operations. You work directly with our founder, not junior consultants. We focus on San Antonio small businesses doing $500K-$10M, not Fortune 500 companies.
Do you work with San Antonio contractors and trade businesses?
Yes. Many of our San Antonio clients are contractors, HVAC companies, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors. We specialize in operations for project-based businesses, sales training for competitive bidding, and leadership development for owner-operators transitioning to management.
How quickly will we see results?
Most San Antonio clients see measurable improvements within 60-90 days: better pricing, improved sales win rates, cleaner operations, stronger cash flow. Typical engagements last 12-18 months until operations are stable and the team can run independently.
Can you help with sales training for our team?
Yes. We provide sales training tailored to San Antonio markets: consultative selling, proposal development, pricing confidence, objection handling, and account management. Training is hands-on—role plays, ride-alongs, and real deal coaching, not just classroom theory.
What if we just need help with one specific problem?
We can start with focused engagements: pricing overhaul, sales process design, org structure redesign, etc. Most San Antonio businesses discover that fixing one problem reveals others—we're flexible to adjust scope as you identify what else needs attention.
How is this different from hiring a fractional COO?
Business consulting is strategic and project-focused. Fractional COO is ongoing operational leadership. If you need someone to fix specific problems (pricing, sales, hiring), consulting works. If you need someone running day-to-day operations weekly, fractional COO is better. Many San Antonio clients start with consulting and transition to fractional COO as they scale.
