“Devoted Consulting exceeded my expectations on every level.  Not only are they far more organized than I could have imagined, but they offer so many common sense and new aged ways to help your business grow and most, if not all cost no money to do so!  They are worth every penny and right from the beginning we knew they were legitimate when we asked “Should we hire you or your competitor” and their reply was “hire us both”.  You will not regret having Vernon and his team help your business grow!”

We decided that we needed some help with process, procedure, and making sure we have the right people in the right places for our business to be as successful as possible.  In addition to that, we really wanted to get to know our numbers and KPI’s better.  So, we hired Devoted Enterprises and Vernon Stading specifically and we are very happy with the results!  He helped us narrow down the key metrics we needed to monitor as well as a structure for paying commission to our staff.  It became a place where our culture changed to a place of learning and enjoyment.  We enjoyed the success that we had with Vernon and when we have success, we want to share that with others.  Devoted was an asset for us, another tool that you can use to make your business successful!”

I own an IT and managed services company and before I met Vernon and Devoted Enterprises, I had zero work life balance.  He not only helped me set expectations with my staff but he gave me the tools and ideas needed to take my business from a “hobby” (because it wasn’t profitable as it should have been) to a thriving successful business where I can now go on vacation and away for the weekend without worrying about my business!   He is worth every penny!

I have worked with tons of professionals and other consultants in the industries that we have businesses in, and honestly most under deliver.  That is why it took me almost 2 years to Bring Vernon and his team in.   There will always be those that seek to just take your money and deliver the bare minimum, but the Devoted Team is honestly totally different.  I truly mean it when I say that they exceeded my expectations at every turn, including finding me a new  key leader as part of their Consulting packages.  Whether you have had experiences with other consultants that were good, bad or ugly, or never hired one before,  I recommend that you give Vernon and his team a chance.  You will not regret it!

I’ve been working with Vernon and his Company through the Small Business Advisory Board for just over three years. He is, and always has been, dedicated towards assisting small businesses by bringing experts and specialists to the table to assist them. One person can’t be “all seeing and all knowing” but we can have a network of trusted advisers to assist companies experiencing difficulties or looking to grow. I’m a proud member of the group and have seen many success stories over the years. Thanks for your leadership Vernon!

“We already had a successful large chain of stores that was doing great. But what Vernon and Dan from Devoted Enterprises did for us was a real game changer.  Hands on training and suggestions for capitalizing on the missed opportunities in our store was absolutely amazing. Likewise, the marketing suggestions they gave us cost almost nothing and are making a major impact. We are seeing large increases in the pawn balance, service charges paid, and retail sales. We highly recommend Devoted Enterprises for your business regardless of what your needs are!”

Vernon and Devoted Enterprises are an absolute machine!  I have never seen someone work as hard for my business as they do.  I have not had the best luck in the past with “coaches” or “consultants” because the value wasn’t there.  They are worth every penny!  If you want to learn work life balance, you need to hire them and get them to teach you what processes and systems you need in your business to make you more successful and profitable.

“I was working on a loan for a client of ours and he had just completed a business plan with Devoted Enterprises.  I have been in commercial banking for more than 25 years and I can honestly say that I have never seen a business plan like they created for him.  It covered so much more that just the information that I need to grant them an SBA loan.   It was so good that I plan to send every client that I get who has not completed a business plan to Vernon and his team.  If more business owners completed these I have to think that the default rate of 30% on SBA loans would drop dramatically. “

As part of our passion for our clients, Data Age created a Development Program as a tool to help our customers succeed.  We have even offered consulting services as part of this program.  Because our clients have flourished working with the Devoted Enterprise Consulting team, we are excited to endorse them as our one and only preferred independent consulting firm for the pawn industry!  As a former business owner myself, one of the mistakes I made was not using a third party to help me.  It could have contributed much more revenue and efficiency to my business.  Don’t be afraid to get another opinion on the health of your business even If you are successful.  You will not regret it!

You have helped me retain my long-term vision while optimizing the company’s short-term accessibility.  This has resulted in immediate, marginal profit and secured long-term, unlimited profit.  Before working with you, my company was taking on debt with no sustainable solution in site any sooner than 2 years out.  Now, my company is profitable with a very bright future.  Thank you very much, your services are worth every penny.

I watched Vernon work with an organization that operated several different entities with distinctly different business models. He was instrumental in helping the leaders of each company figure out how to better collaborate for the common good.  Someone that can come in from the outside of an organization like that is a tremendous asset to any business owner.

My business has been open for over 5 years and, thankfully, has been successful!  However, I needed to look forward and ensure I am running the business as effectively as possible. I’ve been working with Vernon on creating and updating my business plan and finding opportunities for greater profitability.  Even though I’ve been in the business world for over 25 years, Vernon has brought a fresh perspective and insights into my business that have been extremely helpful.  I highly recommend Devoted Business Development!
