Client Testimonials
“David and his team have been a tremendous value-add and compliment to our management team. As an early stage
company, our resources are constrained and we simply can’t employ all of the talent necessary to succeed. It has been
invaluable to have access to strategic talent at a fractional level, that can help us execute our plans.”
Chris Otto, CEO Halo Monitoring
“For several years now we have been working so closely with the Harvest team that we consider them a part of
PointClear. They have advised me and our management team on almost every critical strategic choice we have faced. I
am convinced that we would not have experienced the success we have without the help of Harvest.”
Blaine Anderson, CEO PointClear Solutions
”Harvest provided us with new insight on sales strategy and operations. Utilizing their services was a good business
decision for us since it gave us both an objective perspective, as well as viable direction. I felt that their contribution in
sales capability assessment and development was constructive, pragmatic and a very worthwhile investment.”
Preetha Pulusani, CEO DeepTarget
“Most of our business was concentrated into a few customers. We needed to understand what our strategic alternatives
were to diversify and grow. Harvest provided us with research and insight as to what our options could be, as well as the
investment and risk scenarios associated with each one. With their help we were given several viable growth strategy
alternatives to choose from, including product and market expansion.”
Randy Paries, COO UnitNet
“I have used the Harvest team to help me with strategy, tools to scale my business and fractional executive services to
help me execute and grow. Their ability to provide strategic advice and then help me execute on a tactical level is highly
valued.”
Gary Humphrey, CEO Technology Global Alliance

Approach
We scope and deliver projects to avoid lengthy and costly initiatives with unclear results. Our clients have both
strategic and tactical challenges. Either way, our approach is the same. We Listen, Discover, Assess, Advise and
Implement.
Listen - Listening to our clients and their stakeholders is the critical first step to ensure Harvest understands the problem,
scope, and timeline in which the problem needs to be solved and management’s level of desire to solve it.
Discover - The scope of the project dictates how much, and type of, data gathering is actually needed. A comprehensive
engagement requires a market opportunity scan, a competitive scan, collecting information on internal operations including
financials, product development plans, marketing & sales operations as well as administrative operations.
Assess - Once the necessary information is gathered to identify potential solutions, we populate our proprietary analytics
models to develop an assessment. We do this for each area within scope, whether it is an acquisition, product expansion,
revenue expansion project, risk analysis, marketing program, outsourcing project or whatever. An evaluation of each
alternative is made for each potential solution to support the eventual recommendation.
Advise – After thinking through the issues, landscape and solution alternatives, we’ll recommend a course of action we feel
best addresses your objectives. We’ll tell you what we would do if we were in your shoes and risking our own reputations and
shareholder value. Pros and cons of each alternative will be presented so that you can validate the advice.
Implement – Harvest advisors are not only consultants. We come from industry where we have had strategic, operational,
financial and budgetary responsibilities. We have experience successfully implementing critical business initiatives and will
assist you in implementing yours if requested.

Sales Diagnosis: Early Key Findings
Process Rating
(1-10)
Comment
Demand Creation (Marketing /
Lead Generation)
4 OK at times but inconsistent. Strategy & processes are not well-
defined and operational.
Existing Customer Expansion
(upselling current customers)
2 Just reorganized to have CSRs focus here; concern that they may be
stretched too thin plus they don’t have sales skills.
Proposal Generation 4 Headed in the right direction; heroic efforts in the past. Technology
could be used more to improve efficiency.
Selling 3 CEO is over utilized; this is not sustainable with growth. There is a
high variability of skills among RSMs.
Territory Management 3 2 empty territories; many RSMs do not reside in their territory.
Opportunity Management 3 Use of ACT! is low; technical issues (is ACT! the right / best tool for a
$30M company). Need crisp hand-offs from CSR to RSM.
Targeted, Defined Solutions NA NA = Not Assessed. Out of scope.
Target Market Knowledge 5 More regional understanding / penetration is needed. Inconsistent
knowledge across RSMs.
Prospect & Customer Knowledge 2 Online prospect & customer relationship management not currently in
place. “A” prospects not explicitly defined & profiled.
