Salient7 is a management consulting firm that brings CEO experience and an extensive history in technology consulting to help leaders clarify priorities, build effective strategies, and maximize operational effectiveness so that no potential is left unfulfilled.

We help you navigate business growth opportunities:

Scaling your leadership team beyond founders, AI integration, defining winning strategies, M365 productivity maximization, modern workplace strategies, sales process optimization, upgrading customer portfolio, intentional vs. incidental lead generation

Owner dependency, employee turnover, lack of focus and direction, leadership anxiety, Microsoft 365 under-utilization, and decreasing customer loyalty

We reduce business pain:

Myths

  • Your success is only a portion of what it could be with an intentional strategy

  • You have a lot of recurring meetings where you talk about stuff, consensus is usually achieved, but everyone has their own version of the desired outcomes

  • The infrequent mention at company gatherings and the framed values in the lobby aren't driving any desired behaviors nor results

  • The effectiveness of the strategy is unknown because there aren't any weekly and monthly measures

  • You have no scorecard nor a rhythm of reviewing it

  • Your strategy is actually internal planning and execution and there is a lack of understanding of what a strategy actually is
