I was looking to acquire a new location for my business and needed a valuation and some consulting advise. I contacted John because he came highly recommended and referred. John and his team came out and did a deep dive into all facets of the business and we even discussed a wide variety of topics that I had not explored yet. Upon completion, I received a very detaiiled report and next steps for me. I loved it! John is a great friendly guy and easy to have these discussion with without the crazy pressure of some slick consultant. I'd go higher if I could!

Last thing I'd do if I wanted to turn my business around is hire this guy ever again. Old school tactics. Mediocre connections. Bad advice. Doesn't take anything seriously. Even paying him turns into an entire fiasco. Not the type of experience you'd expect from someone you pay the same rate as your attorney. I essentially did the opposite of his advice and business has been doing better. If you want to waste your money, get backstabbed (he is disloyal), or get nowhere then hire this guy. Time to retire, bud.

I just started this journey with RCG and my experience has been great. They are guiding me get on the right path for success. I can already see there is real value in hiring professionals like John & Justin. I’m so glad I did and I highly recommend The Russell Consulting Group.

I have been working with John and his company for a few years now. We work in the landscape industry and he has helped us transition from a one man crew to two separate crews operating independently!
