Making Your Business Run At The Front of The Pack

RFD Insight, Inc. is a management-consulting firm that provides the leadership and the tools to succeed in business during tough economic times.

RFD Insight is based in southeastern Michigan, with offices in Bloomfield Hills and Ann Arbor, and leverages the resources of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Wayne State University and the diverse technology centers throughout Southeast Michigan in its management consulting projects. The company is in its ninth year and has served twenty-four clients.

All of RFD Insight’s clients have succeeded commercially despite the unproductive economy. All of our management engagements have achieved higher margins on growing sales without resorting to layoffs. The graph at left shows the results achieved by a recent client, and highlights a two-year revenue growth of 46% and an accompanying profit growth of 115% during the worst economy since the Great Depression and despite the bankruptcy of a major customer and a major cutback of government contracts.

Our methodology is proven and consistently successful:

• RFD Insight is a hands-on consulting firm. We work inside your facility and stand should-to-shoulder with you as we identify the impediments to growth and profitability and demonstrate success with new solutions and behaviors.
• We analyze your operations and find cost savings and new revenue sources, making it possible to turnaround your business without sending valuable employees home.
• RFD Insight visits customers with you, helping you step up to new markets and find new customers for a broader and more secure revenue stream and a stronger negotiating position with your current commercial base.
• RFD Insight will travel abroad with you, supporting your supplier reviews and customer development with experts who know the language, customs, and hidden agendas of your hosts.
• Our work is intended to provide you with competitive advantages in North America and offshore.
• All of RFD Insight’s experts are experienced and have significant career achievements.
• We work on a fractional employment basis. The problems you face rarely reside in one area. We provide experts in all of those areas that challenge you, but with each willing to work on a part-time basis. The result: you have all of the necessary disciplines for the cost of a couple of full-time executives.
• Once we qualify you, RFD Insight is often willing to work at reduced rates, earning an upside payment only if we attain the goals we have mutually agreed upon. We are confident enough of our methodology to have “skin in the game.”
• We do not reverse engineer your firm to look like your competitors.
• We’ve come to help you win.
