More important than what we might say about ourselves is what others might say about us. Here’s some feedback from some of my past clients and colleagues.
Problem-Solving
“Mike is masterful at breaking down complex issues into manageable problems that can be solved. There is no question that working with him is a privilege and it will set you apart from the competition. With his help, guidance and insights I was able to generate and retain millions of dollars in revenue.” – Melanie Martin, Tampa
Navigating Turmoil
“I’ve worked with Mike throughout the last two decades and his efforts have directly impacted over three dozen business owners and over $60 million of advertising budgets in the last ten years alone. He has been particularly valuable to me and my customers whenever “the shit hit the fan.” I turn to Mike to help us figure out how to pivot, message, and operate during the toughest times of the Great Recession, the pandemic, and all the ups and downs in between. Most recently, he hosted another successful webinar for 30 of my home improvement advertising customers planning through the uncertainty of today’s complex market conditions. My clients said it was exactly the information they needed to make sense of everything and help plan for next year, and after the webinar, I can describe it as “next level.”” – Dave Cohen, Atlanta
Presentations and Facilitation
“You know how every now and then in your life journey you meet that person that just stands out above the rest because they possess a certain unexplainable magic? Well, in my career, Mike Anderson has been one of those people. He is kind of the non-geek of research; his mastery of language enables him to write and deliver copy, presentations and workshops that mesmerize the audience. His fresh perspective on research generates valuable insights that help his clients grow.” – Sophie Fry, Cleveland
Business Acumen
“Mike helped me reinvent the way I serve my clients by emphasizing a focus on staying up to date with real-time business trends. Customers used to see me as their media account executive, but they now see me as a true extension of their companies.” – Jonathan Daniel, Jacksonville
Content Creation and Collaboration
“Mike is truly a one-of-a-kind thinker. While he worked at CSS he always contributed in a meaningful way. He made everyone around him better and that is about as good a compliment can get. Mike was also one of the co-creators of key workshops such as… The Marketing Mind, designed to empower salespeople in marketing strategy. The FCW facilitator’s workshop, designed to teach the principles of brainstorming, facilitation, and bringing the best out of the people in the room. Elm Street Economics and Cashing in on Consumer Trends, both intended to help sellers AND THEIR CLIENTS navigate turbulent times and capitalize on current industry and consumer trends.” – Matt Sunshine, Dallas
Specific Account Development
“Mike will look at the problem from your point of view. He takes the time to understand your true need and the unique situation you face. He then attacks your issue with intelligence and wisdom to provide factual evidence you need to assist in objectivity.” – Ralph Renzi, Miami
Work Ethic and Sales Talent Development
“He leads by example, with an unwavering focus on not only revenue development, but also people development and client growth. Mike is a selfless collaborator, partnering with our sellers to understand research and trends, create effective messaging, and going above & beyond in order to help his colleagues and their clients succeed.” – Jeffrey Ulrich, Atlanta
Marketing and Sales Strategy
Mike is the “secret sauce” for both sellers and clients. We’ve worked together in many different iterations over the last several years, and his passion for problem-solving is always present. Mike does a great job providing valuable insights and strategies that allow us to dig deep and solve challenges.” – Michelle Woods, Seattle, San Francisco
Management Consulting
“His skill set – his knowledge and integration of marketing elements, consumer behavior, trend analysis and out-of-the-box creative thinking – is unparalleled. Credible. Insightful. Intuitive. Prescient. C-level execs and managers trust him, employees embrace him, and customers respond to him. I am proud to call him a friend, colleague, a consummate professional.” – Rolf Pepple, Minneapolis, Alexandria
Trends and Team Development
“As a Sales Manager, I’ve utilized Mike’s talents to help in sales training in Seattle and markets across the country. He is my secret weapon. He is very effective with our sales staff, helping them understand different categories of business, current economic trends and how their clients are being affected by them.” – Linda Hansen, Seattle, Pittsburgh
