You’ve Got a Business Problem? Buddy Hobart’s Team of Consultants Could Have the Answer
Picture this scenario: You own a business that, despite your best efforts, was hammered by the recession, and you were forced to downsize your staff to cut costs. Now, you’re getting back on your feet, and you have some major initiatives in place that will move your company forward, only you lack experienced personnel to make those initiatives happen, and you lack the resources to bring in the experienced personnel on a full-time basis. Enter Buddy Hobart. During his time as President of Solutions 21, Buddy has noticed a dramatic rise in an experienced, talented labor pool that was forced into unemployment by the recession. With his new venture, Ex3 Matters, Buddy is working with these people to train them to become independent consultants who provide value to companies in need of experienced personnel in critical positions, but that lack the capital to bring these people on full-time. Buddy joins “The American Entrepreneur” Ron Morris to discuss the Ex3 Matters venture, and the invaluable role that an independent consultant can play in a growing company.
