Our Philosophy about Business Retention and Expansion

Many communities say that they have an active business retention and expansion program. However, most programs are not effective - even by modest standards. Unfortunately, these business retention programs are focused on data gathering, not helping individual businesses flourish and survive. These programs typically start with a bang, but quickly end with a fizzle because they are not focused on key business and community stakeholders.

ExecutivePulse offers a proven approach to business retention and expansion that is multi-dimensional, holistic and highly effective – proven programs that support the economic, workforce and community development efforts of a community or region. Unlike other consultants, our prescriptions for long-term success are rooted in our direct experience as business retention practitioners. The principals of ExecutivePulse have a comprehensive background in business retention as outreach specialists, team members, program managers and as management and technology consultants. There is no other vendor that can make this claim.

At ExecutivePulse, we understand that economic development goes hand in hand with workforce and community development, and so our efforts are devoted towards building a dynamic business retention plan that is inclusive of these critical disciplines. Creating a sound economic development strategy ensures that priority issues are addressed and limited resources are well targeted – company by company. Our business intelligence system enables economic development professionals to devise strategies that cultivate competitiveness in each company within a targeted sector or industry - creating successful companies, one at a time that, by extension, boosts the entire economy.

By combining our knowledge of economic development strategies and business retention techniques, ExecutivePulse assists communities, regions, states and provinces in developing effective, results-oriented economic, community and workforce development strategies.

We use proven one-to-one database marketing and customer relationship management (CRM) techniques to provide long term results for our clients and their clients –businesses large and small in communities, regions, states and provinces throughout the United States and Canada.
