"Class was so helpful I'd be interested in taking any classes offered!"

- Jump Start Class attendee

"Because (the Jump Start Class) is taught by CPAs, many people might assume that it's all about numbers (i.e., statistics). However, your course was so much more than that -- not only goals, but how to actually achieve them, using innovative and unusual (but effective) management concepts. In addition to teaching the concepts, you also provided the tools for motivating others, and staying focused on what was really important. Definitely an enlightening, engaging and fun series of classes. "

- Brett Meltzer, Turnbull Wine Cellars

"The Strategic Performance Management Workshop was a breath of fresh air. It guided us in clarifying our vision and developing a strategy to get there. But, unlike many such courses, Craig also provided us with hands-on experience and very user friendly tools to implement change in our business practices. His considerable knowledge of the wine industry, his comfortable manner and the excellent course materials make this a good value for both new and existing wine businesses. "

- Tom Clark & Laurie Claudon of Clark-Claudon Vineyards

"The biggest benefit I have observed is that our management staff is now on the same page and working toward clear, concise goals with a team mentality. They are highly motivated because they can actually measure and see the results of their hard work. I now have more confidence in my staff to understand and take care of real company needs. In turn, it has freed me up to think more creatively and to concentrate on what I do best. "

- Rob Sinskey of Robert Sinskey Vineyards

"The TriMetrix system not only helped us match the candidate with the perfect qualities for the job, but it helped us define the most important qualities needed for the job, so the 'match' would be a win-win situation for everybody. "

- Delia Viader of Viader Vineyards

"The Strategic Performance Management program forces your team to focus on the critical or key factors which make for success. It also requires managers to think long-term instead of being totally absorbed in the day-to-day aspects of a job. "
