Virtual COO Consulting

Attention Entrepreneurs, Speakers and Info-Marketers:

Are Your Business Operations Propelling You Forward or Holding You Back?

• Are you a business owner where one of your main sources of income is professional speaking? Do you produce events?

• Are your business operations running as smoothly as you would desire, where you are maximizing your profit margin, and focusing on the parts of your business you enjoy most?

• Would you like to drastically increase your revenue, decrease your expenses, reduce your operational risks and have your team run like clockwork without you, so your business operates like a well oiled machine?

If you are like many of the speakers and information marketers in the industry, you are brilliant at speaking, you are likely a visionary…but when it comes to execution of your vision and day-to-day company management, that is where you are holding your company back from the massive success you know is possible.

You Are Having an Operational Breakdown

That is where we come in. Whether you already have a COO and are looking for an outside strategic perspective, or you are just ramping up your business to play with the head honchos, we can assist you in developing and refining your existing operational structure to support the rapid growth of your business so you can achieve your biggest results.

As a Virtual Chief Operations Officer, Robert Finkelstein works with a select clientele of entrepreneurs and speakers who are not quite ready for or not currently in need of a full time COO. The focus of the COO is on operations management, which means he is responsible for the development, design, operation, and improvement of the systems and strategies that create and deliver your company’s products and services.
