Testimonials

I hired Acceleration Partners for their expertise with Giftzinger. Bob's extraordinary focus on customer experience, revenue and distribution models has provided our business with the insight, relationships and domain expertise that is scarce and highly valuable. I not only would hire Acceleration Partners for more work but I consider them to be a competitive advantage for my business.

 

John Surmount, Founder

I've known Bob since 2005. We first worked together when he was assisting Isis Parenting. Bob is creative and thoughtful. He understands how the entrepreneurial mind works. Not only is he excellent at business planning; but he knows the right questions to ask to help businesses succeed. He is personable and bright. He is also practical. Bob offers outstanding service and value to his clients. I would recommend Bob without hesitation to anyone starting a business or looking to grow an existing business.

Bob has an uncanny ability to wade through all of the noise to find the really meaningful and relevant pieces of the puzzle. He not only helped us refine and focus the business model, but he has also been immensely valuable as an advisor. From day one, he was engrossed in the project and became an integral part of the team. It was a pleasure working with Bob and I look forward to continuing the relationship.
