Testimonials

“I’ve worked with Mage for the past 20 years with multiple business ventures and each time I was impressed by their integrity, inspirational coaching and good processes. Mage has become a major asset and a trusted partner in my business ventures. Their dedication to improvement and business success is the reason why I keep coming back.”

Rick Brutti - President, Fresh Water Capital

“I want to thank you for counseling with another employee and for providing him with the tools and methods to better deal with conflict situations. He recently had a very intense, unpleasant face-to-face situation with a customer. Fortunately, he applied what you had taught him, did not get emotional or defensive, was polite, disengaged from the situation and referred it to his manager and customer service. As he said, “A year ago it would not have happened that way. I’m really thankful for what I learned so I can handle situations like this professionally.’”

Ed Boylan - VP Human Resources, AGAR Supply

“Mage helped us identify and screen numerous qualified candidates, ensuring our new advisory board has the experience and industry “know-how” to help us successfully grow our business… All the people from Mage who were involved in the process of establishing our Board of Advisors are professional and productive in every way. Mage’s skilled professionals consistently exceed our expectations. We truly believe we get more than we pay for from Mage, time after time.”

Robert J. Russell - President, Westport Rivers Vineyard and Winery / Buzzards Bay Brewing

“Mage brought the professional resources, positive attitude and bottom-line results that we needed to transform the company into a profitable venture with a very bright future. Beyond the immediate problem-solving activities, Mage has also been a welcome source of guidance, advice and action-based support in all operating areas of the company… I see Mage and its people as quality consultants, experienced mentors and good friends.”

George Kean - Chairman & Founder, The Handmade Bow Company

“Not only did Mage help our marketing and brand positioning, their consultants worked with us to develop a long-term growth strategy to improve our overall structure and profitability, while also assisting us in the creation of a Board of Advisors. Mage's counsel and advice helped us focus on our competitive advantages and position ourselves as the leading Indoor Air Quality service provider in New England. Mage has been a trusted and valuable source of ideas and guidance and a strong contributor to the overall success of Envirotech Clean Air.”

Dan Greenblatt - President, Envirotech Clean Air, Inc.

“…Cabot LNG Corporation was facing a significant expansion in its business but it had an organization that was poorly equipped to deal with the growth. With the assistance of Mage, we were able to push forward with successfully restructuring our organization. We are now confident that our organization is in a strong position to manage the opportunities before us.”

Gordon Shearer - Former CEO, Cabot LNG Corporation

“We are living a dream and we couldn't have done it without Mage. Eight years ago, we were a small family-owned and operated business. At the time, we were facing tough structural and organizational barriers. Mage helped us resolve those issues, and skillfully stabilized all the family dynamics. Mage professionalized us.”

Douglas G. Schwartz - President, PostFax
