Testimonials
Tom DeClue, President GPR/Wegman Companies – St. Louis MO
Our company experienced rapid growth to over $150 million in our Midwest Commercial/Industrial mechanical and electrical construction, service, and maintenance businesses. Unfortunately, profits did not follow. We knew we needed sound honest advice to help us steer the ship in a different direction.
Mr. Kotubey was the exact answer for us when he came onto our advisory board in 2020. Michael instantly won the respect of my team as he listened to our complicated issues and quickly offered advice as if he had worked with us for 20 years. One of the many questions he asked was why we were keeping 9 divisions operating since 5 were losing money. His question was framed – “Is there any compelling business reason for keeping all these businesses going?” That was a moment of truth for us and forced us to address this key strategic question.
For us it was an emotional issue. For Mike, it was “Contracting 101”. It became apparent to us that there wasn’t a compelling reason to keep devoting time, resources, and money to these unprofitable businesses. We decided that we’d focus on the four profitable businesses and phase out the other five. The result – this past year, while our revenues dropped to $130 million, 2022 will be the best year for profit I have ever seen in my 19 years in the office! We are absolutely blessed!!!
His approach with communication and his leadership background in business is invaluable and exceptional in my opinion. If Mike didn’t know the answer to our problem, he certainly has a unique ability to ask the team the right questions so we could find solutions together. He will humbly challenge you as a leader and make your company better if you want to improve!
