Cory Long’s Approach to Consulting
Great consulting begins with patient listenting. Most of the time, I have business owners talk to me and just want answers. The problem is that so many times they’re asking the wrong questions. My business consulting strategy begins with listening. I want to hear how your business started. I want to undrestand what your initial goals and dreams were. From there I want to walk through where you’re at and truly get a feel for the pain points you’re experiencin in your business.
Once I have the full story, I’m able to deliver stategic advice on what your next steps should be. You’ll find that I’m easily approachable and consulting for me comes from my heart. I have a strong desire to see business owners grow and thrive.
There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all when it comes to owning a business. Each business is unique, even if the product is the same. The model you choose is what works for your personality, your brand, your audience. Navigating that is what I do best. I will provide action steps, practical strategies, and real-life examples to help promote your business to the next level.
Move Beyond Your Imagination to Propel Your Business
You read that right. It’s time to move beyond your imagination. At the end of the day, we’re all the same. We are singularly focused, and many of us are extremely good at what we do. Are you great at sales but need help with the business side of things? Are you a visionary leader but lack day-to-day strategic implementation skills? Perhaps you just need a little nudge to get off high center.
Here’s where I can help. With considerable time in the business world and owning multiple successful businesses, I know the challenges of maintaining a healthy business. I am also keenly aware of how important it is to keep the foot on the gas pedal and continue to move forward. Growing a business doesn’t happen by wishing hard. It grows with determination, hard work, and having someone who can help you navigate the direction.
My consulting services are unique. While building a multi-million dollar business, I have a uniquely casual approach. Mindset is a big part of moving forward and developing a successful business strategy. Together we can make that happen for you!
Have an Active Vision, Strategy, & Roadmap to Reach Your Goals
Successful businesses utilize consultants regularly. Charting a course before putting the boat in the water is always the best practice. However, sometimes the course needs to be altered – the tide has shifted, the water is deeper than expected, or maybe there are icebergs ahead! Having a trusted business consultant to help navigate these situations can save a lot of heartache and frustration and save money over time. Consider the cost of going another six months or a year with strategies that simply aren’t working.
I can help business owners make wise decisions. It has been my experience that when a business owner calls me for a consultation and actively implements the vision we discuss, goals are met and even exceeded!
Scale & Maintain Healthy Operations & Culture
Business consultation comes in many forms. There is general consulation that helps look at the overall picture and helps move things in a certain direction. Then, there are a number of other types of consultation that helps a business scale and grow at a rapid pace.

Having a healthy business culture is also part of a consulting service that I offer so that your employees and clients feel like your business is the best in the business. It’s important to maintaing a healthy culture. Operations plays a big part in this process as well and our services will help you take a look at your business as a whole and help ensure that your operations and culture are suitable to your overall goals.
I Also Give Hands-On Workshops & Talks
