Why Trilby?

Entrepreneurial spirit has been the driving force of successful societies for a millenia, but even the greatest visionaries benefit from coaches who can help them channel and fulfill their creative destinies. At Trilby Consulting Group we believe it's our mission to stand alongside you - whether you're just starting up, established, or somewhere in-between. Let us show you how working together can help you thrive in ways you didn't know were possible!

We offer expertise in:

Sales Process Implementation

Consistent sales success is no accident! Time and experience have proven that companies and sales professionals who combine defined processes with consistent execution achieve higher, and more slump-resistant results. Whether you need to identify strategies and craft sales processes from scratch, implement defined practices and standards, or track and reward results, Trilby Consulting Group has the expertise to get the job done.

Master Networking Strategies

Whether a CEO, a sales professional, a community leader, or a soccer mom, we believe that with the right tools, everyone can be a master networker! Trilby Consulting Group’s networking training starts with a solid Philosophy of Networking foundation. Then, we add Networking Diversification, Situational Strategies, Practice, and in-the-field coaching (as appropriate) to fill the networker’s toolbox.

Navigating Financial Systems

Solid financial practices are key to a thriving business’ success. To support this, Trilby Consulting Group’s coaches work arm-in-arm with you to build a solid team of financial experts (bankers, accountants, investment and insurance advisors), and provide coaching to help you build and maintain these critical relationships. We also advise on effectively organizing and monitoring bank accounts, preparing for and seeking lending, and guarding against or recovering from fraud.

It starts with discovery!

Consultation

We come to you. Tell you what to do. You listen. You do what we say because, if you knew what to do, you wouldn't have hired us in the first place. So, logically, that means complete obedience. Ergo, start by hiring us - because we told you to. See? Easy.

Briefings

For your company, your team, your friends, or private dance (no touching) - when you need someone to hear what we have to say.

Workshops

Great for conferences, "down days" or just because you're bored. What are you even doing right now? Browsing the Internet? Lazy... At least if you hire us you'll look productive.
