Rocky mountain fence

Rocky Mountain Fence (RMF) is a fence installation company located in Northern Utah that had been in business for over a decade. Despite having a strong reputation for quality workmanship, the company was facing financial pressures and struggling to find ways to grow their business. With increased competition and rising costs, RMF realized they needed to make some changes to stay afloat.
challenge
RMF approached our consulting company to help them identify and implement strategies that would help them grow their business. After conducting a thorough analysis of RMF’s operations, we recommended that they build out a sales team and commercial sales program. Our team worked closely with RMF to recruit and train a sales team, develop a sales process, and establish a strong brand and marketing strategy.
solution
Over the course of the next two years, RMF’s sales team successfully landed several high-profile commercial contracts, allowing the company to rapidly expand its customer base and increase revenue. With our help, RMF grew from $1.2 million in annual revenue to $3.2 million in under two years.
