We recently had the pleasure of working with Colin Bowman from Cultivate Advisors for a training session aimed at strategizing for our 2025 sales and marketing campaign. From start to finish, Colin's expertise and guidance were invaluable. His tailored approach and deep understanding of sales and business development helped us refine our strategies and set clear, actionable goals for the year ahead.

Colin’s ability to connect with our team and provide practical insights made the entire experience both engaging and impactful. We left the training feeling more confident and equipped to drive our sales journey forward. The clarity and focus Colin brought to our meeting will undoubtedly play a significant role in the success of our campaigns this year.

We highly recommend Cultivate Advisors and Colin Bowman for any organization looking to take their sales strategy to the next level. Thank you, Colin, for your outstanding support and for helping us set the stage for a successful 2025!

Working with Cultivate Advisors was the best thing I have ever done for my businesses. My advisor was smart, honest, detailed and with me every step of the way. Our relationship lasted 6 years until we hit all our goals and had strong exit and profitable sale that we were hoping for. Would highly recommend for any owners looking to get support for growth, scale and improve their business.

I've had the pleasure of working with Mary Guarino from Cultivate Advisors. We've made amazing progress in the 60 days we've been working together and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Mary has been phenomenal. She is smart, caring, experienced, and has helped tremendously in getting my business moving in the right direction. I highly recommend Cultivate Advisors!

My partner Caroline and I have been working with the team at Cultivate Advisors for roughly a year and we have really enjoyed working with our advisor Rudy Franco. Rudy is thorough, thoughtful and an amazing resource to us and our team. Over this past 12 months we have slowed down from the day to day grind to look at business strategy, our overall organization and we've had some tough conversations to really try and create a better environment for our team and our customers. We appreciate the partnership and I cannot recommend Rudy enough. He cares on all levels. If you are looking to grow your business, bring it back to basics or prepare it to sell I'm pretty confident you will be impressed with the Cultivate team and method.

I've been working with Cultivate Advisors for two sessions, first the 3X Program and now CEO Roundtable. The program I've been working on with Spike has been remarkable. Spike is a business coach to me, literally bringing a Board member mentality by asking questions, providing motivation, and a moderate sense of accountability. All this work together has created a better foundation of success, growth, and enterprise value to my company of which I would give credit to Spike's leadership and the Cultivate Advisors program.

I'm working with Brianna Russell.

Although it's only been a short amount of time (two months), I've already received a lot of benefit from working with Bre. I've been operating my business as a solopreneur, but I'm wanting to grow—create a business that can operate without me involved in every project. I needed guidance to start building the foundation, which has lately been understanding the financials.

Things that are working well:
- Bre's communication—giving me detailed action items, responding to questions, and taking notes.
- Bre's understanding—wants to know me and my business needs.
- Bre's personality—I feel comfortable and open to sharing the innermost depths of my business.

Would definitely recommend if you're looking to grow!

I am a huge fan of the entire team at Cultivate Advisors. Jay Cash has been working with me and my leadership team for about 6 months now and we've already seen notable changes in our business.

Jay is a consumate professional who knows exactly which areas of our business need the most attention. He then brings a fresh and valuable perspective on how to address those areas quickly and effectively. We finished 2024 up over 110% vs 2023 and we attribute much of that growth to the wisdom and guidance Jay has provided.

I've also had the privilege of interacting with many of the other leaders and advisors at CA and I've been equally impressed. Dan, Casey, Matt, Brad, Angi, Rudy, Autumn....I could go on and on. This is a top notch team!

If you are a business owner who one day wants to have a fulfilling and successful exit that helps you leave a real legacy, I highly recommend working with the team at Cultivate Advisors.

Cultivate Advisors was the best decision I could have made to partner with a company to scale my business! My partnership with Rudy as my Business Advisor has been PHENOMENAL!!! Rudy has been a steadfast partner through every triumph, growing pang and disappointments. Rudy has helped me excel and counter every adversity. As business owners it sometimes feels as if you're alone on an island, but not anymore with Rudy as my teammate and guide. This experience, knowledge and lesson is worth every dime! Thanks Teammate!!!!
