Here's what people are saying about Redline and Asa Beavers.
"Our business is over 40 years old and I had to take control over 5 years ago after my father passed away. I inherited a very mature company that had been doing things the same way for a long time. Probably the most valuable thing that Asa did was ask lots of “obvious” questions. He challenged why we did things the way we did and if there were other ways to be considered. Over the course of the last 2 years we have challenged ourselves to look at things differently which has resulted in changes in personnel and systems in how we do business. We now have more and better measurements in place and a management team that can take our business to a new level. Asa is my sounding board. He’s there to listen, to push back, and to coach me so that I can lead a high performance team."

"I’ve always thought of myself as only a vet. Then I was in the right place at the right time and became the proud owner of the Cat Clinic of Cary. Running a business can be scary, especially without a traditional business background. Asa can easily de-mystify the complexities of business and work at my level. Already, we have created job checklists, tested marketing campaigns before completely jumping in, and created new business opportunities. Most importantly Asa is really good at team development and we’ve built a team that works really well together and are excited about our future."
- Dr. Jenn Hodge, Owner, Cat Clinic of Cary, veterinarian
"I hired Asa to coach me and my business over 4 years ago when I had a store that was bleeding money and I was working endless hours in my two restaurants. Most business owners would find ways to cut back to reduce the losses...even cutting back labor by working in the businesses themselves. I know I did. Their last thoughts would be to invest money in a business coach to help them through the challenging times. I knew I couldn’t afford a coach at that time. But I had to make a change. I did and it has paid off dramatically. Since working with Asa, my first restaurant has experienced a 25% revenue increase, we closed the under-performing one, and have opened two new restaurants in the last year. Now I manage my team by numbers and have all the data necessary to make decisions and fuel my long-term vision. I am more productive with my businesses by spending more time working on the business and less time in the business. I can honestly say, I’ve moved up from your typical small business worker to a multi-unit chain operator. The sky is the limit with my business and a coaching partner to guide my way up!"
- Ray Chow, President, Hibachi Xpress, restaurants
"We had been in business for over 6 years but still weren’t turning enough revenue to comfortably pay ourselves what we deserved. We knew we needed help but didn’t know who to turn to, and then we received a letter from Asa. Since that time we have increased our revenue by over 40%, we have systems in place to make sure we deliver our services consistently and everyone on the team knows exactly what they’re responsible for, we have marketing going on consistently, and we have regular team meetings. Asa continues to help us stretch our vision and hold us accountable to meeting our monthly revenue goals."

"I spent years treating children from my home office, but when I moved out of my home and opened two offices I had to put much more time and thought into managing and growing my business. Asa has helped me become a better business owner. I no longer see clients on a regular basis. Instead I’m spending time developing the skills of my therapists, I’ve put a support structure and systems in place to remove myself as a bottleneck, and I have a vision to consolidate my two offices into a single center that could be a prototype for pediatric occupational therapy. Our revenue grew over 12% in 2007, the business is more profitable, and I’m working fewer hours."
- Bonnie Hacker, President, Emerge – A Child’s Place, pediatric occupational therapy
"A lot of people don't realize that a medical practice has a business side, but it does. I had a real good practice and then I brought Asa into my business to help me take it to another level. His insight has helped me improve my patient flow, decrease the time each patient waits and increase profitability. We now use KPIs to measure all aspects of the business and have systems in place that have allowed me to efficiently see more patients while providing a higher level of service to them. Our revenue is up 80% over 3 years ago. Asa is an integral part of my practice."
