About Kevin Cortez (That’s me!) Media Profile>>
I decided to put together my own bio because after all, who knows me better than me? So here it goes …
The main thing you should know about me is … Entrepreneurs are my heroes! They are the doers, the risk-takers, and the innovators who put it all on the line to turn their dreams into our reality. And for over 25 years now (Wow, has it really been that long?), I have had the honor of helping several business owners address some of their greatest challenges.
Sometimes experience is the first step to understanding …
As an entrepreneur myself, I can relate to being overwhelmed with having too much to do – in too little time – with too little money. I have been there. I have lived it! Truth be told, I am still living it. For more detail, click Background Link >>
Bottom line – I guess the one thing that I am most proud of these days is having had the opportunity to help some incredible entrepreneurs with the “business side” of their business.
On a more personal note, if you are interested in what some of my “causes” are, check out the following link to The Kevin Cortez Foundation >>
I was going to share some of the “marketing and brand development” successes but since a business owner is probably the one reading this, it would be more beneficial to highlight the fact that our company’s foundation is built upon much more than just mobile marketing.
That said, here are a few testimonials:
“I have had the distinct pleasure of observing Kevin’s business success both from a distance and up close for over two decades. Kevin has a unique gift and ability to identify solutions and create processes that consistently generate short term “pops” to the bottom line but also long term sustainable growth. His ability to bring calm & order to the chaotic is absolutely amazing to behold. Kevin thrives on solving problems which almost appears to come effortlessly to him. However, I know it’s through in-depth understanding of the core issues, his willingness to think well beyond the customary that enables him to develop and blaze new trails for others to follow.”
– Small Business Owner, Texas
“I would like to express our thanks to Kevin Cortez for the successful completion of the Consulting project that was desperately needed for the continued success of my company … He met and exceeded our expectations with the development and implementation of improvements to all aspects of our company. Kevin has been able to explain and implement systems that are tailored to our company, in a manner that is suited to our business aptitude…
The implementation of sound business planning, accountability and daily Profit / Loss tracking enables us to be proactive with the operations of our business and respond to potential problems or market fluctuations immediately. Kevin has built and implemented systems and policies that will improve our short and long term business goals with sound business practices in place.
We feel very fortunate to have had Kevin involved with our company, he has been a total professional with a special understanding of the needs of his clients, his knowledge of accounting and business make him an invaluable asset.”
– Multi-Trade Contractor, Canada
“I would like to sta
rt out by noting that Kevin Cortez has been an absolute joy to work with. He has made everyone feel fairly comfortable considering the fact that we are working on many uncomfortable issues – change, self-reflection, criticism, evaluating performance, learning and implementing new systems. Kevin has really given us an A – Z analysis with a tune up schedule which is very impressive considering the limited amount of time and funds that we have … I really do feel quite confident that with Kevin’s comprehensive package that we will be able to make a turnaround in our business within the next six months. We would like to think we might have reached this plateau on our own, but realize it would take us much longer and include many errors that might affect our productivity and the rewards to our employees. Our ultimate goal of a profitable business noted for its integrity, excellent work, staff and customer satisfaction is within our reach.”
- Commercial Glass Company, Nebraska
“I am 100% satisfied with the Business Support Program and feel good about what has been done so far. The three main things this program has brought to light for me are:
- Correct Bookkeeping is essential in driving the company and gives me the ability to make important decisions with direction and confidence.
- The cash-flow management system will help avoid the current situation I have with our main supplier and will also be able to directly help with important company decisions.
- The company budget will not only assist in management decisions but will also help identify, in a timely manner when things change for better or worse.
I have been very impressed with Kevin Cortez and especially like his hard work ethic, knowledge and drive. His performance has exceeded my expectations and the expectations of everyone here he has worked with. We could not have asked for a better consultant to work with.
