What we really liked about working with 8 Cylinder Consulting and Mark were how they took a holistic approach to helping us grow.
Unlike other consultants who focused on 1 or 2 aspects of a business, they helped us take a look at all of our business. He calls these his “8 Cylinders” and it made perfect sense to us.
Our processes are better now. Sales and marketing work together now and our culture is better now.
I would strongly recommend this company to any company. We still use them after 2 years and it is still a great experience.

Mark and his team have helped our organization and leadership team prepare for rolling out our company nationwide.
His work with my senior team on leadership really has helped get us in a position to move forward with our expansion plans.
We are going to have a blend of company and franchise operations and he has been instrumental in helping us implement consistent procedures and processes, which will insure consistency for our company, franchisees and customers.
It will also insure a more profitable operation for our franchisees, which will help us find investors and franchisees.
Loved working with them.

When I needed help with my marketing, I didn’t hesitate to call Mark. He is an excellent marketing and business strategists with experience in a variety of industries. Mark is really good at balancing what I want with what makes sense from a marketing perspective. I know that when I am brainstorming an idea or creating a marketing strategy Mark listens but more importantly, he doesn’t hesitate to let me know what will work and what might need to be modified to have the impact I want with prospects or clients. He has also done his research and has assembled a suite of marketing tools. When he recommends a tool, I trust he knows what will help me grow and be successful. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love helping small businesses succeed and thrive. It is unreasonable to expect every business owner to know everything about how to run a successful business. I enjoy helping them, so they can do what they do best, focusing on the reasons why they got into business in the first place.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have spent most of my adult life helping businesses grow, while working for other companies. I felt it was time to take my skills & experience and go out on my own so I could offer what I saw businesses need the most...someone fighting for them to succeed and willing to care enough about them, to be honest with them.
I have a team that will work FOR our clients and do all we can for them cost effectively. My organization has been designed on purpose so that I can provide "Best in Class" services to clients while keeping their costs reasonable.
My goal is for each specific client to provide services to them that help them grow, increase profitability and do so cost effectively. And for each client my team and I work with, to do so with integrity.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. I currently have clients in 4 countries and nearly a dozen states in the US. Most I work with remotely.
