"Jay Vierling not only makes sure that my management team stays focused on setting and meeting realistic goals, but he introduces a sense of urgency to our planning process that has invigorated us to accomplish more than ever before. The excellent follow-up we get makes all the difference when working with AEV Capital because of Jay's diligence in holding us accountable for meeting our goals."

Kent Howard
President
Balluff Inc.

"It's so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day activities of running a business and Jay has done such an effective job of helping us look at things with a fresh perceptive. He draws on his own business experiences to ask the right questions - especially the tough ones. Through AEV's strategic planning process, we have discovered ways to save a great deal of money by letting go of a sacred cow that wasn't adding value to our business.

Thanks for your leadership, Jay. I look forward to our continued relationship."

Steve Eppert
President
The Dapper Company

"As a relatively young executive, it has been great to work with a seasoned business leader like Jay. No matter how difficult a business issue might appear, Jay has the rare ability to put it into perspective because he has been there before. His credibility with my management team has helped move us forward with changes to our culture as we have worked to establish a more professional image. On a personal level, I believe that my professional growth has been accelerated because of the one-on-one time I have spent with Jay."

Steve Bitzer
President
Deerfield Construction Company

"Because you successfully operated and sold your own business, you have been able to quickly pinpoint the exact areas of my business that need attention. You have helped me position my company for growth and a possible sale when the time is right . . . you have taught me how to think and plan strategically for the welfare of my business. Even more importantly, you have served as a touchstone for me as a small business owner . . . Thank you for your capable assistance!"

Holly D. Dorna, MA, LPCC
President/CEO

"Jay Vierling has provided outstanding contributions every time we have worked together. His thinking is objective, his input direct and honest and his business management perspective invaluable. He is quick to get up to speed and provide real quantifiable value. I recommend him to any business executive looking for help with a challenging business problem or needing some coaching to hone management and leadership skills."

Glen Allmendinger
President
Harbor Research, Inc.

"I just wanted to thank you and to tell you how much I appreciate our One to one's. You have helped me look at my business differently and opened my eyes on several different issues. I have found it very beneficial to have someone outside my industry, who is familiar with my specific situation, to have discussions with. It brings me a whole new perspective.

I look forward to our continued relationship and please keep pressing me forward."

Dave Hershberger
Prestige Travel Inc.
President

"When I first asked Jay to facilitate our strategic planning process, I didn't realize what a positive difference he would make - right out of the gate. Jay's depth of business knowledge gave him immediate credibility with our, somewhat skeptical, field management team. He was able to get everyone talking and taking ownership of the most important issues by narrowing our focus and building consensus - never shutting anyone down in the process. Essentially, Jay has helped our company redefine itself and the entire management team is motivated to accomplish the critical initiatives that are moving our business in the right direction."
