KPMG
Alice M. Richter, CPA, Partner KPMB (Retired)

In my experience, Yale T. Dolginow is one of the quickest on the uptake in analyzing situations and in the development of strategies for solving company issues.

Measurement, accountability and FOLLOW THROUGH TO EXECUTION are some of the outstanding benefits of working with Yale Dolginow as a trusted advisor.
Yale is unique. He's been in the C suite for years and yet is willing to share his knowledge of business with those just growing into those positions.
Yale doesn't just advise. He has helped transfer his knowledge in retail to my service business.
He has forced me to go beyond my comfort zone so that I do not just repeat what I already know but take it to a new level. And he is all about results.

Solution Builders, Inc.
Eric Kleinschmidt, Manager of Client/Business Development

Throughout our engagement, Yale Dolginow brought innovative and insightful approaches that maximized our marketing budget and helped us gain sales leads through a tough economy.
Yale also brought his extensive business knowledge to the table when we needed to refine our sales process. His ideas, planning, and results are a key foundation to the future growth of Solution Builders.
I give my highest recommendation to Yale Dolginow for all he has done to our business, but I hold him in the highest regards for what Yale has done for me as a coach, mentor and friend.

I would highly recommend Yale Dolginow to assist any retail business with their strategic and tactical planning and implementation. Unlike many other advisors, Yale not only helps a client plan, but also implement the plan.
Yale knows how to manage and operate a retail business. He is very astute in analyzing financial statements and can help clients implement the financial tools and disciplines necessary to succeed in a very competitive and challenging environment.

Oak Ridge Country Club
Tom Feinberg, Retired President ORCC

We were unable to move forward until you joined and took over the reins of the building committee with your strong organizational skills. You were able to build consensus among the committee members.
Not only was the building completed on time but it was also under budget. We continue to marvel at how you were able to accomplish that with such a demanding and diverse group of members and staff.

InforMED Group
James D. Rose, President

We would highly recommend your services to any other organization that needs an independent thinker and planner to help visualize what is possible and then lay out the steps necessary to turn the vision into reality.
With your guidance and insight, we have been able to successfully conclude our search for an investor and partner for the future ... and culminate it with a successful buyout.
The "Book"...gave us the tool to present a clear vision of our goals and desires along with the financial foundation that justified the need for capital.
Your coaching and insight helped us solidify a solid contract agreement for InforMED Group that allows us to focus on the business at hand without fear of short-term capital requirements.

Allowing me to build a strategic partner relationship with you and your past businesses has been very rewarding.
Being able to meet with you concerning my personal business planning, helping me to move forward with a plan, and providing your "tips" along the way have been valuable.
The experience and thought-provoking questions raised have provided a good roadmap for me to move ahead.

Sociale Gourmet
Lisa and Jason Hake, Founders

We would highly recommend your service and insights to anyone who has a business and needs a sounding board and advisor to help them achieve what seems to be the impossible!
You have helped both of us step out of the day-to-day tactical operations of our business, and think more strategically about our company, our differentiation, and our future.
Your experience ... helped us drive decisions and ultimately solidify the deal. We could not have done it without you.
We appreciate your ability to take what seems to be an extremely large task and organize it into reachable goals and, ultimately, results.
Your connections in the business and fund raising community made it possible for us to move forward.
