Everything owners ask before hiring a consultant. Answered straight.

Every engagement is scoped after discovery, because the work depends on what we find. What's fixed is the economics: the 2×1 guarantee means every dollar you invest must return at least two in net profit — so the engagement is designed to pay for itself twice over, in writing, before you commit.

At least two dollars of additional net profit for every dollar invested in consulting — measured in your own financial statements, on a basis defined in the engagement agreement, agreed before we start. Not revenue, not projections on a slide: net profit. The full terms are explained here.

Because discovery comes first. Before the guarantee goes in writing we've already priced your money leaks — the way clients like Lone Ranger Well Service ($1,487,046 identified) and American Oil Company (~$847,000) saw their numbers before committing. We only make the commitment when the found opportunity comfortably clears it, which is also why we're selective about who we take.

Cash-stabilizing moves typically start within the first two weeks. Structural improvements — pricing, job costing, labor utilization — usually begin showing in monthly statements within the first quarter. One client gained over $100K in net profit within a week of engagement; that's not typical, but it shows what found money looks like when the leak is big and the fix is fast.

Yes — the assessment, the first call, and the working consultation cost nothing and commit you to nothing. You'll leave with at least one insight worth acting on whether or not we go further.

Discovery mostly uses our time — we observe your operation working normally. During implementation, plan on one weekly working session with your management team plus the follow-through your managers own. The engagement is designed to give you hours back, not consume them.

Both. Dallas–Fort Worth clients get regular on-site work — that's our home turf. National clients combine on-site immersion visits with weekly remote sessions, a format that has produced some of our best documented results.

That's your call, and we help you script it either way. On-site, Armando works as part of your management team. In our experience crews respond with relief — they've usually seen the problems longer than the owner thinks.

Until the agreed goals are reached and your team runs the new systems without us — not a day longer. The point of the method is to build muscle that stays after we leave; open-ended retainers are the opposite of that.

Sí. Consultations and working sessions are available in English or Spanish — useful for DFW crews and family businesses where the shop floor runs bilingual.

Check everything: client testimonials with names and companies, his ASBC accreditation, SCORE Certified Mentor status, and the VoyageDallas "Hidden Gems" feature on the About page. Then bring your hardest questions to the first call — skepticism is a fine starting point.

Three structural differences: discovery happens inside your operation, not from a questionnaire; every recommendation is priced in dollars so priorities are transparent; and compensation sits behind the 2×1 guarantee, so the risk of a binder-on-the-shelf engagement is ours, not yours.

Then you'll hear it in the first conversation, along with where to look instead — SCORE mentoring, a specialist, or a different timing. Saying no early is part of how the guarantee stays honest.

Nothing formal. Know your rough revenue, headcount, and the two or three things that frustrate you most. If you have financial statements handy, later conversations go faster — but the first call is about understanding your situation, not auditing you.
