Who Is TrailBreakers
With decades of experience, TrailBreakers is what every good consulting agency should be.
TrailBreakers Knows Consulting
We’ve Been a Part of Other Consultancies
Most consultancies see you as a line item on an Income Statement that multiple people get bonuses on. They sign you up with a low-ball initial price and then continually raise rates and push you to buy more.
Our rates are our rates. We don’t raise them after an initial period of work. We are a partner that sees your success as our success, so we don’t push to expand our services within your business. We want to help you, not pad our bottom line.
We Don’t Pad Our Bills with “Insurance”, “Warranty”, and other items to raise our billings
The dirty little secret in consulting is that most consultancies pad their bills on the back end. Either they shave hours or add fees that often add up to upwards of 20% on your invoices but provide little or no actual value. They bill you to protect themselves when things go wrong.
The Founders at TrailBreakers believe that you should only be paying for services that are beneficial to your business. We have the experience to do things right the first time, so we don’t need you to be our insurance, our warranty, or our back-up plan.
We are Flat Rate Across the Board
We are a boutique consultancy without the boutique rates. There’s no rate card that tries to hide who’s really doing the work: You meet the people that will be doing the work. That is why clients stick with us: We’re open, up-front, and bring your company value with everything we do.
We Prove Our Worth
Our team of product data professionals have been consultants. They have been in industry. They have worked for vendors. They have installed tools. They have built teams to work on product data problems. They have degrees in data management, business administration, and communications. We know how businesses function.
Our passion for data means that we will always do what is right to bring value to your business. We only recommend solutions that benefit the data, the people managing the data, and the technology utilizing the data. And we don’t disappear when the difficult work starts.
Our value is in the fact that we know what to do, when to do it, how to implement our solutions, and in a way that makes your business more efficient, more profitable, and have a partner in your success.
It Starts with a Conversation
The TrailBreakers philosophy involves talking about your issues, your challenges, and your business needs before we pitch a solution. This conversation is vital to understanding the situation your business finds itself in, and we specialize in facilitiating those conversations.
Connecting the dots that constitute the challenge you are facing is a specialty of ours. We don’t deal in symptomology: We solve root cause problems. So let’s have a conversation and see how TrailBreakers can assist your business.
An Ecosystem View of Product Data
Most Consultants want to implement a solution that solves the most obvious problem, then move on to the next problem. Whether it’s a software solution, taxonomy design, or integration strategy, most consultancies are not trained to look for root cause issues, complimentary or conflicting variables, or even ask why it’s important to solve the issue.
Trailbreakers experts look deeper. Our discovery processes is comprehensive in analyzing root cause without adding additional cost. Our solutions look at your entire ecosystem, avoiding creating more problems than we solve. Our Ecosystem view includes data governance and remediations strategies to ensure that your investment today is not wasted because of data entropy or poor process management.
Why do we believe in our methodology? Because we’ve implemented it in the companies we worked for, the clients we serve, and it is how we would want our business to operate.
