challenge
The biggest challenge was reassessing Wisdom Senior Care’s vision and rebranding the business with marketing strategies that worked for sales growth. Too much of the operation’s work was still being handled by the owner, which meant that the team members were lost in the concrete vision of the company. Proper financial data was also not available, and decisions could only be made after a thorough analysis of all the required data. The situation was holding Wisdom Senior Care back. The owner knew her company could corner more of the market if they could get professional help in growing the business. The work addressed three critical issues for Wisdom Senior Care:
