We had been very successful in our business until 3-4 years ago when business slowed down somewhat. Things were changing around us with foreign competitors, national competitors, the Internet, and variety of other things. Although business has gone well, we were overwhelmed and really did not know what to do. Anyone we asked just wanted too much money and just wanted to give us advice.
IntellaCore’s team was just a great group of people. They really worked quickly to identify the challenges we were facing and to help us understand our marketplace. They found a lot of opportunity too that we never saw. The most important part for us was the support and the implementation of what we needed to do. They found us the right people elsewhere in the USA, and also in Canada and Australia. We established business relationships and are now growing our business.
A pleasant surprise is how we are using the Internet! Everyone is so proud of what they are doing now as individuals, and as a company. IntellaCore showed us Internet services to build our buyer and supplier relationships. They made our website an effective tool as well to work with people and it is now a real business resource.
We now regularly communicate with people around the country and even in other countries using several communications services that have saved us money as well. IntellaCore’s team just really took the mystery out of this international and Internet mess and got us moving forward and taking advantage of the opportunities they present. And we are not afraid of the threats.

I recently spoke with Michael Malloy at IntellaCore. He's got it right.
He says "It is a simple fact that every company operates and competes in a global, and an internet, marketplace.
The answer is not to “Go Global.” The answer is to “Be Globally Competitive.”
His company IntellaCore engages small to large companies across the borderless environment of today’s intelligent, world economy. This makes all the sense in the world when oil is reaching $130+ a barrel. Michael is knitting together a great set of must-have tools for businesses working across borders; tools like Qmail, Ojo, Yugma, and CorePlayer.... with more to come. He is on the right track. Take a look at www.intellacore.com.

Our business was at a real crossroads when we came to IntellaCore. We were a traditional business based on book sales and other advising and training services. This meant we needed to travel all the time to present our services, and work through the logistics of selling and shipping our products. Finally, we did not understand the shape of our marketplace and how national or international factors were creating threats and opportunities for our business.
IntellaCore helped us to assess just what was going on in our industry, nationally and internationally. They identified important trends in how we could grow our business, and what technology and services could do this for us.
A professional team of good people then worked with us to implement their recommendations. The results have been noticeable. As an organization we have been able to reorganize ourselves to be efficient and effective. We enjoy using the Internet communications tools as well which has really grown our business and allowed us to do so much more than what we thought we could do with our size.
IntellaCore’s comprehensive Assessment informed us of the international opportunities we were not capitalizing on, and the main weaknesses of our business that we could improve on. With IntellaCore’s help, we were able to take advantage of innovative technology combined with globally competitive strategies to drive Freyvogel Inc. to a new level. Additionally, we now have access to excellent customers and quality partners. We could not have achieved such results in our previous situation. In fact, we would have missed the chance to grow and compete in the global marketplace altogether.
What we appreciate the most about IntellaCore was their ability to listen to feedback and act upon it quickly. IntellaCore was very responsive to the needs of our business. They worked with our team in a very capable, hardworking, and sincere way.
Thanks, IntellaCore, for providing valuable information and measurable results. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of your hard work."

“Just a note to let you know that it was so nice to meet and spend some time with you at the Workshop. It is great to meet people from other types of businesses and learn what their concerns are as well as my own. I think that your presentation was very good and gave me ideas as to how to approach foreign companies that may have scrap metal or possibly need other products that we carry. Thank you again for your help.”

What an amazing workshop! Taking the time to think about my business helped me to come up with new marketing ideas that will improve my website so it encourages potential clients to contact me. Global business really is next door.

“I enjoyed the workshop. It was nice to be in a setting to see how small business owners are attacking/not attacking the global market. As far as relevancy to my company in a whole; we have a global presence in Europe, Asia, and South America. For me it opened my eyes to try and make a more concerted effort to expand my markets globally and work together with our international team.”

“I believe that the workshop gave me a much broader perspective as to how our business can be made to grow. It gave me the idea to look further than the local arena for contacts and possible clients. By checking into the foreign companies working in the Pittsburgh area and Western Pennsylvania I can now meet people from those companies and have new avenues open up internationally. It also gave me ideas for our business to grow from within as well.”

“I thought the workshop was definitely informative. Info was well-organized, effectively presented. Good -- if only to confirm my own suspicions that international selling is not yet a feasible approach for us. (Just making sure there's nothing new out there.) The group is good, and if I were going to move in that direction, I would have every confidence in them.”
