highly recommend Great Lake Advisory to anyone looking to develop better tools to scale their SMB! We initially were seeking out a firm that had expertise in Trainual that could help us develop better training and onboarding tools for new reps.What we left our first engagement with was a new framework and tools for business planning I expect us to build upon for years to come. I’d describe working with Chris and his team as frictionless and extremely productive for our team!
