Curphy Smith, Owner / business and management Consultant

I have a had a long and successful career in banking.  I am a former COO/CFO of an 8 figure  international e-commerce and distribution company; owner of a few businesses; created, managed, and led very successful sales teams;  and I have worked with business owners and business of all sizes for my entire career as a business and management consultant where I have made my clients millions in top line revenue and profits!

I am not some Social Media guy who bought into some fancy business guru process you find on the internet then fly out to Vegas over a long weekend to be certified an expert on the key to success.

In fact, the only thing I am an expert of is that I'm an avid student of business, sales, finance, and life. 

My certifications comes from not only someone who has seen and done it, but also from someone who has also failed at it.

However, in case you were wondering, I have a BS from Eastern Illinois University,  presently obtaining my 

iMBA from the University of Illinois, and I have certifications in Understanding Financial Statements: Company Position, Financial Accounting: Advanced Topics,  Fundamentals of Performance Evaluations, and Financial Accounting: Foundations from the University of Illinois as well.  I obtained a Yellow Belt in Six Sigma from the University System of Georgia. I have completed courses in Awareness and CashCOR,  Credit Risk Identification,  Initial Credit Education Curriculum, Uncovering Cash, and the  Omega Performance Financial Accounting for Lenders. Northwestern University has certified me in Organizational Leadership Structure and  West Virginia University has given me a certificate in Forensic Accounting. I am a QuickBooks Pro Advisor and I have a certification as a Social Media Marketing Professional as well as a Digital Marketing "Blueprint Certificate" from Facebook.  I have attended and graduated from the Cohen Brown Extraordinary Sales Leadership training program and received the  MZ Bierly Sales Management Certification.

Now that we have critiqued my resume let me tell you about business. When it comes to business, the one reoccurring theme I have discovered, especially as a business consultant, is in every one of the businesses that I have worked with, for, and with my own past experiences is that every one of the owner's, including myself, didn't know what they didn't know. 

Additionally,  every one of them, including myself,  was too prideful to admit that they DIDN'T KNOW!

For what it's worth, as I mentioned, you, they, and I  are not alone. My own pride and ego would and has prevented me from admitting this, and I would refuse help when I was struggling with my own performance,  personal issues, team projects, or leadership.

I would never EVER ask for help, so when I was struggling, I just simply put my nose to the grind and tried to pound it out myself.

How stupid and insane was that?

I and many people want and expect different results but we continue to bang our heads against the wall over and over expecting something different.

It's frustrating and as I reflect back on my banking career, I witnessed so many other owners and business leaders  sharing this same issue.

In fact it was a dilemma that was a reoccurring theme that negatively impacted their sanity, health, relationships, business and their brands.

Here is the truth:

- If you knew how to grow your business, you'd already have done it.  

- If you knew how to improve your profits to over $1M,  your anxiety would be nonexistent.

- If you knew how to make better financial decisions with better information you wouldn't be googling my website.

- If you knew how to  manage or lead, you wouldn't have drama and better employee retention in your workplace.

- If you knew how to have a high performing sales team, you'd have already created it.

You can pretend you know everything about BUSINESS, FINANCE, SALES, SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING, LEAD GENERATION, etc. 

but the TRUTH is YOU DON'T.

But you are GREAT at MAKING EXCUSES on why your business or you are not where you want it!

That is why I created ACS Executives. 

I want to help you the fastest way possible to get the results you desire and NEED. 

HOW?

It is simple. 

WE SHOW, COACH, OR DO FOR YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO BE DOING.

Think about it, you don't ask a doctor to change the oil in your car, you have a mechanic do it for you!  

You don't seek a medical diagnoses from your attorney, you get it from a doctor! 

You don't ask a plumber to fix your roof, you get a roofer!

I created ACS Executives to help you in almost every facet of your business, whether it be to grow revenues, improve profits, obtain capital or create more success, we can help you.

I have a team of financial, sales, and marketing experts, and hundreds of processes and resources that will help you accomplish what you want most...

It doesn't matter if you are an established business  or just getting started, a failing business or successful business.

EVERYONE WANTS MORE SUCCESS! 

- More revenue.

- More sales leads.

- More profits.

- More capital.

Maybe you are asking "well why should I listen to you Curphy?"

I have made and lost millions.

I have structured and obtained financing for million dollar projects and have also been denied.

I have battled depression and anxiety.

I have  succeeded and I have failed miserably.

I have managed and built companies that all did over $10,000,000 annually.

I have worked with a company that did $1,000,000 a week in sales.

I have spoken in front of thousands of people. 

I have employed 100's of people over the past 20 years.

I do not share the theory or ever say "HEY LET'S TRY THIS, AND LET'S SEE IF IT WORKS."

I teach a methodology that provides the best ROI possible and processes that WORK!  

And how do I know it works?  

BECAUSE I HAVE PERSONALLY DONE IT  THROUGH SUCCESS AND FAILURE. 

You might be thinking "what do you know if you have failed at some of these things?"

This is true. 

However, I will help you to try and avoid those mistakes I did or have already seen.

The truth is the people that have never FAILED have never taken a risk or a chance.  

But the people with the most experience and most REAL education are the people who stepped up to the plate and took some swings!
