The reason clients choose to become certified is to increase their marketability with companies who have supplier diversity programs. “Typically, clients have told us they have been asked for a certification by their customers,” said Meghan Scheetz, VP and Certification Strategist, “One of the biggest issues is the amount of time it takes to gather the required documentation. Our clients have companies to run and we can usually help them with the application in as few as two or three one hour meetings.”

“Almost 40% of applicants who submit for certification are declined.” added Paul Schneider, President and Principal Business Strategist. “HIT Executive Consulting provides project management (allowing our clients to focus on their business), application and supporting documentation completion (for those missing documentation or having complex situations), coaching for the site visit and interview, and press releases after the certification, if desired.”

“The application process can take from 3-6 weeks, or longer and then another 60-90 days for the NWBOC, WBENC, NMSDC or other third party certifier to review it. On average, we are with our clients for 5-6 months total!”
