Profit Growth International, LLC commences operations. Rewards powered by Maritz Motivation

Aug. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- New York –  A powerful new resource for small and mid-size businesses is announced today.  Three distinctly different companies have joined forces to offer a broad platform of services that help small and mid-sized companies evolve and achieve long-term success in today’s challenging economy. Performance Improvement systems long used to advantage global companies - now available and affordable for the small to mid-sized market.

Profit Growth International, LLC, a performance improvement and business services firm, Strategy Leaders, Inc., a business improvement consultancy, and Maritz Motivation Solutions., a leader in performance improvement rewards and incentives, are combining their expertise to offer a comprehensive curriculum of analysis, planning, strategy, management, and performance improvement incentives and rewards tools which enable a company to improve the performance of every critical business function.

Andi Gray, President of New York-based Strategy Leaders will serve as CEO of the new company operating under the Profit Growth International (PGI) name.  Says Gray; “Strategy Leaders has a proven track record of client successes over two decades as a proprietary consulting model designed to isolate detailed business intelligence and implement a system of financial dashboards for client and business management.  By adding the performance improvement elements of PGI and the unmatched rewards and incentives capabilities of Maritz Motivation Solutions, PGI can now offer a complete business improvement model which has previously been unavailable.”

Using a proprietary curriculum, PGI works with each client to build customized short, mid and long-term action steps, growth maps and exit strategies, and to implement the fundamentals of a well-run and successful business across every key business function including Sales, Administration, Marketing, Human Resources, Operations and Finance.  The PGI curriculum includes a structured program of tightly focused meetings, action oriented reports, and real-world business plan templates, to accomplish a business owner’s goals and to drive small business success.  

Using the industry’s premier incentive and reward collection powered by Maritz Motivation Solutions, PGI’s performance improvement programs tie real and measurable achievements to meaningful rewards and incentives.  According to Jill Eichwald of Maritz Motivation Solutions in St. Louis, “Including rewards in a performance improvement solution is a proven strategy to engage employees and align them with a company’s goals.  Maritz Motivation Solutions has provided performance improvement solutions to major US and global companies for many decades.  We look forward to delivering these same best-in-class rewards and fulfillment services through Profit Growth International.”

PGI will operate initially from offices in metropolitan New York and St. Louis, Missouri, but anticipates rapid geographic expansion as demand continues to increase for business improvement solutions which help businesses evolve and adapt to today’s challenging economic conditions.
