About BJ Gordon and Company

BJ Gordon and Company
in Manchester, NH was founded in 2002 as a consulting firm to aid new companies and budding entrepreneurs with ideas that would keep them from making the largest business mistakes most start ups make.
1. Not seeing their business as an investment.
2. Not seeing their business as an independent structure
3. Trying to replace their job with a business.
There are some very clear reasons why one business owner can own and manage 100 or more stores and why one business owner can barely manage one.
The Department of Commerce says businesses organized with the mistakes above have only a 1% chance of lasting 10 years. But the DOC also says a company who does not make those mistakes and implements sound business processes or systems has a 75% chance of making it big.

Our mission is to put you in that 75 percentile range.

For close to 15 years our consultants have lent their knowledge and skills to the Fortune 500 and 1000 companies throughout New England and continue to do so today.
We urge you, the up-and-comer, to use us as an advisor for ideas and influence.
Your initial consultation (2 calls and 10 emails) is free. After that, if what you hear is helpful and you want to continue our talks, we charge $39.99 per month.
Other service fees come in when it's time to implement those ideas into real plans.

Core Services:

Business Process Management
Franchise Modeling:
Many entrepreneurs are mired in their business wondering what happened to
their time and energy.
What do you do when your business is managing you instead of you managing your business?
Production Modeling:
Spent any time inventing something great; something that's going to change
the world?
But when its ready to go into production you can't have engineers like you building them one at a time.
Understanding how to break down your creation into its most basic parts allows a greater access to labor and decreased costs with high output in production.
Risk Analysis:
Hiring a few people to perform multiple roles could cost you thousands to millions in losses.
Are you cutting your bottom line costs or cutting your throat?
Your company is a living thing. Understanding the process flow and how it is managed will minimize your company's risk of white collar crime.
History has shown that managers account for 75% of all internal crimes.
Remember the Bounty?
If you have placed a lot of duties on too few shoulders and the stress is high, it could be years before you feel the effect of your actions but when it occurs you will have little chance of stopping the blood flow.

Marketing/Tracking/Reporting
Your business must thrive and grow.
Be on the move forward or be left behind.
What's your strategy? What's your plan?
Do you collect too much data or too little?
What do you do with the data you collect?
Mining the diamonds under your feet may be as easy as opening your database and
forming trends that have been there all along.

Database Programing/Performance
Companies today need information faster than ever before.
Do your SQL Drivers, the men and women who program your database, have what it takes to cut run times or create complex data queries that give you the information you want?
Clear concise information that's up to the minute or not?
What do your people deserve?
