Surgery practice hits the ground running

Alaska Pediatric Surgery started as a one-doctor practice with a small staff in 2014. Senthold set up the infrastructure to manage the finance, operations, human resources and marketing. “I found the Senthold team to be very professional and accommodating in every interaction,” shares Dr. Roaten. “Despite the three hour time difference, working together has been so easy.”

Therapy Group Poised for Growth

Chris has a unique way of solving problems – he’s very good at looking at the big picture and then honing in on what to do today in order to get there. By partnering with Senthold we implemented a system far more quickly than if we had tried to piece it all together ourselves, therefore alleviating the pain point much faster and without the hassle. Having these new processes in place puts us in a better position to expand the business if we wanted to open another location – we now have what we need to grow.

FORMER SERVICE MEMBER REALIZES STARTUP DREAMS

I knew I was an expert at surgery, but I’m not an expert at business. I wanted things done right the first time – I didn’t have time for trial and error – so I needed an expert in that field. Chris is not only an expert in business, but he is an outgoing, positive guy. He has a very confident air about him, but he is also approachable and personable – he feels like a friend right away. I would highly recommend working with Chris and Senthold if you have a solid business plan and are ready to partner up with a team who can take your dreams to the next level.

CREATIVE CONSULTING FOR ‘GROWING’ BUSINESS

The time that we have spent with Chris Williams has resulted in many positive changes in our company. He helped us to define our purpose and determine how we would like to brand our business. Chris challenged us to rethink the processes of our business and helped us clarify the different roles of our employees, which have proven to be very positive (and profitable). Chris pushed us way out of our comfort zone as we learned what it means to be leaders and not just managers.

Partnering with Senthold has been a wonderful experience

I have worked with Chris to place Virtual Assistants (VAs) with his company, Senthold. Chris came to us looking for help with his bookkeeping, marketing, and administrative tasks, but also for long-term, committed team members that could provide the high level of expertise and skill sets that his clients have come to expect. After successfully placing one VA, Chris’ business continued to grow, and we have placed more VAs to meet his expanding needs. The assistants have become an integral part of his team. Chris made it so easy to place the VAs by clearly communicating his needs and responding quickly to interview requests. His cordial demeanor and professionalism helped our VAs to feel comfortable right from the start and his training allowed them to really hit the ground running. Partnering with Senthold has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to continuing our professional relationship well into the future.

Chris’ advisory role was invaluable

Chris’ advisory role at Graph Story during our company’s launch was invaluable. His insight and guidance helped us set a path towards growth. Chris’ problem-solving skills and focus are amazing, but the energy & enthusiasm he brings to every discussion is what truly sets him apart. I absolutely recommend working with Chris.
