David has been a phenomenal resource as I have embarked on building an Executive Coaching business…read more Lots of very positive energy, helpful suggestions and strategic framing on business development and marketing. I highly recommend David for support in framing out a new business idea and ensuring that you are focusing on the right things at the start. Five stars all the way!

I called David today, after going through a rough patch yesterday when my small business was…read moretemporarily banned from Mailchimp. I realized it was time for some outside assistance. I can't rely 100% on my own limited experience. David Mitroff (the man in the picture) was extremely generous with his time over the phone. I told him abt a potentially risky sales contract I was considering. He took at least 20 minutes to go over with me how I can mitigate that risk and what I should do to prepare for negotiation. He did not have to do that. But he wanted to make sure I didn't get scr3w3d over. He didn't want to see me fail. For that reason, Piedmont Avenue will be the first place I come to once I'm ready for a deeper strategic conversation and more hands-on assistance. Will update once I have more to say. Thanks David!

Elliot Benson offers a fun and unique way to earn extra cash through paid market research…read moreopportunities. By signing up, they'll occasionally email you short surveys to find prospective parties for their mock juries or research opportunities. Parking is typically fairly easy to find for studies held at their office in downtown Sacramento. They always provide compensation promptly and there's typically a drawing for those who arrive early for the opportunity to earn extra money. I've done a number of studies with them over the years and always look forward to participating. I've enjoyed all of them but the mock juries are always particularly interesting to me.

First project I was accepted into, they called and canceled, citing something wrong on the client's…read moreside. Today, I am on the schedule for 10 minutes from now but my email says I was supposed to get a confirmation call 3 days before AND 1 day before. I received NEITHER. I did, however, receive a voicemail from THE SAME PROJECT MANAGER LADY inviting me to the same study in 4 days, almost as though they have no clue I'm already scheduled. I'm guessing nobody will be showing up to my house in 10 minutes except the partner i was supposed to be working with, who drove 30 minutes to get here to participate, who I'll them have to send home. How incredibly rude. I am BEYOND not happy with elliot benson research and how they run things with their participants.

I came here for a conference and the space was great! I really appreciated it. We were able to…read morespeak and be heard. I thank them for hosting us. So, the four stars is because the doorman wasn't downstairs and I (and a few others) had a heck of a time leaving the building. Once I realized that I needed to push the disabled entrance/exit button, it was fine. But I felt a bit stuck. I appreciated the security, but as someone on a coffee run, I wanted to be able to exit and enter quickly. Also, they have a notice not to talk on the phone in the hallway and they meant it. This is fine, however, I wasn't aware of that. They should have had a note telling us where to go. Was the 2nd or 4th floor OK? Should we have gone outside or just downstairs? It's hard to understand how a lone voice on a phone can throw people off so much. Context please!

President Robbie Hunter is one of the most trusted (and feared) Labor leaders in the state of California...for good reason. The group is governed by an executive board that is made up of labor leaders from every area and every construction craft in California. They also have a lobbying arm run by Cesar Diaz, one of the most successful lobbyists at the California State Capitol. As log as these folks are supporting the men and women in the field, the construction industry is in good hands!

Didn't finish the job, demanded payment and then wouldn't meet to fix the issue…read more Then wanted a 10% late fee having still not finished and them removed the site and threatened legal action. The thing is that he never transferred the domain and messed up our email in the process. He charged us hosting he didn't even do, then disrespected us about it. I took over for an old manager/owner and this was how was I treated from day 1. Thing is we were willing to pay.

In this environment, the CEO seemed to have remained cooler than a cucumber while juggling so many people and tasks simultaneously. I'll make sure to refer friends and businesses over to Luke Shawver.
