Consulting Testimonials

Criss is an innovative & creative genius who translated my diverse goals into over 60 bite-size strategies in fifteen areas. After our 5 year business plan was executed, I learned the importance of spending more time working on my business than in my business. Eclectic Tech helped us develop affordable ideas & solutions to fuel our 6th-10th year in business without a significant cash outlay in less than two hours. Criss - you are a strategic alliance who will help us remain competitive & float above the ongoing challenges of our marketplace. THANK YOU!
--Melanie Richards, Prisms Promotions

Criss Ittermann is incredible with her creativity, out of the box thinking and helping you utilize your resources and grow your business. As my website person she took my website from an online brochure to a store front. Without her help and guidance I never would have been able to develop and set up my new audio and video seminar series that I will continue to expand. She helps you look at possibilities and opportunities that you would not recognize on your own. She has been an integral part of my business growth today and for the future. She has become one of my strategic partners not just my "website person". I would recommend her service to anyone who is looking for new ways to grow and expand your business.
--Cynthia Marsh-Croll, Croll Organizing, LLC

I am so grateful to you for the brainstorming session. It helped me to focus more clearly on the direction I want my business to take and gave me some suggestions that I had not considered. I would highly recommend the sessions to anyone starting a new business or interested in new directions for an existing business. Thank you for helping me think "outside the box."
--Sharon Donaldson, I Baked

Now that I am preparing and gathering information for our [consultation] meeting, it is FINALLY beginning to make sense what I am doing, and how to do it. Once you told me to situate info and projects by month, my ah ha moment clicked in. We did not have our meeting yet, and already you have helped me, and I feel more organized.
