Sandra

Absafe, a safety and risk management company, first engaged with Ecco Consultants in May 2023.

The goal was to enhance both personal and business performance through strategic guidance and support.

My Home Connect
Home Security & Automation Systems
Raam Siva
Managing Director of My Home Connect
We wouldn't be where we are today without Ecco Consultants helping us. Frank Colli and his team challenge our thinking, which makes us look at things in different ways. They do this in a nice way rather than taking a confrontational approach and that has been really beneficial.
Key Wins
Strategic Thinking & Decision-Making
My typical style is fast paced, which means I can jump into decisions quite quickly. Ecco Consultants has taught me to take a step back, look at all the facts and work out strategies before jumping into decisions. That's been very helpful and is making me grow personally.
Hands-On Expertise & Support
Because Frank and Carolynne have the experience in growing a start-up to a national $280 million business with 330 staff, they really can walk the talk. Unlike other consultants, they will get their hands dirty and be with you in the trenches.
Recruitment & People Management
Carolynne is extremely insightful as she sees things that most people wouldn't see, particularly when it comes to people. Her expertise in the recruitment process is invaluable, screening and assessing candidates to ensure we have higher retention and increased productivity.
Aligned Values & Mutual Trust
Our ethos in business is very similar to Ecco Consultants as we both aim to add value for our clients. Frank and his team truly add value. The key is a lot of mutual trust and also, we simply like them as people.
Impact on Business
Personal & Business Growth: Developed strategic thinking and decision-making capabilities
Improved Team Retention: Better recruitment processes and people management
Scalable Systems: Built systems that support sustainable growth
OmniVision
Commercial Surveillance & Security Systems
Manoj Jayasuriya
Managing Director of OmniVision
We've been in business for 15 years and it's only in the past year or so that we've started working with Ecco Consultants. The positive changes to OmniVision have been spectacular. We value and trust them so unreservedly that our team members even have Ecco business cards.
Key Wins
Strategic Decision-Making
In virtually every major decision making process, Frank will assess it, particularly from a sales and business perspective and challenge our thinking to make sure we've covered every angle.
Marketing & People Excellence
Carolynne is brilliant on the marketing and people side, bringing a wealth of expertise that has transformed how we approach these critical areas of the business.
Financial Strategy & Growth
Graham is a financial whiz. Through new strategies based on strong financial stability, we are now on a growth trajectory that was unattainable with our previous advisors.
Personal Development & Skill Building
The difference with Ecco Consultants is that they have done it and they know how to teach us using a formal comparative rating system. It's really helped me develop personally and improve my skills and abilities.
Impact on Business
Spectacular Business Transformation: Positive changes across all areas of the business
Growth Trajectory: Now on an unattainable growth path with previous advisors
Trusted Partnership: Such confidence that Ecco team members have company business cards
Wattrix Electrical Contracting
Electrical Contracting, Asset Maintenance & Services
Adam Farrugia
Managing Director of Wattrix Electrical Contracting
Before we engaged Ecco Consultants, as a typical small business with around 10 employees, we were all working very long hours. While the business was growing in terms of sales, profits remained stagnant, and I couldn't see an end to this energy-sapping cycle.
Key Wins
Business Clarity & Direction
Frank and Carolynne helped us to understand what our real business differentiator is, what offerings to focus on and identify our target markets. I became clear on the company vision and understood the importance of having the right staff with the right skillsets.
Team Transformation & Staff Engagement
Carolynne did one-on-ones with each staff member to uncover anything that was stopping them from being efficient. Job descriptions and a marketing plan were created. Everyone was involved in this training and the clarity we achieved was extraordinary.
Hands-On Implementation
Ecco Consultants became part of our team holding our hand along the way, showing us how to make these changes, then backing out and mentoring us from the side. They were involved at every step.
Profitability & Work-Life Balance
The final outcome is that we have managed to move our company forward resulting in more sales, greater profits and our staff are now engaged and committed. Most importantly, we finally have work-life balance.
Impact on Business
Sales Growth: Achieved significant increase in sales revenue
Profit Improvement: Profits growing alongside sales for the first time
Team Engagement: Staff now engaged and committed to the business
