Who We Are:

Our consultant referral firm, Expert Access, makes sure busy executives like you “get the right consultant the first time” by matching one of our pre-screened professionals with your program and project needs.

What We Do:

We save you hours of interviewing and start-up time by accelerating your access to:

• Quality People:  O.D. consultants, trainers, facilitators, presentation skills coaches, speakers, executive coaches, web designers, e-learning experts …
• Results driven Programs:  executive, leadership and team development, talent management, change management, business and action learning simulations, sales, project management, diversity, marketing, lean manufacturing and TQM implementation…
• Resources for Project execution: global/multi-lingual, facilitation networks; assessment tools; curriculum/instructional design, 360º feedback, climate surveys, competency development, organization design, mentoring initiatives, e-learning, call center training…

Our consultants can deliver programs in the US or globally, in English or multi-lingually, and can roll out programs to large audiences as needed. They reflect a diversity of styles and backgrounds and many firms are women-owned. Because most are small to mid-sized firms, they provide a high level of customer service and can be flexible both in meeting your needs and in their pricing. Our clients consider them to be "best-in-class”.

There’s no extra charge for our services. Our consultants reduce their fees to us since we do sales, marketing, contracting, invoicing and client relationship management before, during and after our engagements.

How We Work With You:

Our mission at Expert Access is to make sure we exceed your expectations -- in our customer service, project management as well as in the consultants we introduce to you. 

We accomplish this by:

• Pre-screening all consultants we recommend to you.  We’ve often worked with or observed many of our consultants “in action” and do extensive reference checks before introductions are made.
• Attending initial meetings as introductions are made and projects are scoped out so that we're sure the final proposal reflects all your deliverables.
• Coordinating all meetings and conference calls for you with consultants.
• Managing your project and the billing process so that all phases of implementation are seamless.
