"The wisest decision we made was to partner with Denise Bean-White and her team at Consortium. CM+PR has been our partner since the day we opened our doors. We immediately implemented their suggested "5 Pillar" approach in an effort to get our business up and running. While we saw immediate results, the 5 Pillars began to set us up for long term success."
