“I grew my sales from $470,000 in 2012 to more than $2.5 million in 2015,” said Bruce Irvine, owner of Proforma Irvine Group, Smyrna, Ga., and member of Cleveland, Ohio-based Proforma’s Multi-million Dollar Club. “My sales were plateaued, and I knew I needed a new strategy if I wanted to achieve a new level of success. I decided to fully utilize the business development resources that Proforma offers and it changed my life. By engaging Proforma’s mergers and acquisitions program to start buying out my competition, I more than quadrupled my sales in less than three years. Proforma helped make my dream of entering the Multi-million Dollar Club a reality.”
“It’s truly a privilege to be recognized for our growth as we continue to expand every year, “said Chuck Hammond, CEO of Raining Rose Inc., Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Our employees are extremely committed to delivering the best results possible, and it shows.”
