Enabling the Sales Force

Furmanite America

In the process of updating marketing messages and delivery mechanisms for Furmanite, an industrial repair and maintenance services company, Azure uncovered opportunities to enable the sales force to better cross-sell services and expand into new industries.

Tour de Profit

ActionCOACH Collin County, TX

When Rich Allen and Dennis Wagner, Texas affiliates of ActionCOACH business coaching, wanted to distinguish themselves from over 1,000 other franchisees around the globe, they chose Azure to help them pull away from the pack.

Seeking sales collateral to help more effectively communicate their service options, they asked for branding built around the theme “Tour de Profit,” a take on the renowned Tour de France cycling race.
