How is your approach different from other coaches or consultants?

Unlike firms that focus on one part of the business, our clients benefit from access to a team of advisors with specialized expertise across all major areas of operations. We meet you where you are and, using our Sustained Profitable Growth™ model, help address leadership, people, processes, sales, and financial performance together. This allows businesses to make progress in a way that is realistic, well-rounded, and sustainable.

What does business coaching with Violand look like?

Coaching with Violand feels less like advice and more like having a trusted partner in your corner. You meet regularly with an advisor to set goals, review key metrics, and address challenges across leadership, operations, sales, and financial performance. The relationship is built on accountability and follow-through, so progress doesn’t stall when things get busy.

What types of training programs do you offer?

We offer a wide range of both online and in-person training for owners, managers, and teams. Our training is designed to give your team actionable skills and best practices they can use right away. In-person training includes Business Planning Retreats, Restoration Project Management, and The Violand Executive Summit. Online training includes Administrative Excellence, Frontline Closing Strategies, Management Development Program, Sales Accelerator Program, and Supervisory Training Program.

Do your training programs qualify for IICRC CECs?

Yes, the majority of our training programs qualify for IICRC continuing education credits. The number of credits varies by course, and full details are available on our Training Programs page.

Do you work with my industry?

We work with service-based businesses across a range of industries, including restoration and construction, cleaning and janitorial, plumbing, HVAC, concrete, and other home services. Our advisors have hands-on experience in these industries, which allows us to understand the real-world challenges owners and teams face and provide guidance that fits how your business actually operates.

Do you help with hiring, onboarding, and training?

Yes. We support clients throughout the hiring and development process. Our work includes role clarity and job descriptions, guidance on interviewing and selection, structured onboarding plans, and role-specific training. The goal is to help you bring the right people into the business and set them up to succeed.
