The start of the year was met with new connections at the Tenant Advisory Group’s Executives Breakfast and Executives Luncheon. Owners and decision makers from a wide-range of industries came together to build their networks and learn how they can work together to grow their business.
At the breakfast, a lot of great responses were shared based on the discussion question: what is the largest transformation your company has been through? Here are a few responses.
Matt Green, Founder, VentureScale: We work with growth based VC-backed companies to help scale early stage companies, and so we launched a sales accelerator. We saw the need and addressed it.
Mike LaVista, CEO, Caxy: We had one client who was 50% of our business, and they stopped the engagement. We had to restructure the company and going forward made sure no single client made up more than 25% of our revenue. That has helped to stabilize our business.
Bob Goodman, President, ForteONE: Our business was in constant strategic transformation, and we set out to create more repeat, continual business. We built out a process to grow each service line in a thoughtful way, and it all started with who we were talking to.
Thank you to all who attended!

Ten years ago, Tenant Advisory Group was founded to bring value to clients and partners, regardless of the need for a real estate transaction. In addition to being a highly experienced commercial brokerage firm, TAG’s mission was to be high-level connector and supporter to those who crossed our path. The company accomplishes its client support and best-in-class service by consistently demonstrating three core values: being responsive, following through and placing the client’s best interests first.
For the last 10 years, TAG has strived to provide partners with year-round support by referring business and creating strategic connections with value-adding professionals. Whether the client is large or small, TAG consistently outperforms its competition by delivering the best deal terms to its clients through these core values. When the team saves a client 25 percent on real estate costs, that is 25 percent the client can reinvest in their own business. TAG has not only been able to survive these last 10 years, but has thrived and grown.
The Tenant Advisory Group team is extremely thankful for our clients, partners and team and we look forward to the next 10 years of working for our clients’ best interests.
