"We've had a dynamic, growing, profitable company for years. But as a result of our last strategic deep-dive, just one year ago, Dan has helped us codify our culture, energize our team, optimize our workflow, strengthen our business partnership, and really help our leadership go to a whole new level. We've also seen our margins skyrocket by 10 points, trimmed our overhead, and cash flow has never been stronger. If you're a business owner that wants to go to the next level, Dan's tools and coaching provides the clarity essential to growth."
– CEO, Consumer Cyclical industry
“Working with Dan Viall has strengthened our leadership roles as business partners, given us scalable systems and processes to execute at a high level, and propelled our business forward. Our Strategic Deep Dive experience produced renewed energy toward the future, the clarity to go to the next level, and immediate results. His strong mix of both strategic thinking and winsome coaching is unique in the marketplace, and the key reason we strongly recommend him to other business owners wanting to jump to the next level of growth.”
– Partner, Client Services industry
"Our mid-market Executive Team needed guidance leaning into a new season of accelerated growth. Dan's Strategic Deep Dive and Momentum Experience provided invaluable insights, identifying the drivers of past success, while appropriately challenging us to shift our paradigm and playbook towards our new season of growth. Dan's expertise in multi-market strategy at an operational layer gave us the clarity and momentum we needed for a clear path forward."
- COO, Mid-market Industrial
“Before Dan joined our leadership team as a fractional integrator, we had a lot of ambition but lacked alignment on a clear path forward. While we shared a general sense of where we wanted to go, each leader had their own perspective on how to get there, and we didn’t have a concrete plan to guide our efforts. Dan’s ability to bring alignment, clarity, and focus to our leadership team has been transformative. He asked the tough questions we needed to answer, created a structured framework to define our 3-5 year goals, and guided us through building a realistic, actionable plan to achieve them.
What sets Dan apart however is his unique mix of strategic expertise and practical accountability—he doesn’t just hand over advice; he walks alongside our team every week to ensure progress. Since working with Dan, we’ve gone from spinning our wheels to moving forward together with purpose. Our meetings are focused, our goals are aligned, and we’re actually executing on the initiatives that will drive over $50M in growth. For any founder who feels their leadership team is too busy to take on a process like this or is unsure if it's worth it, I can confidently say that the clarity, alignment, and momentum Dan brings are invaluable. The investment of time and energy has already paid off in ways we didn’t expect.”
- Chief Marketing Officer, Mid-Market Data Analytics
“When I was introduced to Dan, we had a leadership team that was very new to the company and new to working together. We were high on enthusiasm but unsure about how to prioritize goals, hold each other accountable, etc. Dan joined our leadership team as a fractional integrator and helped us refine our strategy and ‘how we win’. As a group, we aligned on a weekly cadence focused on solving problems and mutual accountability. Dan accelerated the growth of our leadership team and vaulted us months ahead on our growth timeline, far beyond what we would have been able to do without his leadership.”
Two hallmarks of leadership are ‘simplify’ and ‘clarify’. Dan has a gift of weaving those two tenets into the strategy, goals, and messaging of your leadership team. I recommend Dan to any company that is serious about building a stronger leadership team and fueling organizational growth.”
- Operating Partner & CEO, PE-backed Manufacturing
"Six years into building a business from the ground up, I hired Clear Compass to help me develop long term goals and a strategic game plan to arrive there as quickly and efficiently as possible. Within one year, Dan had equipped me to double our sales and raise our net profit margin by 15%. Our cash flow has never been better. If I ever build another organization, he will be by my side from day one."
– CEO/Owner, Client Services industry
“I have hired Dan six or more times to help various for-profit and non-profit leadership teams gain clarity - deploying their vision into action steps for the next “hill.” Every time, we gain the clarity we are seeking and begin accelerating as an aligned team.”
- Serial entrepreneur, Commercial Real Estate
"My partners and I hired Clear Compass to help us navigate some complex succession planning conversations at a key inflection point for our firm. We've worked with a number of outside advisors, but none brought the level of natural rapport, keen insight, and winsome challenge that Dan did. I'm so glad we had him walking alongside us and encouraging us through this transition and beyond. I'm really grateful not only for his knowledge and wisdom, but for the heart he brought to all of it as well. I would definitely recommend reaching out."
- Managing Partner, Professional Services
"Dan is helping take our company to another level. His insight and strategic analysis are a perfect fit for our young organization. I would recommend him to any entrepreneur who is striving for excellence. I wish I had his insight four years ago.”
– President, Commercial Real Estate Firm
"After running a successful business for over 10 years, I engaged Clear Compass to analyze the company and help take our team to the next level. Dan is in the business of creating "ah-ha" moments for business owners, and in just a few short sessions, we gained real clarity and saw immediate impact. While many advisors just talk, or waste your time with "fill-in-the-blank" consulting culminating in a pretty notebook but no real results, Dan has this unique ability to go straight to the missing link that will give you the results you knew were possible but always seemed just out of reach. He gives you a focused and simple plan that is immediately actionable, and has brought huge upside to both morale and our bottom line."
- CEO, Wholesale Distribution industry
"When we first became engaged, my business was controlling me.. my time, my income, my team. In just 18 months, Dan helped reignite my passion for founding this company, redefined my definition of success, and equipped me with the insight and tools to truly lead this company. Our business is now up over 80% and my team feels led, challenged, and empowered. I will be forever grateful for our time together, as it’s not a trajectory I would have achieved on my own, nor with any other mentor/coach I know."
– CEO/Co-Founder, Client Services industry
"For starters, Dan is an incredible listener... and that’s the beginning of being able to provide great counsel. In a short period of time, he totally grasped the complexity of our company’s current position and where I as the founder wanted to go over the next season, both personally and professionally. He then has a unique ability to take all that information and create a clear path forward, with actionable next steps. He focuses on several "big ideas" (levers) rather than giving a list of 100 things to do — which was exactly what we needed. If you are looking for someone who will truly listen to both your dreams and pain points, and then help map out the key steps to get there, then you will benefit greatly from Dan’s leadership."
- Founder, national sports agency
"Dan Viall quickly saw me as a wholly unique individual and had the keen ability to cut through my personal BS. He has been incredibly helpful to me as a galvanizing visionary and business owner, specifically in the areas of visioning, discovery, and helping me know exactly what to focus on next for my growing businesses. Dan is one in a million, and if you want to drive into the tens of millions without losing your soul or marriage in the process, Dan is the man who gets my full-throated endorsement. Good luck!!!”
- Serial entrepreneur, Specialty Manufacturing, Retail, Wholesale
“Dan has a unique ability to create "ah-ha moments" every time we're together. From identifying your unique type of leadership strengths, to highly-focused discovery questions that clarify your thinking, Dan has a rare ability to synthesize key objectives and that help both me and my business grow. He is a highly gifted and unique growth consultant I feel lucky to have found.”
