How do you survive a business partnership?  How do you improve a husband and wife business team?  How do you make a family business more harmonious and productive?  

These guys know close relationships in business.  

Many business coaches are solo acts. Adam Sonnhalter and Jack Mencini of Maximum Value Partners (MVP) meet and work with their clients as a team. “Two bald guys are better than one,” they say.  

A lot of business coaches will focus on larger companies. MVP works ONLY with small businesses, and it’s been that way since the pair teamed up in 2003. Their “partnership” goes back to the days at a country club when Adam was a caddie and Jack a wannabe scratch golfer.  

Ironically, MVP takes a caddy-like approach when working with its clients (think more Bagger Vance than Caddyshack’s Danny Noonan). Their MVP strategy involves helping clients navigate the 7 Keys to Success, the 3 Circles and getting unstuck from endless “how” questions. This formula has elevated the games of businesses ranging from landscapers to IT consultants, body shops to marketing firms.  

Listen to this episode and get a good sense of what it means to be coached not coddled.
