TESTIMONIALS
Abilita Communications Consulting Business Testimonials
Join a Voice, Data and Telecommunications Consulting Business Leader
I owned my own software business for over 20 years with over 40 employees at it peak. When I sold that business, I was required to work for the new owner for 3 1/2 years. After those experiences, I was left with certain goals for my new life.
1. I would not work for someone else.
2. I did not want to have employees.
3. I wanted to make a reasonable investment.
4. I required a return on investment within 18 to 24 months.
5. I looked for the ability to use my Marketing, client relationship and managerial skills while having other's additional skills and talent available to me within the organization.
My research showed that Abilita seemed to offer what I was looking for, and Abilita has proven to exceed my expectations. The multitude of talent available throughout the organization makes no project too difficult or too large, allowing me to still meet the requirements I set before joining Abilita.

Hello Rick, As my first year of successful business as an Abilita consultant comes to a close, I am pleased to provide several observations of our organization below.
Clearly the business model works. In the first year of operation I have secured twelve clients all on a contingency fee basis and enter year two with an income run rate of about $8000 per month. Savings realized by clients on their telecom services range between 20 and 50 percent. Without exception the clients all express positive comments on the results of our work.
I find TelcoRx to be a valuable tool. The TAR is an executive report that clearly describes for the client the benefits and value of our telecom expense optimization. The ability to save the “before” costs and track the ongoing contingency savings and generate invoices to clients is a great time saver and productivity tool. Ongoing enhancements, especially for mobility services, and technical support for the product are excellent.
The collaboration and information sharing among the Abilita associates is generous and informative. Any question or query presented to the group always receives multiple responses providing timely and accurate information. The diverse expertise and experiences of the individual consultants ensures a variety of perspectives on any issue under consideration.
With one year of experience behind me and a list of happy clients I anticipate the next twelve months to be equally if not more prosperous than the last.

This past week, I was in Orlando, Florida for the annual conference of one of my very favorite clients, Abilita, Inc.. As I am analyzing how successful teams change and perform for a grad school project, I couldn’t help but look at my client through this lens. Here are three key things I observed:
Strong, Unified Identity. Abilita has a very strong core identity, which is driven by their values. Without ever having seen their values statement, what I observe their values to be are: integrity, caring and compassion, interdependent, collaborative, ommunity, commitment, persistence, openness to new ideas, and purpose-driven. This manifests itself throughout virtually every interaction that I witness. As a result, this collective identity creates a sense of belonging. It also creates the desire to belong. One of the keys to successful team and organizational performance is a strong social identity group; they have this at their company. There is pride – and justly so! – in belonging to this group. Almost all companies talk about integrity; this company embodies it.
Strong, Compassionate Relationships. This is evident everywhere at this company. All anyone has to do is ask for help or ask a question and someone steps up to assist. You can tell how deep the relationships are. This is another critical success factor to change and high performance. Why? Relationships are one of the key ways that we are supported as we change and develop. Relationships are both a supportive resource and a source of information. Safe relationships allow us to try out new behaviors and practice to the point of mastery (not mere competence). Without such relationships, change is extremely difficult. They have created – and now enjoy – a very safe environment.
5:1 Ratio of Positive to Negative Interaction Patterns. Marcial Losada has done amazing research into high performing teams. His vast research shows that the highest performing teams have a ratio of 5:1 positive to negative interactions. What does positive and negative mean in this sense? Positive is language that focuses on the strengths and opportunities that are inherent within the system. Negative is a deficiency-focused language.
This doesn’t mean being a Pollyanna or never saying anything negative. In fact, the folks at this company have rich discussions where ideas are challenged and explored and expanded. There is a sense of curiosity and inquisitiveness, which serves to enrich the conversations. Importantly, the very act of being inquisitive versus judging and staunchly advocating creates an environment where performance can flourish. Does this mean that they always agree? No! They freely disagree; however, they disagree with the idea without denigrating the person. By contrast, some groups dismiss ideas or seek to prove why the idea – and the person – is wrong. This creates an environment that is not conducive to learning, brainstorming or growth.
While there are many factors that have contributed to their success, these are the three that stood out for me this year. This is their fifth year as a company and through their hard work, commitment and willingness to learn, they have created a powerful platform for future growth. They have created a launching pad for flourishing.
