Working with Jay and the Cultivate team has been such a great experience! Jay is always willing to jump in and help however he can, and I love how he brings fresh perspectives that have really opened my eyes and helped me think differently about things. He also goes the extra mile by tapping into his network and resources to provide even more support, which has been incredibly valuable. The extra care and insight I’ve received from Jay have made a real difference, and I couldn’t recommend them more!

Working with Stephanie from Cultivate Advisors has been exceptional. She brilliantly simplifies complex concepts and her organizational skills are top-notch. She's given me 100% confidence in achieving our business goals. While we're still working on team implementation of our new referral program, Stephanie's guidance has been invaluable. Highly recommend - 10/10 experience!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Colin Bowman from Cultivate Advisors for a training session aimed at strategizing for our 2025 sales and marketing campaign. From start to finish, Colin's expertise and guidance were invaluable. His tailored approach and deep understanding of sales and business development helped us refine our strategies and set clear, actionable goals for the year ahead.

Colin’s ability to connect with our team and provide practical insights made the entire experience both engaging and impactful. We left the training feeling more confident and equipped to drive our sales journey forward. The clarity and focus Colin brought to our meeting will undoubtedly play a significant role in the success of our campaigns this year.

We highly recommend Cultivate Advisors and Colin Bowman for any organization looking to take their sales strategy to the next level. Thank you, Colin, for your outstanding support and for helping us set the stage for a successful 2025!

Working with Cultivate Advisors was the best thing I have ever done for my businesses. My advisor was smart, honest, detailed and with me every step of the way. Our relationship lasted 6 years until we hit all our goals and had strong exit and profitable sale that we were hoping for. Would highly recommend for any owners looking to get support for growth, scale and improve their business.

I've had the pleasure of working with Mary Guarino from Cultivate Advisors. We've made amazing progress in the 60 days we've been working together and I can't wait to see what the future holds. Mary has been phenomenal. She is smart, caring, experienced, and has helped tremendously in getting my business moving in the right direction. I highly recommend Cultivate Advisors!

My partner Caroline and I have been working with the team at Cultivate Advisors for roughly a year and we have really enjoyed working with our advisor Rudy Franco. Rudy is thorough, thoughtful and an amazing resource to us and our team. Over this past 12 months we have slowed down from the day to day grind to look at business strategy, our overall organization and we've had some tough conversations to really try and create a better environment for our team and our customers. We appreciate the partnership and I cannot recommend Rudy enough. He cares on all levels. If you are looking to grow your business, bring it back to basics or prepare it to sell I'm pretty confident you will be impressed with the Cultivate team and method.

I've been working with Cultivate Advisors for two sessions, first the 3X Program and now CEO Roundtable. The program I've been working on with Spike has been remarkable. Spike is a business coach to me, literally bringing a Board member mentality by asking questions, providing motivation, and a moderate sense of accountability. All this work together has created a better foundation of success, growth, and enterprise value to my company of which I would give credit to Spike's leadership and the Cultivate Advisors program.

I am a huge fan of the entire team at Cultivate Advisors. Jay Cash has been working with me and my leadership team for about 6 months now and we've already seen notable changes in our business.

Jay is a consumate professional who knows exactly which areas of our business need the most attention. He then brings a fresh and valuable perspective on how to address those areas quickly and effectively. We finished 2024 up over 110% vs 2023 and we attribute much of that growth to the wisdom and guidance Jay has provided.

I've also had the privilege of interacting with many of the other leaders and advisors at CA and I've been equally impressed. Dan, Casey, Matt, Brad, Angi, Rudy, Autumn....I could go on and on. This is a top notch team!

If you are a business owner who one day wants to have a fulfilling and successful exit that helps you leave a real legacy, I highly recommend working with the team at Cultivate Advisors.
