Frequently Asked Questions

About AnchorOps Consulting

1. What does AnchorOps Consulting do?
AnchorOps Consulting helps small to midsized businesses strengthen operations, improve processes, control costs, and grow revenue and margin. We provide practical, measurable solutions customized to your unique business needs.

2. What industries do you specialize in?
We focus on operations-heavy industries such as manufacturing, field services, energy, and industrial services — but our process improvement and cost control strategies can benefit any business with complex operations.

3. What makes AnchorOps different from other consulting firms?
We’re hands-on partners. We don’t just hand you a report — we work with your team to implement solutions, train staff, and establish sustainable practices that keep delivering results long after we’re gone.

About the Consulting Process

4. What happens in the initial consultation?
The first consultation (typically under one hour) is a discovery meeting where you share your biggest challenges, current strategies, and goals. This helps us understand your business and outline how we can help.

5. How long does a typical project last?
It depends on your needs. Some projects take a few weeks (like process audits or quick cost analyses), while broader operational transformations or standardization efforts may span several months.

6. Will you work on-site or remotely?
We do both. We often start with remote meetings and data reviews, then schedule on-site visits for process observations, staff interviews, and training as needed.

Your Role as a Client

7. What do you expect from us during a project?
Your input and transparency are key. We’ll need you to provide access to relevant data, introduce us to team members, and stay engaged throughout the process to ensure solutions are practical and effective.

8. Who will be our main point of contact?
You’ll work directly with an experienced consultant who leads your project from start to finish. We believe in clear, direct communication — no hand-offs, no confusion.

9. How do you protect our business information?
Your trust is critical. We sign NDAs when needed and handle all proprietary and sensitive data with strict confidentiality.

Getting Started

10. How do we know if consulting is right for us?
If you feel you’re losing time or money to inefficiencies, lack visibility into operations, or want to grow but aren’t sure how — a consultation is worth it. Our initial consultations are free, and only cost you time. Once engaged in full projects, many clients discover quick wins that pay for the engagement many times over.
