Ideas in Motion Testimonials

“We are finding that most every company could be a successful client. Our work includes developing business plans for new market segments or new products for a company; raising a bit of capital; sales, marketing, and PR related work for a variety of companies; sales training, e-mail marketing, a lot of strategic development work; and competitive analysis work. The variety of clients and work has made it fascinating. We have learned quickly that there are firms that wish for better performance, and there are firms that work for better performance, and we can clearly and quickly help those who are committed to success.

Our key product is a very objective and very candid evaluation of the situation. No matter how good the folks inside the company are, they cannot match the perspective that comes from being outside the process. Essentially, unless the firm is running 100% perfectly and reaching every measure of success possible, which zero are, including my own, any firm is a good fit for what we have to offer.”

Chris Mahlmann
President

Motivation Quotation

"Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to."

Greg Anderson

"Nothing is more harmful to the service, than the neglect of discipline; for that discipline, more than numbers, gives one army superiority over another."

George Washington

"I find that a great part of the information I have was acquired by looking up something and finding something else on the way."

Franklin P. Adams

"I don't have to wait until the next morning to regret something I did that was kinda dumb."

Testimonials From Our Clients

Joe Cunningham

"We needed to reach top-tier decision makers in the largest organizations in the financial products and services industry. These are people who are extremely difficult to get in front of. We engaged Ideas in Motion for marketing help, and began with a very narrowly defined engagement.

The IIM people were great and Chris Mahlmann, the firm’s president, spent a lot of time with us. IIM began by mapping out a global marketing plan that didn’t leave a stone unturned. The process they walked us through forced us to answer questions that opened our eyes as to exactly what our marketing message should be and defined exactly who our target market was. It was an incredible learning experience..."

Jim O'Callaghan
Managing Director
A C R, Inc.

"My experience with Chris has been primarily with sales and marketing related projects specifically in recruiting an executive level sales person/manager.

Chris is wise, focused and very attentive to detail! I admittedly am not a patient person and expect the people I work with to have the same passion and drive as I do. I think I've finally found my match when it comes to another A type personality! As a business owner I am very result orientated and expect people to deliver results quickly and without excuses..."

Piers Fallowfield-Cooper
Founder
Mind-Star Executive Development Ltd

"When I decided to establish my own business after many years as a senior executive in a corporate setting, Chris was instrumental in encouraging me to take the first step that led to a journey to one of the happiest and most fulfilling times in my professional life. He helped me analyze that which was really important to me, that which I was trying to achieve and assisted me in focusing on my true strengths. He challenged me to dream boldly and to "go for it". I strongly recommend Chris to any business owner whether they have a mature established operation or are just starting on the journey. His drive and enthusiasm linked with insights and thoughtfulness will be of great value."

"I've worked alongside -- and eventually for -- Chris for more than ten years. He is a real leader, with tremendous energy and enthusiasm, and goes to great lengths to bring those qualities out from whoever he’s associated with. Chris leads by example, and is extremely creative, continually finding ways to market products and build relationships that drive sales. You want him on your team!"
