The best business plans I have ever seen!
- K.A., SEC & Business Attorney
... we have been putting the business plan you helped with, into action. We've been growing at about 70% a year, up to 12 employees this year, and we took over that entire building you visited, this year. So - if anyone is thinking about putting together a business strategy with Tory, I highly recommend her :)

I think the best way to explain our experience with Tory is to give you a description of the assignment we gave her. Our particular project involves creating a professional business plan we can deliver to the big players in the interactive advertising industry. We are not looking for venture capital, as the term is defined these days, but rather a joint venture investment in deploying our suite of inventions. To a great extent, our inventions are very innovative, going beyond what is common knowledge. Overall, it is very difficult for any person who has not had actual hands-on involvement in the development of our inventions to grasp the value and relevant detail. Without even seeing our prototypes, Tory was immediately able to understand the premise, the business and community value, and the short-term and long-term impact and ramifications of our inventions. She put it all to paper, spent many hours interviewing us, leading us to focus on the appropriate elements, and giving us suggestions that helped us to re-evaluate and rethink our goals. As a business person, I know that the time she has spent with us well surpasses the cost and value of her services on our behalf. It is obvious that Tory is committed to our success and has the expertise and experience to help us achieve it. So, does she deliver on her promises? Yes, and more. As for meeting deadlines, Tory is most often too fast for us . . . she is usually waiting for us to catch up with her! Tory says it like it is - no nonsense delivery. Tory's focus is on delivering a 100% professional service. Efficiency and cost-effectiveness often require leaping over emotions and cutting to the quick.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to brag about Victoria Duff! She came to my aid to whip up a business plan, and gave me excellent guidance and advice. She helped me formulate my presentation to some VC's. And came to an important meeting with me and my investors. She is adept at getting to the heart of an issue, and helping all involved clarify their positions and mission. She will offer you expert writing and business advice, and packs a lot of service into her fee, which is probably half of what she should be charging. Her strength of character, new media expertise and banking and Wall Street background pack a powerful punch that will prove invaluable to anyone that she contracts to help.
