Knowledge is Power

We've been at this for a while.  We specialize only in the Zoho platform.  What does this mean for you?  It means faster, more precise answers and guidance for how you can leverage the power of the platform.  We help you bridge the gap from what you don't know to what it could be to what it will be.  Having deep knowledge of the system and it's ability across the different apps allows us to work faster than most to get you what you need.

We love what we do because we have a hard time saying 'no' to our customers.  We ask them to provide a wishlist for what their perfect system would look like - and we get to work.

Also, we should probably note - we have been called in many times to fix what another 'consultant' (that didn't know what they were doing) did.

Cash is King

Ah cash.  Some understand the need for velocity of cash in the marketplace to get a faster return, others pinch themselves off from opportunity to grow.

We are not saying you should be foolish with your money.  As a small business we understand that cash is king. 

While we are exceptionally good at what we do and work in about 25% of the time it would take someone else - we don't take advantage of that.  We want to see you grow.  We want raving fans.  We want to see you succeed, not spend more.

We offer very palatable pricing.  We do not come out of the gates on our first call with - 'oh yeah, that's going to be at least 40 hours' like others - we call bs.  Schedule a call today.

"A Special thank you David Edkins. David [has] been instrumental to getting this done.  Thank you David for understanding the vision and scope of this project to deliver something to us that will allow us to continue to grow and evolve our business..”

David Edkins

Founder and President

Started in business working in Hewlett-Packard finance at 17.  Moved to their consulting division and at 24, along with three other people, helped organize the engagement of localized consulting partners on an international scale.  Later he leveraged his sales skills to promote HP Consulting to Fortune 100 companies across the country and became a member of their achievers club.  He left HP to buy, sell, lease, and flip commercial office properties.  During this time he created an online market place for constituents to share their wants and needs across the country - it encompassed 10,000s of members.  For the past 10 years David has helped hundreds of companies across the country increase their profits by helping them efficiently leverage cloud-based systems - and now is only focused on the Zoho ONE platform.  In 2021 he focused his attention on going from 'me' to 'we'.  The Edkins Group is proud of the global team of fifteen providing greater service to others.

Our Philosophy

#1 Keep it Simple

Most "consulting" companies are looking for billable hours - we look to have raving fans. We do not hide behind complexity to make it nebulous for you. 

Our philosophy is to start with where you are to allow for simple adoption of the new aspects we introduce.  Once you/we start seeing the results, we can increase the complexity.

#2 Be Easy to Work With

Our culture is driven by the golden rule - treat others as you would like to be treated.  Who wants to work with a jerk?  No one.

We are adaptive - we can go as fast or as slow as you like.  We have some clients that want to build out everything from the start and others that want to gradually adopt different aspects of the software.  We are happy work with any and all...after all we are all part of the same family.

#3 Know Your Sh*t

We are constantly educating ourselves in new best practices, new features of Zoho apps and constantly looking to apply these principles with our clients.

This allows us to come up with creative solutions.  Our knowledge for how to structure things as well as what has worked for other businesses like yours (or even in other industries) allows us to quickly arrive at actionable applications of aspects of Zoho. 

It's great to be able to say "yes" to most client's requests.

#4 Respect Budgets

Since we only specialize in working with small businesses, we know budgets can ebb and flow.  We also know the power of leveraging technology to help increase sales while decreasing expenses - but we need to start somewhere.

We offer blocks of time that do not expire - most opt for nine hours for $1,695.  We are amazingly fast at implementation.  We have clients that take months to get through the time.  You can also take advantage of our high value monthly support. 

Ways to Engage

Nine Hour Allocation ($1,695)

Many of our new clients like to start with a nine hour allocation of time.  This time can be used for anything: customization, assistance, training.  The time doesn't expire - take as long as needed to use it.  We do not waste any time - we provide access to a special Zoho Project portal that you have access to for full transparency.

Monthly Advisory ($295)

After getting a feel for how we work, the level of service we provide and the knowledge we have - most clients move forward with our monthly growth and support program.  It is a high-value service at a great price point of only $295.  It provides peace of mind to know you have experts available to provide quick results.

Online Courses ($49)

We are in the process of developing the world's leading repository of online courses around the Zoho suite of products.  For a paltry sum each month you and/or your team can log in and learn how to maximize Zoho for your business.  Learn basic concepts to deep dives of more complex customizations - at your pace.
