HistoryFounded in 2005 in Austin, TX, Competitive Consulting was started to fill a void between large, Fortune 500 companies and the many small, local businesses large companies wish to attract. Logistically, mass communication (for example, telemarketing or direct mail campaigns) has been the most cost-effective outlet to target and land small business accounts. Competitive Consulting provided large telecommunication, office supply and merchant service companies a new option: outsourced face-to-face marketing. Our clients trust their brand to Competitive Consulting, and the reps represent them to the local business community. As of the 5-year anniversary of the company, 25,000+ new customers had been acquired for our clients.SpecialtiesOver the past several years, we have expanded from an Austin-based start-up to the premier firm for outsourced marketing and sales. Our approach, building face-to-face relationships with small and midsize companies, has meant exponential growth for our clients. As a result, our clients have asked us to expand, and so far we have established a presence in several new markets outside of Texas, including Connecticut, Alabama, Illinois, California and Oregon.
