The Exit Architect is a Certified Exit Planning Advisor with The Exit Planning Institute and a Certified Value Builder with John Warrillow’s ValueBuilder company.
I was on a peer-to-peer business owners’ board for ten years when Richard was the facilitator. He helped me surmount several business challenges over those years: (1) Helping me better manage my law firm, (2) Improving my marketing message and prospecting of potential clients, (3) Improving corporate culture and employee accountability, and (4) Helping me manage my time more wisely. Richard has a wealth of expertise beyond these issues. I enthusiastically recommend Richard Strautman as a business advisor and board facilitator.

I have found Richard Strautman to be a very capable Peer-to-Peer Board Facilitator and Consultant on a broad range of topics. I have used his advice in personnel, sales management, business strategy, and marketing areas and have found him to be very prompt and responsive. His advice has always been great, no matter what the issue or situation. He is quick to come up with an answer to my questions and I really enjoy working with him.
I met Richard through the Value Builder System certification program. I found we had a common interest in exit planning. That is when I discovered Richard's extensive background, knowledge and experience in working with business owners to help them prepare for selling their business or transition their business to the next generation or to employees. I also learned that he is a Certified Exit Planner. I would highly recommend him as a professional Exit Planner.
