OUR STORY
Traditional consultants sometimes get a bad reputation. They are known for charging high fees to tell management things they already know – “borrowing your watch to tell you the time, and then sending you a bill” is a popular analogy.
When we started this journey, we knew we wanted to be different. We wanted to provide something far more robust than “consulting.” We wanted to deliver real solutions with real tools that clients could use in their daily operations – tools that would lead to quantifiable and qualitative changes in employee behavior as well as business results. Our expertise has evolved over the years, and we now consider ourselves to be compensation plan developers, providing concrete tools that can be used long after our initial project is complete.
Our story began in 1998 when our founder and CEO, Beth Carroll, joined Towers Perrin (now Willis Towers Watson). After completing an MBA at Northwestern University, she said yes to a decade-long career in sales compensation efficacy and planning. That simple “yes” served as the fertile soil from which our company would one day grow.
It was ironic because Beth never dreamed of being a compensation developer. Nor did she imagine that she’d be developing incentive plans for trucking companies and freight brokers. Yet the opportunity presented itself, so she said yes.
Sure, there were setbacks, changes, rallying, and rebranding (twice!), but each time, Prosperio has evolved more to the company it was meant to be; we are now far more than just compensation advisors.
And with each engagement, Prosperio said yes to helping their clients and professional network beyond the stated project, by providing resources, colleague introductions, and assistance whenever possible. And each time we said yes, we achieved more success. We develop lasting relationships with our clients and provide on-going advice year after year. This is why our clients often come back year after year.
Saying yes to all those opportunities was how Prosperio Group became a leader in compensation design for the transportation and logistics industry.
WE SAY YES TO Customer SATISFACTION. IN FACT, WE ARE FANATICS ABOUT IT AND TAKE IT PERSONALLY.
Like you, we have encountered vendors who are distracted, disinterested, untrained, uneducated, and/or unprofessional. We’ve suffered through vendor relationships that are inflexible and bound by ridiculous policies entirely divorced from client satisfaction. We strive to be the antithesis of these companies.
WE SAY YES TO Following Thorugh
It’s a sad state of the business world where simply following through on our word makes us stand out from the crowd—but it does. At Prosperio Group, our word is our bond.
WE SAY YES TO BEING HUMAN. WE Don’t Pretend to Be Perfect.
To err is human, and as long as a company is run by humans, that company will occasionally make mistakes. At Prosperio Group, we take many measures to avoid mistakes and when we do make a mistake, we fix it, and then use it as motivation for honing our processes.
WE SAY YES TO HONESTY– EVEN IF IT’S The Difficult Decision.
The best people in your life tell you what you need to hear, when you need to hear it. We have turned down projects and referred clients to our competition at times when we knew we were not the best match. We don’t entertain impossible deadlines. We advised a billion-dollar president against his desired approach because we knew he was making a mistake. We have told a global top five supply-chain provider that they weren’t ready to work with us. The truth can hurt, especially for our revenue, but we will not accept projects that do not feel right.
WE SAY YES TO DIRECT AND OPEN CONVERSATION.
Difficult problems must often be approached head-on if they are to be overcome. Compensation is no different. If difficult conversations (or even sometimes blunt language) are not for you or your business, then Prosperio Group would not be a good fit for you. However, if you want to enable steadfast changes with a business who will roll-up their sleeves, dig in, and commit to you, then we are the right choice – from the start of the project through many years past its completion.
