OUR GROUP
What Kind of
Businesses Join Avitus Group?
This is a common question, that comes up in almost every introduction to Avitus Group. Business owners are curious about the kinds of businesses that make up the group for multiple reasons:
- Are there a large variety of businesses in the group? Smart question. Diversification means stability. Avitus Group keeps a balance across many different industries as well as different parts of the country. This latter reason was helpful the last couple of years.
- What size businesses join Avitus Group? From a handful of employees all the way to the hundreds. We try to keep a good mix there too. Once again, to add stability.
- What about businesses that may be doing great financially, but the type of work is considered risky? We can usually help any business, but if the training becomes TOO specialized we may need to reach out to our contacts. Call us and ask. We will let you know right away.
I know someone with Avitus Group and they are very complimentary about the people and the customer service. How do you do it?
It begins with hiring the right people and then systemizing excellent service into our processes. Business owners join Avitus Group to finally focus on their business and do what they actually enjoy. They expect a certain level of decent customer service, but there are many times we are really able to shine.
Are you the right fit for Avitus Group? Ask yourself the following questions:
- As you analyze your daily work-life, are you truly doing what you are really good at and why you got into business to begin with? If the answer is no or not as much as I would like, Avitus may just be the answer. People naturally enjoy doing the things that best use their talents and abilities. It's common to hear new members say, "Boy, I should have done this a long time ago!"
- Are you at a crossroads and must decide whether to commit to hiring a part-time or full-time staff to handle HR, Payroll, Safety & Risk, Benefits etc. or outsource these responsibilities? There are advantages to hiring an onsite person, and in fact, we are so thankful that many of our larger members have that staff available. Every situation is unique, but if you really don't need an individual from each of those areas onsite everyday, most of the time Avitus Group is the answer.
- Are you comfortable delegating? If so, Avitus Group is a really good fit. After a few months, many members tell us that they feel like they have more control of their business than they ever had before.
What sets Avitus Group apart from everyone else? What makes Avitus different?
This is the age-old question every business faces. It is unfortunate, but most companies within our industry have relied on a very flawed business model that focuses on price and limited service. Many of these companies simply canabalize and fight over a small pool of customers that are strictly looking for the cheapest option.
Avitus Group began at inception with a completely different approach. Leadership provided a vision for a business model built around service, value, and only targeting prospective clients (members) that desire and appreciate high quality. The idea of using the term member rather than client reflects the way each business owner and their employees are treated by Avitus Group staff.
The term member also denotes a sense of belonging for the business owner. The membership of Avitus Group is made up of like-minded enterpreneurs that work hard and are driven to be successful. It's interesting that when members get together they feel a real connection. Running a business can sometimes make you feel like you are on an island. Knowing others are aligned with you fighting the good fight can really lift your spirits.
Overall, the biggest difference has to be our staff. We back up our claims with real, solid professionals. Whether it's Human Resource help or Safety and Risk Management, our staff will deliver our services the way you desire that fits your situation. If you need us onsite to handle a difficult situation, we are there. Our staff are all accedited and certified in their area of expertise so you can completely trust their advice.
Another great point about the staff is their approach. "What outcome are you ultimately looking for in this situation?" is a common question. We then figure out a strategy to accomplish your wishes. If for some reason it can't be done, we will tell you why and offer alternative options.
