Thrive Business Operations provides an intentional, personal, and comprehensive approach to improving your organization! Bill and his team understands the factors & practices involved in achieving true success, and helps shape the process to match your unique goals & values. Their understanding and experience make them the most valuable piece of any strategy!

Having worked with Bill prior to Thrive, I can confidently recommend his approach and strategic insight for leaders and managers. He helped me with my staff to specifically develop accountable project management mile markers that we still use years later. Bill is great to work with: he has the heart for the people he serves and he is emotionally intelligent enough to work with a diverse group of industry leaders and management teams.

Our firm has retained Thrive to work on a variety of projects. If you want someone who understands business strategy and at the same time will dive into understanding the heart of your business then Thrive is the recommendation. If you want to pay for someone to show up, give you a courtesy listen, provide you a few ideas and walk away then don't hire them. They work well with all people of the organization with great interpersonal skills. No hesitation in recommending Thrive.

Bill is a very talented and gifted entrepreneur that understands how to get things done. Bill guided the leadership of our organization through a vital time of transition by helping us identify and implement strategies and systems that were greatly needed. I highly recommend Thrive Business Operations.

I appreciate the care and consideration as we processed the two day strategy session. Thrive not only assisted with the business aspects, they were in tune to the human components of the business as well. I learned a lot from this and have a plan to move forward.

Thrive Business Operations has given me a platform for strategically working on my business instead of in it. Our Thrive Tribe meetings have been integral to good/healthy business practices. I love being able to bounce ideas off other business owners in the Upstate!

I’m currently a part of the Thrive Tribe mastermind program and it’s been powerful. Having a group of committed entrepreneurs around me, in a safe space, where we can learn and challenge each other, share real ideas and tactics on how to grow our businesses, and know I can be real about my challenges or wins — it’s been even more helpful to my growth and focus than I expected. Thrive does an amazing job facilitating deep conversations, uncovering blocks, and giving tactical ideas on how to move forward. I’d highly recommend this program to any small business owner serious about dialing up their success.

Thrive did an excellent job facilitating the Greer Chamber Board Retreat recently that I attended. Very professional and masterful at keeping the discussion on track. I would highly recommend Thrive for your next strategy session.

You need to get into action; but it is strategies for those actions where the power really is. And Thrive Business Operations says it all. The Thrive team will make sure you have the right strategies for YOUR business. I've completed his 5-day Build Your Dream Team and his Hire a Rockstar Virtual Assistant Course. Both totally delivered. I've also spent 9 months with Bill in a mastermind group and his contributions are always gold.

Thrive has consistently given me knowledgeable and pertinent advice. Thrive has greatly assisted in streamlining my practices and growing my business. I would recommend Thrive to anyone looking to get an edge in their business.

We have enjoyed the beginning of our leadership development strategy with Thrive and are looking forward to the coming months. Thrive does a great job at bringing perspective to your strategy and needs.

Thrive’s guidance over our two-day event has been invaluable to us in proving a road map for future planning and communication. Thrive comes from a position of contribution that is evident in their words and actions. Highly recommend.

I reached out to Thrive after receiving a recommendation from a colleague of mine. We are attempting to shift our business model and we need a clear path on how to best reach our goals. Sometimes the path is not always clear. After just a couple of sessions, Thrive was able to dig deep, peel off the layers and allow me to gain clarity that I was unable to see on my own. It was pretty incredible. I look forward to walking down this path with Thrive and excited for what is to come.

Our firm has retained Thrive to help us put together a strategic plan and set goals for the next 5 years. We continue to monitor and implement that plan on a quarterly basis and track progress in our weekly staff meetings. He has also assisted us training new employees and putting together a training manual for future hires. Thrive's expertise in these areas has been a true blessing for our business and its continued growth. Thrive has taken the time and energy to understand the financial services industry overall and the dynamics of the way we operate. Thrive is fully involved! I recommend the services of Thrive to anyone looking to improve your business.

Our business needed to update our hiring and employee management processes. We were still doing everything via paper with no defined methods in place. Within 5 months, Thrive helped us define and implement a clearly written hiring strategy along with installing software to manage it all. We now have confidence to hire and on-board new team members quickly and manage all our HR needs.

Bill is a driver who makes things happen and gets things done

I've had the pleasure of working with Kai on many projects throughout the years and her creativity, dedication and leadership has never let me down. She is always thinking outside the box to provide the most value for her clients within their project scope and deliverables. Overachieving is an understatement. I highly recommend Thrive Business Operations for any organization looking for assistance in business process improvement and consulting!

We hired Kai to help us in developing a training system for our business managers. This is a very complex project as it addresses several topics including sales, networking, marketing, along with personal help tools like time management, professional presentation and follow up skills. This training is invaluable to our company’s success. Like most service businesses, people are everything and investing in their growth is a top priority for us. Kai is an expert at evaluating and understanding where our individual managers are and what they may need to focus on in continuing training. Her approach is warm, thoughtful and very effective. Getting people to open up and discuss what they or the company may need help with has proven to be a critical aspect in moving our program forward. She has facilitated and guided us through the process that we simply could not accomplish on our own. Her work product is top-notch and I would recommend any business or individual that needs these services to strongly consider speaking with Kai to see if there’s a good fit. It sure is for Baytree!

Kai is a great business partner and collaborator. She excels in pioneering new strategies and leads through transformational innovation. Kai is very resourceful and experienced in marketing and operational strategies. She is able to quickly identify and assess potential solutions when evaluating initiatives that will meet the business objectives. Thank you so much for all that you have done for our start-up operations! Wishing continued success Thrive Business Operations.

I approached Kai Bailey to help my company with a special project for one of our large events. The project was to develop a new media component for an upcoming event with only 2 weeks to spare. Kai designed the media and executed the completion of the project in plenty of time for review and approval prior to the event date. Kai listened carefully to our needs and wants for the project, and she communicated clearly and quickly throughout the process. I was impressed with her work ethic to get the project done in time, and I know we could not have gotten it done without her. Kai's creative design inspired us to continue using this media component for each of our large events which is enjoyed by both our staff and customers.

Kai was instrumental in helping us create a business continuity strategy and internal implementation processes to poise our agency for growth. She is amazing with clients, staff and has leadership qualities people admire and respect.
