For Jim Turner, Optibike is an extension of his life as a motocross rider, triathlete, and semiconductor design engineer. For his customers, Optibikes are a great way to lose weight, commute without a car, and have fun.

After buying his first electric bike in 1996, Jim found that it didn’t climb hills or go far enough. So he decided to make a better one. He built his first model in 1998, and started Optibike in 2008. Today, the company has customers in 32 countries, generating more than $1.45 million in annual sales.

Automation frees up precious time for this dad.

David’s business is all about taking care of families. From wills and trusts to full estate planning, David and his associates help people put their affairs in order so their families are protected.

PrivateCounsel spent far too much time and money marketing the business and trying to stay top-of-mind to leads in the pipeline. If the team was busy with existing clients, new leads often received no follow-up until long after they expressed interest.
