Rembrandt, Di Vinci, and Monet used the same three primary colors contained in every box of crayons.
Pythagoras, Newton, and Einstein were limited to the same 10 digits that appear on the face of every cell phone.
Bach, Beethoven, and Tchaikovsky used the same seven basic notes every student learns the first day of music class.
3 colors - 10 digits - 7 notes. It is what we do with knowledge that determines our success or failure.

Rainmaker — Recent Success Stories
Rainmaker's development and implementation of successful business strategies and marketing campaigns is nationally renowned. We are accomplished experts in the development and writing of proposals and responses to local, state, and federal government agencies and Prime Contractors requests (RFPs, RFIs, RFQs, etc.).
A brief summary of several of our most recent projects includes the following:
Logistics Company — 57 Years in Business:
Rainmaker architected and implemented a highly successful business and strategic marketing plan, which resulted in annual revenue more than doubling in less than one year. Branded company, created new corporate image. Completely recreated all marketing and collateral materials, and redid entire sales, and marketing processes and operations.
SUCCESS:
Annual gross revenues increased from $5.7 million to greater than $180 million in less than six years. The company was sold to a multinational, $30 billion publicly-traded logistics company for mid-eight figures.
Chemical Manufacturer and Franchiser:
Rainmaker performed an analysis of this company's multi-state manufacturing facilities and 420 unit franchise operation. We determined that the client was not operating within the requirements of the U.S. and state franchise law, and further was not administering its advertising budget within the constraints defined in its License (franchise) documents.
SUCCESS:
Rainmaker designed and implemented a marketing plan, which earned this company the prestigious Frost and Sullivan Marketing Engineering Award for Competitive Strategy. Rainmaker worked in concert with the company's legal team to revise all agreements and contracts. Rainmaker developed, designed, and presented to the company's franchise network a comprehensive business and marketing plan that resulted in the retention of all 420 existing franchisees. The company was sold less than two years later to the largest chemical company in the world, and the franchise network has grown 45% since the implementation of the plan designed by Rainmaker.
Information Technology Company — Start-Up:
Rainmaker developed, designed, and implemented the business and marketing strategies, and plan. Provided sales and marketing expertise, and staffed the sales division of the company with Rainmaker personnel.
