Job Titles:
- Co - Founder of Federal Express
I feel honored to know and to have worked with Robert Smith - as a valued business advisor and ultimately, as a friend. While I rarely recommend and/or provide "testimonials," I can't say enough fantastic things about Robert. He is one in ten million and a man whom I deeply respect. If Robert is on your team, you have a massive advantage!"
As the team leader for all client CFO projects for Axcelerate Worldwide with more than 34 years of experience, Dr. Pavlik understands the impact of how our business growth strategies affect the bottom line profits for each of our clients.
As our chief financial analyst for Axcelerate Worldwide, he established the baseline for our clients to achieve financial success with unique concepts and tools previously unavailable-tools that significantly augment information typically received from an accountant, bookkeeper, and/or software management program.
Axcelerate Worldwide provides financial forecasting proprietary software that allow business owners to use operational management concepts and do "what if" scenarios. He consults with companies that have as few as three individuals to companies with over six hundred employees.
He was President and CEO of a Colorado based think-tank dedicated to healthcare research and was Vice President of Western Regional Operations for a Florida based healthcare company. Additional credentials include Doctor of Dental Medicine, graduate studies in physiology, scientific research, and a provided extensive financial forecasting modeling.
Robert is the "Master Practitioner" of both Online and Offline Disruptive Marketing. He has achieved what he calls "WOW" success for SMB's in more than 200 major industries using unconventional disruptive marketing and is positioned as one of America's Top Marketers. By the way a "Master Practitioner" is one who has the humility and the brain damage to know he's full of it, but is really good at his craft. He also has the wisdom and experience to have insight into the balance needed to help others succeed.
He successfully founded four companies, sold two, and lost one. (He is still looking for it, so if you happen to find it, will you let him know…) He has an unprecedented background in helping SMB's grow in ways they never thought possible so they too can feel that "moment" of WOW! He shows SMB's how to dominate niches in national, regional and local markets, using such outrageous and disruptive concepts, that even James Bond would be impressed with them!
His Genimation™ based marketing programs have added over $ 750 million dollars for his SMB "Clients" at higher profits than they ever thought possible. By the way, a "Client" is an entrepreneur who hires a professional to tell them what to do…and then never follows their advice.
Robert used to be a "Professional Consultant." He is now a wildly driven successful entrepreneur, idea guy, innovator, speaker, trainer, story teller, and loves Disney and Looney Tunes. The truth is this. He is so many things, he's trying to figure out who he is right now!
He has won many of those self-aggrandizing national business awards including the Best Marketing Consultant in America in 2010, which he carefully maintains in a used cardboard box in the basement of his home. By the way a "Professional Consultant" is someone who you pay a lot of money to hear what you already know.
P.S. SMB's are small to medium sized businesses, however everyone looks great to Robert as long as they are wearing the right glasses…it's all in the optics. Elton John got it right!
Robert Curtis Smith was introduced to me when I was in development for a new product launch. What Axcelerate was able to illustrate to me was not how to market a new product but how to repackage our entire company. Not an easy task when you work with the best advertising agencies in the world on Madison Avenue. I always like a company that over delivers.
