Reducing business failures and protecting investments is the work of a Texas based strategy firm

Dallas, Texas, December 1, 2002-In an effort to enhance the likelihood of success with early stage companies, StreetMaker, Inc. of Dallas, Texas announces The Compass Process™.

"We've discovered that only about 4 in 100 companies are really achieving a state of return on investment for entrepreneurs and investors," said Chris Allen, Chairman and CEO of StreetMaker, Inc. "In our research, we've also discovered that many failures could have been averted by developing the companies systematically using the sound business principles established through our process."

The Compass Process™ is an affordable consulting, training, and coaching program that focuses companies on research based, strategic objectives that lead to a satisfactory result. Mr. Allen is quoted as saying, "Many times it involves getting business owners focused on realistic, achievable goals and holding them accountable to reaching the milestones,".

StreetMaker developed the process to protect investments. "We define investors as the banks who lend money; the venture firms who invest; and the entrepreneurs that sacrifice time and resources to produce something of value," says Allen.

A number of companies are reporting huge increases in efficiencies and revenues after several months of testing implementation of The Compass Process™. "A garden structures manufacturer reports 500% increases in revenue; a CPA firm reports a four times increase in revenue; and a first-year engineering firm reports over $100,000 first year cash-flow in the black using $0 in start-up capital," says Allen. "We are very pleased with the outcomes our clients have been experiencing and feel we've hit on a tremendous product that can help significantly mitigate the investment risk in building business."

"Oh, not everything is roses," says Chairman and CEO Allen. "We still have situations where, either through totally depleted resources and head-strong business owners, we've yet to crack the code!"

StreetMaker is a business and marketing strategy firm dedicated to enhancing success in free enterprise by providing business owners with necessary knowledge, professional skills, capital management, and accountability to action.
