- "Alan, over the past 35 years through my involvement with The Executive Committee and the chamber of commerce, I have seen literally thousands of resource speakers. You are one of the best! Your presentation is heart warming, deep and thought provoking. Your message of sharing God's vision for your business, open book management, and preparing your business for sale is needed among CEO's today. I highly recommend you to business groups."
John Beehner, CEO
Wise Counsel
- "Alan Melton's message is very practical and powerful! I plan to prepare my business for sale for purposes other than its sale! I recommend this speaker to any business owner. It is great to hear how one man has been blessed through carefully listening to God and applying what he hears from Him."
Paul Robbins, CEO
Carribbean Cold Storage
- "It was a true pleasure to have Mr. Alan Melton as a guest speaker in various Management classes of mine at the University of Phoenix. The students were awe struck with his knowledge of business. Mr. Melton is a polished speaker, fielding questions with ease and making each student feel as if what they have to say or the question they ask is valuable and pertinent to the topic at hand. His testimony alone makes for a wonderful witness to all business persons wanting to succeed in industry today. It makes one want to step out in faith and make the Lord the focus of one's life by putting him first in both personal and professional business. His use of outside material and applying biblical principles to business reveals the fact that these "cutting edge" ideas have been around since the Lord created life. They aren't new. You merely need to know where to find the material. Mr. Melton excels at mapping the route. I would not hesitate to give Alan my highest recommendation. He gives a much needed, refreshing twist to management principles and their employment under the direction of our Lord and Savior." Ps. 90:1-2

- "You spoke about a month ago and shared your success story. I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your speech. What impressed me most was your affirmation that your blessings are a direct result of your faith. Somehow, my faith seems to have taken a back seat and you are a reminder that if I am going to achieve my goals, then I need to let God be the driver. I am strong willed and it's difficult for me to let anyone else drive! Along with pursuing my degree, I am making a conscious effort to get my walk with Christ right, and let him have the driver's seat. Thanks again."
Helen Plummer
- "I now see my company with new eyes. I'm inspired to focus on the vision God has for my company. I want to move from self-employment to business ownership."
Victor Schultz, Owner

- "Your presentation was thought stimulating! Thank you for inspiring me as a CEO to take this philosophy back to my company. I plan to involve my employees in brainstorming and planning. I want to use the model that Jesus demonstrated in preparing my organization for sale."
CEO's
Wise Counsel Group 10
- "I really enjoyed your presentation. I have tried to incorporate some of the things you spoke of to help my husbands business and a lot has seemed to change. Some things I thought for sure would not work turned out to be the best things that has happened. I am a Christian woman and have taken your advice and turned the business over to the Lord for his leading and like I said before a lot of things have changed for the better. I will pray for your continued success in your speeches and your life and hope that someone follows my footsteps and walks away like I did with a lot more knowledge and an understanding that they are not alone in the business the Lord is there also. You are a very good speaker and you were able to keep me on the edge of my seat; so many others are not able to achieve this."
Respectfully yours,
Melissa Ivy-Kuespert
P.S. "I read Proverbs and now I understand how you implemented them to your business."
- "I want to express my appreciation for organizing and presenting the recent meetings in Jacksonville, Florida regarding multiple business issues revolving around customer service. The meetings were well organized and thought provoking, as well as very insightful, informative, and innovative. Your informative presentations were very well prepared, and will aid me with future dealings at the business and personal levels. Your sincere candor and your ability to reach attendees through your presentations were very apparent by the interaction of the groups. I look forward to attending more of your future meetings and seminars."

- "Very real; I felt close to the story. Alan Melton was very good and concise".
Brian Behnken, CEO
Maple Leaf Sales, LTD
- "I think you are a wonderful speaker. You truly inspire those you talk to. You are natural, posed, confident and make the audience feel that their contribution is valuable. I think God uses you in a wonderful way. It wouldn't matter if you were 600 lbs. and in cutoffs with dirty feet (smile). His light really shines through you to bring glory to Him here on earth. I think your testimony is what makes the audience sit up and really pay attention."
Kristin Doolin
- "It's obvious to see what God has done in Alan's life. His perspective on business is refreshing to a person concerned with building their business from a biblical standpoint."
Russell O'Dell, President
Peninsular Warehouse
- "Very inspirational success story! The presentation could not be improved. It was straight from the heart. This is God's timing for me to hear Alan's presentation. I am involved in much of what was presented today."
Stephen Jensen, CEO
Jensen Civil Construction
- "Your point about the difference between a business owner and someone who is self employed was a new idea to me. I plan to prepare my business for sale, and one of my priorities is to become less involved in the details, and more involved in God's will!"
Andy Sanfilippo, CEO
Imex of Jacksonville/Team JAS
- "Alan I just wanted to thank you for the time you invested in me. As a small business owner, I sometimes made decisions with no seemingly logical or "goal driven" reason. Sometimes ending in success, sometimes not! At times I think it was just my entrepreneurial drive and spirit that keep me going. You have shown me the specifics to having a distinct plan and destination. And to formulate a specific plan to reach those goals. No more just "winging-it". My business, time, and life are too valuable to let emotion, crisis or competition have control over my destination. I am following some of your suggestions, even though they did not always seem "do-able" and I am very encouraged by the results. I.e. The "take your competitor out to lunch" idea, has helped my wholesale "trade" business, and expanded my future acquisitions lead base. And your laser focus marketing ideas have increased my retail customer base by 17%. No more "shotgun" approach. It feels great to have a plan and to know that it is realistic and attainable."
Neil Stagner, President
Avery Carol Printing
- "Thanks for all the help that Small Business Coach & Associates have given me. The practical advice and business-savvy ideas you have given me have added dollars to my bottom line, and will stay with me as a successful business person. The ability to stay focused on your goals and the way to develop them was information that I was able to use right away."
Michael Mangani, President

- "Alan Melton has the uncanny talent of taking people's skills and ability and shaping them to grow and develop in these increasingly changing economic times. Alan, president of Small Business Coach & Associates, has had a profound impact on my career and he will greatly benefit any start up entrepreneur or small business owner who wants to see their business grow and prosper."
Mike Sobol
Regional Vice President
Carey International
- "As new, prospective business owners, we had general ideas about what we wanted to do but had no idea how to approach the beginning processes associated with business purchase and ownership. We sought and found in Alan Melton of Small Business Coach & Associates excellent counsel based on his own business experience as well as the ability to network through him and meet other professionals that have helped us a great deal in the pursuit of our business venture."
Donna and Eric Fritsche, Owners
Restaurant Pastiche
- "From many folks in the transportation industry we had heard of the great way that East Coast Transportation was a model of success. From the way we were greeted at the airport by our chauffeur and the way he boasted of the company, we knew our trip would be beneficial. Personal attention to hundreds of details are practiced by Alan's stellar staff and proven by an impressive list of clientele. Although we operated a successful operation in New England, we came away with some of the industry's best practices. My heartfelt thanks are to you, Alan for helping us to become a better company. There are businesses out there that could benefit from your roadmap to success and how they too can get there."
With high regards,
Richard Ford, President/CEO
Regal Limousine Service
- "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your input into my business. I consulted with your associates in February of this year in severe distress regarding the condition of my business. The future looked bleak. You provided me with an assessment of my status, gave me concrete recommendations for changing course and personal follow-up necessary to see me through the rough times. You did not pull any punches, and indeed this course has been a hard road. But we closed an office that was bleeding resources and concentrated on the location most likely to succeed. It is not over yet, but the information that you provided allowed me a vantage point that I had not previously observed. Just knowing that my struggle was not unique gave me some reassurance. Thank you again for your commitment to prayer and support of my situation through your expertise in analysis and advice. The prognosis for my business is improved as the result of your involvement."
