a note from Ashley Forbes Kellogg

Today’s economic situation has caused most companies to take a fresh look at business development:


ForbesRobinson makes your company look good…really good!
  • “How can I make my business development dollars go further?”
  • “How do I gain new customers?”
  • “How can I more effectively communicate my brand?”
  • “How do we ensure our meetings will produce the desired result?”
  • “How can I entice a top producer to join (or stay at) my company?”

In 2001, I founded ForbesRobinson to help clients capture market share by taking a holistic view of what constitutes solid business development. First and foremost, we take a top-down approach and believe successful business practices require putting people first – your employees,  customers and prospects.

Our approach is what makes ForbesRobinson different.  ForbesRobinson has no other agenda than your success. We focus on uncovering and planning for the not so obvious nuances that ultimately help our clients meet their growth objectives. When it comes to successful business, each company has different needs. We work alongside our clients to create a cohesive plan. You work hard and our approach reflects that reality. We look for ways to give you more bang for your buck.

We specialize in creating and executing methodologies that maximize internal and external relationships. We help our clients figure out how to resolve their most pressing people predicaments from internal communication and executive coaching, to recruiting top people, and increasing market share. ForbesRobinson excels at helping clients create transparency and trust with the right people, the right words, at the right time, in the right way.

ForbesRobinson is all about giving people what they need to connect with others in a meaningful manner. If you are curious and want ideas for recharging your business, call us today for a complimentary needs assessment.

ForbesRobinson: Evaluates meeting and event practices

  • Analyzes strengthens and identifies weaknesses
  • Finds untapped resources
  • Creates new market strategies
  • Develops comprehensive budgets
  • Measures very specific results


When people are making personal decisions that involve personal finances and putting their career or reputation on the line, they want the ability to closely judge the company’s integrity.

We work with you to ensure:

  • Your company’s mission statement is a living document
  • Service standards and objectives are effectively communicated from the top down
  • Structured exchange of thoughts, ideas and concerns between management and high potential recruits


Businesses must develop thoughtful programs that invest in their employees… and their customers.

Internally we look at:

  • Who are the existing top producers?
  • Why do they perform well?
  • Is the corporate culture supportive of these people? How do you know?
  • How can an employee’s existing efforts be increased?


Externally we look at:

  • Who are the people you would like to recruit?
  • What personally is known about them?
  • Would they fit successfully into the culture?
