With its own distribution network, Hall and Hunt Brothers supplied its own fleet of trucks to deliver the customers product.

With experience in real estate, site selection, purchase, leasing, financing, recruiting, concept creation and having provided consulting services to Trading Time, Inc.., a dynamic company in the timeshare / electronic billing industry, our diverse background will benefit you in many ways.

Unlike a lot of consulting companies which " borrow your watch to tell you what time it is", we pride ourselves on inspiring and instructing others in all areas of their lives by uniquely differentiating themselves from conventional behavior, using their capabilities to reinforce, in unexpected ways, the highest ideals of community, culture, and civilization.

As we see it, all business is "people" business, and those who are successful are those that make the extra effort to see that people are served and their needs/desires are met. We pride ourselves on having the ability to transform fear into focused and relaxed thinking, communication, and ACTION. The end results are: dangers become opportunities, obstacles become innovations, weaknesses become advantages, and setbacks become breakthroughs.

Our job is to help you and your business create value, thus avoiding the ever present existence of commoditization. A commodity-based world favors big players who profit at reduced prices through economies of scale, expensive technologies, and massive marketing expenditures. For entrepreneurs who can't compete with the Wal-Mart's and Amazon.com's of their industries, the challenge is to differentiate you from the competition and make a profit. The entrepreneurs who are truly thriving in this environment are doing so by creating unique value for their clients and customers. At MarketStation, we can help you accomplish your goals, desires, and ambitions.

At MarketStation, we believe that ALL entrepreneurs have unique abilities. The key is to identify and focus on your true unique abilities. The lack of focus on your unique talents and passion leads to a lack of satisfaction and meaning, and a reduced ability to create value and produce measurable results.

We help entrepreneurs clearly define and focus on their true strengths. By operating in your true strengths, you are able to contribute to people and be rewarded with increasing income, resources, and opportunities.

Strategic Business Planning: Through our unique business planning process we can help your company evaluate what your current needs are and apply those needs to a detailed plan that is measurable and attainable. Most companies today struggle with a lack of strategic vision or planning. At MarketStation, we can help you clearly define your vision and growth strategy and create an effective plan to help grow your business. Our services include creating budgets, profit metrics, developing & writing business plans and organizational structuring.

Entrepreneurial Coaching: Reached your ceiling of complexity? Do you feel that you're spinning your wheels conducting mundane tasks that are necessary but not helping you grow your business? We can help you as an entrepreneur evaluate not only this scenario but a whole host of other criteria that can allow you to not only grow your business profitably but also maintain a healthy and rewarding quality of life. With our Unique Opportunity Matrix™, we help entrepreneurs transform fear into focused and relaxed thinking.

Establishing & Maintaining Healthy Effective Banking Relationships: Unfortunately most small business owners don't have the time or the resources to source and approach banks to accomplish their business goals. At MarketStation, we are experts at teaching the small business owner how to accomplish your banking goals without dealing with the red tape. We have over 60 years of combined experience dealing with banks. We know the challenges you face and are able to select the “best in class” for your particular needs.

Distribution & Logistics: Our team has experience in large and small scale distribution companies and we can help you with all of your distribution and logistics needs. From route efficiencies, to effective use and deployment of equipment that you use, we can help your company evaluate your challenges and create a plan to help. From our contacts with some of the nation’s largest trucking companies to mid size distribution companies, we are your one stop solution.

Recruitment & Hiring of staff: With experience ranging from large restaurant chains to large and mid size distribution companies, we can help you in your employee recruitment and retention initiatives. Our leadership philosophy is based on a servant's leadership approach. We believe that good people are attracted to leaders who possess humility, knowledge and enthusiasm. A lot of small businesses fail because they can't recruit the best talent in their industry and retain them. We have found that most people DON'T just look for jobs based on salary alone, it’s the people they work for and how they are treated. Let us help make your company become a "go to" destination for talented future employees.

Real Estate & Site Selection: Our experienced team has been involved in all aspects of site selection for new locations. We have great connections with brokers, agents, developers and large corporations that currently have existing sites for sale, both developed and undeveloped. We can help you dissect any part of the country in which you are looking to purchase/lease a c-store, restaurant or any other small business. In real estate, the keys to success have always been location, location, location.

Planning & Analysis: If you need assistance deciding on the proper amount of exposure for new locations, new markets or new regions, we can help. If you are starting a concept from the ground up, just look to us for ideas when starting from scratch. If you are re-tooling an existing location, we have an experienced team and can be of assistance in bringing that location up to your expectations.

Human Resources: As small business owners, we understand how difficult it is to effectively manage the human resources side of your business. We can help you with all of your DOL regulations, payroll services, workers comp, safety training and 401K plans. When it comes to strategy or compliance with Human Resources, our team can clear up questions and help establish or revamp your HR systems.
