small firm, big ideas
How we're different than larger outplacement firms
Faster
A Best Impression delivers a complete series in 6 sessions delivered over 3 weeks. Other firms offer a single hour session each week, dragging on the process over months instead of weeks which doesn't provide momentum.
More Thorough
The tools and techniques your staff will learn are updated weekly and designed to be understood on a deeper level than the generic 101-level curriculum the other firms have been using for years.
More Effective
A Best Impression provides a closer relationship and can customize and adjust curriculum to make sure each person's individual needs are addressed.
More Affordable
A Best Impression fees are less than other firms because we are completing the work in a shorter amount of time.
