Listening is so important to The Joel Cohen Group that we wanted to make a special tab. It is the core of who we are and how together, we develop your Management Master Plan.
We listen to you.
An organization cannot discuss expertise without having experience in achieving successful results. Expertise is accomplished, not given. Through the consistent years of listening and learning, a business methodology was formed. Through experience and analysis, a set of principles, rules and procedures developed, which consistently will show positive results.
We listen to results.
Our Management Master Plan is a combination of our core promise, which is listening. By hearing experts in different fields of sports and entertainment management, we take what is good and apply that to our business methodology.
To achieve sustainable success, it is the execution of the business methodology that will generate long-term revenue success.
