We Help Grow Your Business In The New Economy
The rules of the game have changed and are constantly changing. We continually study and apply our knowledge of technology and business to help you stand out and connect with new customers.
Our Story
AscendWorks started when Jeff Payne, a long-time entrepreneur and business owner, and Don Dalrymple, a technology startup executive, decided to build a business system which would make their workflow faster.
Multiple projects and gigs developed with others seeking to build systems which market and sell their offerings to an inattentive economy. During the journey, we have mastered an array of technologies and have been diligently cracking the code on creating the ultimate customer experience. There have been a lot of successes and failures as any worthwhile journey would entail. We have seen lives changed and businesses increasing revenues. We have seen what happens when a person does not change or insists on old ways of doing business.
Today, our clients who have gone down the same path we started have discovered that who they become is affected by who they know. Who they present themselves to be comes from systems which position them effectively and precisely. They have learned that selling is a process not an event. Through our journey, we have come to recognize that special growth-minded person or organization who is willing to look at themselves and their customer and become the person our systems position them as.
