Praise we've received.
"I want to commend you on the excellent job you did in assisting me in the sale of Coldwell Banker JME Realty. You put together the detailed package which included all the pertinent information any prospective buyer would want to see in order to do a competent “due diligence” that was instrumental in creating interest and because everything was included the “due diligence” period was shortened considerably. I very much appreciate your following up and keeping the process moving forward and the result was our being able to close the transaction on time. Your assistance in working with our legal team in Atlanta enabled them to understand what we were selling and enabled me to continue to operate the business while all of this was going on. The result was a successful sale and my golf game is getting back to where it should be!! Well done, Lee."
-Joe Endry, President/Owner Coldwell Banker JME Realty
"I have long advised clients that when considering a sale of their business, you first must prepare your business for sale. This usually takes 12 to 24 months to accomplish. [Lee Burleson/Genoa Consulting Partners] provides essential advice on virtually every aspect of sales preparation, negotiation and then to closing. I believe that [Lee/Genoa] is a clear value added member to any team of professionals engaged by the owner."
-Thomas O. Powell, Partner, Troutman Sanders
"Genoa Consulting Partners is the "Real Deal". J.J. Morley Enterprises Inc., being in business Construction, Environmental and Waterproofing business for over 20 years, frequently receives numerous calls from consultants promising to advance the company to the next highest level. The results have been disappointing to say the least! As we are in trying times with the economy, the last thought I had was to bring in another consulting group when we were trying to cut overhead costs. Lee Burleson, President; Genoa Consulting Partners name kept surfacing and came highly recommended. Lee and his company’s approach to the issues we faced impressed us the most. The results were beyond our highest expectations."
-John J. Morley, J.J. Morley Enterprises, Inc.

-Harris Fogel, President, O4 Corporation
"I worked with Lee for many years at Quaker and then Pepsi. Lee is a powerful leader: Passionate and inspiring, committed to the development of individuals in his team, poised and confident in communication, and relentless in the pursuit of results. Though he was a Sales leader when we worked together, I (and all of us around him) saw him as an overall business leader, and someone we were proud to have been able to work beside."
"Chuck Maniscalco, President, Gatorade, Quaker Oats
"I have worked with Lee in the areas of sales, trade marketing, marketing and organizational design. Lee is a true professional who gets the details done while understanding the big picture. Lee has lead organizations by getting involved and in doing so, earned his team's respect."
-Mike Cooke, Vice President Sales, Golden Temple
"I have known Lee Burleson for almost 30 years. Lee has been my direct manager, a co-worker, a mentor and a friend. He has always been supportive and willing to lend a helping hand. From a business perspective, Lee is smart, focused and informed. He has a unique ability to work across many divergent issues and expertly handle each one of them. Leadership and business acumen come naturally to Lee. His many talents would be a valuable addition for any organization."
-Rick Collins, VP Sales, Clif Bar
Lee's towering strength is Leadership. He has a unique ability to rise above the minutiae and "vision cast" around a specific initiative; then identify and engage the ideal resources necessary to excel; while also possessing uncanny instincts to uncover (and solve) issues critical to a successful outcome. I highly recommend Lee basis the aforementioned skills as well his strong sense of integrity.
