How does the process work?
Consultation and Discovery
Cogent’s process
Cogent’s process includes a consultation, a 2-3 day discovery phase, a project phase, a lifecycle phase, and a re-discovery review.
ROI
The company says it works through a weekly working agreement rather than a long-term contract and measures ROI through weekly reviews, monthly validation, and quarterly optimization.
Enhance your ROI and profitabilityOur business exists to make yours better
When business owners thrive, everyone wins: families, teams, communities. Our success is measured by the freedom and wealth we create, not the fees we collect.
Small businesses employ nearly half of American workers. But too many owners are prisoners of their own success, trapped by consultants who sell dreams and deliver disappointment.
We exist to change that story.
