Questions from Buffalo owners
We’re busy and reactive—how do we stop putting out fires and still grow in Buffalo?
We help you map the real constraints—people, process, capacity, and customer handoffs—then build an execution cadence (priorities, owners, measures) that turns urgent work into planned work.
Can you work with our team if we’re not based in Canada?
Yes. Modern Marks serves Buffalo, NY clients as a service area, primarily through remote engagements with leadership and managers. We can also support on-site when practical to reduce friction and accelerate implementation.
What’s the difference between business consulting and fractional-COO support?
Consulting focuses on diagnosing and designing the path—strategy, operating model, and priorities. Fractional-COO is hands-on operations leadership to implement processes, run governance, and stabilise day-to-day delivery.
Our managers are overwhelmed and priorities change weekly. Will coaching really help?
Coaching creates a practical management system: clearer goals, better meeting discipline, faster feedback loops, and accountability habits. The outcome is less churn, more follow-through, and improved team confidence.
We’re scaling. How do we keep quality and timelines from slipping?
Fractional-COO work strengthens operational controls—intake, scheduling, handoffs, SOPs where needed, and metrics that leadership can trust—so growth increases capacity rather than stress.

What business owners say about us
I had the pleasure of meeting Jani last night when he made a presentation at Langley Elks.
Very knowledgeable and lots of information ...
I had a consultation session with Jani, and it was a great experience. He provided clear, practical strategies tailored to my business and shared valuable markting insignts. I appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, and honest advice.
I've been struggling with how to grow my voice-over business and Jani was able to show me a path past several roadblocks. Just one call and I have 3 ways I can improve my business today as well as a few specific research topics to look further into. Definitely recommend.
I highly recommend Modern Marks Business Consultants. I had a great telephone consultation with Jani covering ideas for customer growth. Building and implementing technology into the business for stream lining things that I am not as proficient at.
Thank you Jani I am excited to get started and implement the things we discussed.

Signed up for the Essential package with Modern Marks specifically to tighten up my sales process, and it’s made a real difference. Instead of feeling pushy or scripted, I now have a natural, step-by-step way to talk to potential customers that actually builds trust. We worked through common objections together — like pricing pushback — so I’m no longer caught off guard on calls. My close rate has noticeably improved, and I feel far more confident going into every conversation.
Beyond sales, Jani also helped me clean up my operations — we built simple checklists for the everyday tasks that used to only live in my head, which made it so much easier to stay organized and consistent. One-on-one sessions are practical and specific to my business, not generic advice. Thank you, Jani, for giving me the tools and the confidence to close deals the right way and run things more smoothly behind the scenes. Highly recommend if you want to stop guessing on sales calls. Thanks for everything, Jani!
I just had a phone call with Jani, and it was fantastic.
As someone in the renovation industry, I’ve always found it difficult to trust business coaches because it’s easy to assume they won’t fully understand the unique challenges of running a construction company. I’m really glad I gave Jani the opportunity.
Even without a construction background, Jani quickly identified gaps in my systems and processes, asked the right questions, and provided practical advice that gave me a much clearer path forward. His ability to understand my business and pinpoint areas for improvement was genuinely impressive.
If you’re looking for a business coach who can help you build better systems, improve operations, and scale your business with confidence, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jani.
