  • Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
    Subject: Introduction: Rob Broadhead (RB Consulting) & {Name}

    I’d like to introduce you to Rob Broadhead, founder of RB Consulting, and a trusted technology strategist with over 30 years of experience helping organizations turn technology into a business advantage.

    Rob works with leaders who feel their technology has become complex, fragmented, or misaligned with where the business is going. Through a vendor-agnostic, business-first approach, RB Consulting helps organizations simplify systems, reduce risk, and create clear, actionable technology roadmaps.

    Rob often supports clients as a fractional CIO, strategic advisor, or assessment-led consultant—bridging the gap between day-to-day IT decisions and long-term business strategy. His focus is always on clarity, ROI, and helping teams move forward with confidence.

    I think the two of you would benefit from connecting, and I’ll let you take it from here.

    Pre-Introduction (Warmer Setup)

    Subject: A Practical, Business-First Approach to Technology Strategy

    I’d like to introduce you to Rob Broadhead, founder of RB Consulting. I’ve seen firsthand how his structured, no-nonsense approach helps organizations gain clarity around their technology and make smarter decisions faster.

    What sets RB Consulting apart is the focus on practical outcomes, not buzzwords or vendor agendas. Rob helps leaders understand what they have, what’s working, what isn’t—and what to do next.

    Why organizations work with RB Consulting:
    • Efficient & Actionable – Engagements like the 4-hour technology assessment deliver clear insights and a prioritized roadmap without long, expensive consulting cycles.
    • Vendor-Agnostic Guidance – Recommendations are always based on business needs, not tied to specific platforms or products.
    • Executive-Level Perspective – Fractional CIO support provides strategic IT leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time hire.
    • Broad, Real-World Experience – Over 30 years working with startups through Fortune-scale organizations across multiple industries.
    • Focus on Simplification & Integration – Less noise, fewer tools, better connections, and more room for growth.

    If you’d like, I’d be happy to make an introduction. Rob is deeply focused on helping organizations use technology intentionally, efficiently, and in direct support of their business goals.
  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    I love solving problems—especially the kind that quietly frustrate leaders and teams every day.

    I do this work because I enjoy helping people regain clarity, reduce stress, and make technology feel like an asset instead of a burden. When systems work well, people enjoy their work more—and that improves both business outcomes and quality of life.
  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    These questions help surface whether a conversation with RB Consulting would be valuable:
    1. “Do you feel your technology is actively supporting your business goals—or slowing you down?”
    2. “Are you evaluating new tools, or struggling to make your current systems work together?”
    3. “Is your technology environment prepared to support growth, expansion, or change?”
  • Unique Selling Proposition
    RB Consulting combines deep technical expertise with business-level strategy—without selling software or pushing platforms.

    What makes us different:
    1. Vendor-Agnostic Strategy
    Every recommendation is objective and aligned to the client’s goals—not a sales quota.
    2. Fast, Actionable Clarity
    The 4-hour assessment delivers a tangible roadmap leaders can act on immediately.
    3. Fractional CIO Leadership
    Executive-level guidance without the overhead of a full-time hire.
    4. Cross-Industry Experience
    Proven lessons from startups to enterprise environments, applied pragmatically.
    5. Simplification, Integration & Automation
    Fewer tools, better systems, and technology that frees people to focus on growth.
