Describe How You Would Like To Be Introduced Via Email
Austin Odle works with business owners who are running faster than their systems can keep up, the ones who feel like every decision, every fire, and every bottleneck still runs through them. He founded Odle Consulting after a decade of operator-level work across field services, acquisitions, and multi-state businesses, so he shows up from a practitioner's chair, not a slide deck. He helps owners find what is actually broken underneath the problems they can name, and build a business that runs without them holding every piece of it together. If you know an owner who is scaling, restructuring, or preparing for an exit and feels stretched past what their current setup can handle, Austin is worth a conversation.
What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
Most business owners are smart, capable people buried under problems they did not sign up for. Org charts that do not work. Decisions that keep coming back. Teams that are trying but not executing. I built Odle Consulting because I have been in those rooms, I know what the real problems usually are underneath the ones people name, and I would rather spend my time helping owners solve them than watching good businesses grind to a halt for fixable reasons.
Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
1. Is there a decision your leadership team keeps circling back to without ever landing it?
.2 Does your business depend on you personally for things it probably should not?
3. Are you thinking about growing, restructuring, or eventually stepping away, but not sure what has to be true first?
Unique Selling Proposition
Most consultants hand owners a framework that looks good in a presentation and falls apart the following Tuesday. Odle Consulting works differently, because Austin has actually sat in the operator's chair. He has built operating infrastructure from scratch, turned around underperforming businesses, led acquisitions, and built the systems that let a business run without the founder carrying everything. Clients get specific, executable recommendations rooted in how businesses actually work, not theory. The tagline is honest: Helping Make Big Problems Small.
About me
I have spent my career in the operator's chair, and I founded Odle Consulting in 2023 to bring that experience to owners who need it. Before the firm, I served as VP of Operations and Strategy for a multi-state franchise group, where I turned a negative-margin business to profitability, restructured the organization three times in 18 months, and led human capital diligence for a $6.5M acquisition. I also served in the US Army for five years, including operational leadership across multiple international deployments. I hold an MBA from the University of Denver. My consulting work focuses on small and mid-size businesses navigating growth inflection points: org structure, planning, execution systems, accountability frameworks, and exit readiness. I also run a free suite of AI-powered business tools at tools.odleconsulting.com that anyone can use without a sales call. I live in Severance, CO and work with clients locally and remotely. Bilingual in English and Spanish.
