When involved in the start-up of any business, I have always worked with John Kamp (The Business Kamp) to seek guidance on the best way to develop the business plan and the most effective way to bring the plan to fruition.
John draws on a wealth of experience to provide logical, sensible advice on how to set priorities, test assumptions, and plan your work activities. He actually creates a road map to follow, representing the critical decision points and the questions to consider at each point.
Whether you are starting a new business or struggling with your existing business, I highly recommend that you consult John Kamp. Whatever the situation, he has seen it and done it, and he is the absolute best person to help you negotiate the maze. You don’t need to invent the wheel – John already has!
John Kamp is brilliant, but a number of consultants are. What sets him apart is that he also is thoughtful, patient, understanding, flexible and committed to helping the people with whom he works succeed, as long as they are willing to make the necessary effort.If you fail to build a successful business when working with John Kamp, it will be because you didn’t follow the steps he outlined – for whatever reason. Fear of failure, maybe? He can help you with that, too.
Janelle Hecker, Office Manager, Ignacio Valley Christian School
John Kamp brought his business expertise to the table as we worked on mapping the financials and business systems at Ygnacio Valley Christian School. His way of explaining how systems benefit and what information he needs to then outline the system is energizing. I was encouraged by John that I had everything I needed, but without the proper systems it is difficult to retrieve the information. John will be beneficial to businesses large and small, from fine tuning procedures to starting at the very beginning. I look forward to the next phase of our working relationship.

I have known John for over 20 years. Initially I worked with John as a reseller and John was a channel sales manager for a large business equipment company. I had the Hawaii sales territory for his company’s products and services and I needed marketing help. John delivered on his promise he assisted me and my team to grow sales by taking time to learn and understand and the unique business environment of Hawaii and to adapt his sales and marketing programs to meet the needs of the Hawaiian marketplace.
The second time our paths crossed was when John was president of a large industry-association that I was a member of. John nominated me to join a special marketing advisory group were we collaborated on ideas around industry trends, sales and marketing strategies, product training and sharing of industry best practices. Over the 5 years that I was a member of the advisory group I realized that John was an born leader, with a passion for excellence and sharing.
The last time our paths crossed was when John hired me to be his replacement (President) at a division of a public company. In his role as my mentor, John demonstrated, through his own actions, his effective and efficient management skills in the following areas of our business: Goal Planning, KPI, Budgeting, Sales and Operations Management, Decision Making, Leadership and Control.
John is much more than a business associate or boss to me. He is a true friend and business professional that is excited about life and helping others. If a company is in need of a great executive leader John should be seriously considered as your best candidate.
