AK is a very diversified company that helps manage sales and marketing as well as operational, and regulatory areas for their clients. In addition, AK performs due diligence for acquisitions and dispositions, and recently added to their capabilities, the buying and selling of properties and business for their clients. AK is a young company run by a visinary industry professional with a great deal of experience, and it staffed by people who are highly talented. The work they do has generated significant improvements for their clients, as I witness when I came across AK in my tenure working as a senior due diligence, operations and financial consultant for a major healthcare company. AK partnered with us to build revenue and to turn around and unprofitable division. The results were miraculous.
Michael Lyman, Senior Due Diligence Expert, VC


My experience with AK consultants was fantastic. As the leader of sales team, it was so refreshing to have a third-party provide objective insights. My team and myself have definitely gained from the wealth of knowledge the folks over at AK provide.

AK Consultants & Healthcare was with us at every step of the way through the selling of our business. They did not pressure us to sell, but rather laid out options for us to grow or sell. Initially they worked with us to improve our marketing reach, which helped us to better position our business for sale. By providing a valuation of our company, we were able to confidently decline offers that were too low, allowing us to maximize our selling price. Throughout the diligence period, they assisted us with the buyer’s information requests, thereby reducing the time to close. Overall, AK Consultants & Healthcare was a trusted partner throughout the entire process.
Roberta Rexroth


I hired AK Consultants & Healthcare in 2019 to help launch our Adult Day Care Center, based on a recommendation from the local chamber of commerce.

She developed both short- and long-term marketing strategies for TLC Adult Care and Recreation Center and trained our business development staff, equipping us with the tools needed to achieve and sustain our marketing goals.

Griffin resources worked with me to recruit a new sales manager to grow my in-home care agency. I was so fortunate to be assigned Shannon, a seasoned healthcare professional with extensive sales experience, as my fractional recruiter.

During the recruitment process. one of Griffin Senior Financial consultants, Sergei developed a sales rofitability analysis to infform the compensation model for my new sales manager. following the succesful recruitment, I engaged Griffin to help coach my new sales manager. and Shannon has once again been amazing! She meets with my sales manger weekly and debriefs with me regularly. Shannon has helped put new structure and systems into place to set our new sales manager up for success and our revanue is alereaady growing. I highly recomend Griffin Resources for anyone looking to attract top talent and scale their business.
Sara H. Cave, Owner/Administrator Always Best Care Senior Services.


We’ve been working with Griffin Resources for about a month now, we decided to move forward with you because after working on our referral marketing strategy over the last couple of years we just weren’t gaining the traction we desired. We were immediately drawn to the fact that you worked hand in hand with the Platinum Sales Training Process. So far, we’ve been very pleased with your rigorous approach. We started off having Griffin train three (3) Sales People and a Sales Manager. We’ve already seen that close mentoring, clear goals and consistent follow up are yielding results. Our Team is now more focused than ever. I am proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in such a short time! I look forward to continued incremental growth through a clear logical approach. Thank you Shannon and Tim for your guidance!

Collaboration between Touchstone Home Care and Griffin Resources has been nothing short of amazing. Open communication and finding the perfect fit for our Agency was key. Griffin Resources and team made this process seamless. Thank you for all your efforts in this process!!!!

Touchstone Home Care

After a couple of less than ideal hires, I did not trust myself this time to hire for our Business Development position. I hoped by hiring Griffin I would be in expert hands. While there were setbacks here and there, I did feel this project was in the right, and yes expert, hands. They culled through countless resumes and rejected candidates I might have hired with likely disastrous results. They held fast to requirements and standards. Candidates went through several interviews and hiring assessment tools before reaching me for consideration. We also worked through comp package options and arrived at a package my budget can handle. In the end, I hired my new Business Development and Senior Advisor…. she has about 15 years in the Senior field, is personable and driven. She starts in a month and I can’t wait to see how she does!My experience with Griffin Resources (Formerly AK consultants) was fantastic. As the leader of sales team, it was so refreshing to have a third-party provide objective insights. My team and myself have definitely gained from the wealth of knowledge the folks over at Griffin Resources provide.

I am truly astonished at the success of using Griffin Resources leadership coaching program and most importantly, of how quickly things started to happen. Tracy has a special skill to understand the people she is coaching and bring out the very best of them while having them laser focused on goals that we agreed upon ahead of time. I have told so many of my peers that I can show the best ROI on using this program and it happened so much faster than I ever thought possible. Best investment that I ever made.

“If you’re running a business and need HR support—whether it’s handling compliance, supporting your existing team, or being your HR department—Griffin Resources is the team you want in your corner.
My family’s businesses have worked with them for nearly half a decade, and they’ve been an absolute GODSEND 🙌.
The best part? They’ve adapted with us—adjusting their support as we’ve grown and evolved. No more stressing over compliance and HR details—we get to focus on running the business while they handle the rest …
Highly recommend!”

“ Working with Shannon Tremel at Griffin Resources has been an absolute game-changer for my success in medical sales. Over just three months, I went from struggling to generate referrals to consistently securing them in my role with a home care company. As a seasoned marketing and sales professional with over 24 years of experience, I’ve navigated many industries, but the unique demands of medical sales; rigorous face-to-face meetings, strong relationship-building, and strategic networking—presented new challenges. Shannon’s training provided the structure, accountability, and insights I needed to make an immediate impact. Her coaching style blends encouragement, strategic guidance, role-playing, and actionable feedback, all of which helped me refine my approach and accelerate my results. Shannon understands what it takes to excel in this competitive space, and her expertise has been invaluable in sharpening my skills. I highly recommend her and Griffin Resources. “
