How The Cincinnatus Group Began
The Cincinnatus Group is a sales and
marketing consulting firm offering contracted sales and
marketing consulting services to private and public
entities located throughout the world.
Founded by Andrew C. McCaffrey, The Cincinnatus Group
finds its primary challenge in two current
market/business conditions. At one and the same time,
these conditions present modern businesses with severe
challenges to growth and yet unparalleled opportunities.
The First Condition
|
| |
With ever increasing
speed, both new and traditional marketplaces
are transforming from highly profitable
ventures with little competition, into
globalized, low-profit, highly competitive
marketplaces.
|
The Second Condition
|
| |
Blindsided by the ever
increasing changes to their marketplace,
today’s executives and entrepreneurs often
find themselves caught up in “emergency
mode,” or damage control, overwhelmed with
the day-to-day demands of keeping their
business afloat. The forethought needed to
anticipate upcoming changes in the market,
let alone to react effectively, seems an
unattainable luxury.
|
To one degree or another,
every
business faces these same market forces.
The Cincinnatus
Group was founded to help
your company overcome them.
In Response to the First
Condition
|
| |
By working with your
company, The Cincinnatus Group can help
identify market strengths which would place
you ahead of the competition, if only your
potential customers better understood what
you do better than all the rest. From our
services as a Manufacturer Representative to
our many capabilities in Marketing, Sales
and Strategic Consulting, The Cincinnatus
Group strengthens awareness in the
marketplace of your company’s unique
strengths.
|
In Response to the
Second Condition
|
| |
The Cincinnatus Group
provides leadership in Strategic Consulting,
from the basics of Strategic Planning to the
management and implementation of a
structured marketing plan. Our experienced
and objective professionals have the ability
to analyze your company’s present and future
opportunities in a constantly changing
marketplace. |

The Story of the Emperor Cincinnatus
|
The Cincinnatus Group takes its name
from the Roman Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus. A figure of
legendary Roman virtue, Cincinnatus, having retired from
public office, was plowing his fields one day in 458
BCE, when he received an urgent plea to return to the
command of Rome’s armies. The city was under the attack
of Aequi and Volscian tribes.
At great risk to himself and with no desire for glory,
Cincinnatus took up his command, defeated the advancing
barbarians, and then returned to his farm, all within 16
days. |
 |
George Washington has been called an American
Cincinnatus because he rose to the defense of his
nation, but held command only until the defeat of the
British and, at a time when he could have been
proclaimed King, instead returned to the life of a
farmer at his beloved Mount Vernon.
The Cincinnatus Group holds no ambition higher than to
respond to the call of companies struggling in the new
and chaotic markets of the twenty first century, or
whose dream is to advance to the next level of success,
and by our efforts ensure a dramatic increase in gross
revenues. After achieving one success, we will simply
move on to help another, and another. Is the time right
for us to work with you?
