What Strategic Partners does

Strategic Partners (legal entity Strategicpartners Inc., operating under the trade identity Strategic Marketing Partners) is a privately held business consulting firm headquartered at 105 Sycamore St, Kokomo, Indiana. Founded in 1996 and operating with 1-10 employees, the firm delivers three integrated professional service lines: recruiting of critical employees for businesses; managed direct sales programs in the energy, cable, and internet sectors nationwide; and business consulting covering turnaround, strategic planning, critical execution, and access to capital. Service delivery is consultative and project-based, with no public pricing or packaged SKUs; engagements are scoped per client via direct contact.

The firm pursues a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion targeting U.S.-based businesses. Its primary customer segments are companies seeking employee recruitment, energy/cable/internet operators looking to improve sales closing rates and post-sale retention, and firms in crisis or transformation needing turnaround advisory. The firm reports operational scale metrics including 1,900+ sales per week generated and managed in direct sales operations and customer retention exceeding 85% in major cities, positioning it around immediate-results outcomes for clients. Marketing channels are limited to a basic website and direct email, with no disclosed social presence or partnership programs.

Strategic Partners is a small, mature consulting practice with no disclosed funding history, M&A activity, partnerships, patents, awards, leadership changes, named customer logos, or technology platform. The combination of a sub-10-employee headcount, nationwide direct sales operations, and 20+ years of continuous operation indicates a stable, privately-held service firm rather than a venture-backed growth business.
