The Daniel Group

The Daniel Group is a Charlotte, North Carolina–based customer experience (CX) technology and consulting firm that helps industrial and manufacturing companies turn feedback into measurable business growth. Founded in 1989, the company is best known for ExperienceConnect, its secure, cloud-based, omni-channel feedback platform that captures customer and employee insights via phone, email, SMS, and web, then delivers real-time dashboards, role-based alerts, case tracking, and benchmarking to drive action. Recognized for deep sector expertise in manufacturing, heavy equipment, agricultural machinery, and industrial automation, The Daniel Group serves a who’s who of B2B brands and is trusted by roughly 75–80% of North American Caterpillar dealers, as well as AGCO, Navistar (IC Bus), Blue Bird, Okuma, and others. With more than one million B2B surveys completed and a reputation for “phone survey mastery,” the firm uncovers nuanced insights that digital-only approaches often miss, and complements its technology with Advanced Insights, Embedded—custom analytics and highly visual dashboards powered by Microsoft Power BI—so leaders can identify CX drivers, quantify ROI, and prioritize high-impact improvements. Beyond feedback programs, The Daniel Group provides market research, employee feedback, and hands-on consulting to close the loop, align sales and operations, and build customer-centric cultures. Its CX Institute delivers certifications, executive workshops, and frontline manager training, and the company convenes annual client conferences to share best practices and peer benchmarks. Client outcomes include sustained NPS improvement, higher retention and referrals, and better cross-functional alignment; for example, HOLT CAT improved NPS from the low 70s to low 80s over 13 years by embedding feedback across touchpoints, while Thomas Built Buses and Altec streamlined communications and accelerated resolution of customer friction points. Transparent, flexible pricing, expert-led implementation, and an industrial B2B focus distinguish The Daniel Group as a strategic partner for organizations seeking to elevate service quality, protect revenue, and convert CX insights into durable competitive advantage.

The Ivan Palmer Group

Founded in 2010 during a challenging economic period, The Ivan Palmer Group is an award‑winning boutique search firm focused on the intersection of food manufacturing and accounting talent across the United States. Established by three executive recruiters with a combined 40 years of experience and led by founder Joseph Folley—a UC Davis graduate who built his craft at Management Recruiters and has recruited in the food manufacturing sector for more than a decade—the firm is deliberately small, lean, and client‑centric.

This methodology consistently yields shortlists of qualified, culturally aligned, and geographically realistic candidates, often local to client sites or with a strong personal reason to relocate. Their values—never give up on a search, always follow through, and relentlessly reach a “Hire” ground—translate into rigorous prescreening, structured interview coordination, transparent communication, and hands‑on offer negotiation to ensure smooth transitions from candidate to employee. Working nationwide in all 50 states, the firm partners with HR leaders, plant managers, engineering managers, finance and accounting heads, and executive teams to deliver critical hires across food and beverage production and broader consumer goods manufacturing, as well as core accounting functions within plant and corporate environments. Client testimonials highlight the group’s ability to surface talent not seen through traditional channels and to make the hiring process both efficient and personable. By combining executive search discipline with permanent placement expertise in a high‑touch model, The Ivan Palmer Group provides a trusted alternative to volume recruiting, helping organizations build teams that can meet modern manufacturing demands while maintaining financial rigor and operational excellence.
