Client Testimonials

"Recently, we found ourselves in a situation where we had to make a decision to hire an internal IT manager or outsource the need. At the same time, our organization was in need of major technical changes to our IT infrastructure and systems.  Wayne and the folks at Work Heartily quickly stepped in to lead our team to get through the immediate challenges and establish our strategies moving forward.  

We have been more than pleased with their attention to detail and understanding the specific needs required for our medical specialty. I highly recommend Work Heartily and their team of professionals."

Earl Anderson, CEO Tennessee Orthopaedic Clinics

Clarus is a healthcare SaaS product that streamlines provider follow-up and team coordination through an easy-to-use platform and robust app designed for providers. It’s an all-inclusive communications system, built from the ground up for physician practices.

Due to a renewed drive for market growth, Clarus needed expertise in sales leadership. Through a Work Heartily fractional Chief Customer Officer engagement, Clarus gained clarity on existing sales team capabilities, refined sales scripts, increased confidence, and refined prospecting practices.

"My experience working with Work Heartily has consistently left me impressed with their level of expertise and professionalism. They have been a valuable partner in helping us navigate the complex landscape of navigating our current and future technology needs. My experience with the team at Work Heartily has been excellent. They are reliable, responsive, and always go above and beyond to meet our needs. I highly recommend their services to any business looking to take their business to the next level." 

Wendy Warrington, CEO Sober Grid


"The Work Heartily team helped TNNFB initiate and navigate a period of growth. We were able to increase our workflow efficiency because of their technical knowledge about our network infrastructure, and our clinic has been running smoothly as a result. Their knowledge of cybersecurity and the inner workings of HIPAA allowed us to develop protocols to keep us safe and address potential issues in the future.

They also assisted in identifying new referral sources and tracking metrics to expand our reach so we can fulfill our mission to serve children and adults facing barriers to mental and emotional well-being. Jonathan coached us in honing our vision for future expansion as we seek to help more clients overcome mental health challenges and cognitive deficits.”

Kelsi Ray, BCN-T, General Manager TN Neurofeedback

Jonathan's strategic and tactical ability to develop a plan and execute was a pivotal moment for my company as we transitioned from a B to C model to a B to B model. I would highly recommend Work Heartily to any CEO-Founder of any business in need of a significant boost in sales.“ 

Neil Amrhein, Founder & CEO My Goat

Brock Starnes, Producer

“Work Heartily's incredible insight into hiring best practices enabled us to craft a strategy to find the right people to fill our extremely varied employment needs. Our engagement was a valuable use of our time and money, and Jonathan was quite efficient. His contribution has been exceptionally important to the long term plans of our company."

Thomas Purifoy, Founder & CEO Compass Classroom

"I came to Work Heartily with the simple desire to grow my business by growing my team. My team grew from 0 to three employees this year, and Jonathan greatly helped me make that transition. It was totally worth the investment, and I walked away having received exactly what I had hoped for."
