Precision Consulting Reviews 185

I wasn't really sure how to get started actually. I just needed an editor, but my work was over 200 pages and had been sent back a couple of times. Obviously the writing center wasn't much of a help and I had a bad experience with a guy that was recommended by a friend as an editor. Now I was on my final submission and wasn't really sure what to do. A friend of my wife's told me about this company. Admittedly, I had reservations about calling Precision but when I called they seemed to know their stuff and were up front me with about the weaknesses they saw in my dissertation. I worked with Szamor and they only needed a few days to fix my work. I'm done with school for good now and I'm even thinking about using them again for journal publication.

It was a pleasure working with Precision. They provided analysis for some clinical trials from my lab extremely quickly and professionally. They even noted that there were even some additional statistical tests that would be worthwhile to complete that our team had not included as part of our methodology. They graciously included this in the analysis and then updated the methods write-up as well. I want to extend a special thank you to Clark, Craig, and Ben for their excellence and outstanding service provided. We will definitely be using Precision for future projects.

Before I reached out to Precision I thought going back for to school was the worst decision of my life. I had spent years and it seemed like I was going to fail out of my program. I was regretting making a huge investment with nothing to show for it. I found Precision and Ben pointed out a bunch of things that my professor hadn't reviewed and would require me to rewrite my entire report. I was skeptical at first but after 4 months of going nowhere, I finally hired Precision and I’m glad I did. It was definitely nerve-racking, but I am so grateful for Ben and their team as a resource I have no doubt in passing this course!

I hired them to help me redo a 25 question presentation survey. It took months. They kept apologizing. At one point they said I could not talk to the person who actually did the work on the survey unless I paid $900. But then he reduced it when I said I only wanted to talk 20 minutes. But to want to charge me to talk to the person who did the work is such bad business. And he had the nerve to say that I could not talk to their consultants as "they have to keep their consultants busy working" as if working with me was not in that equation. He even said they don't usually make their analysts available over the phone, as their time is so valuable. And who am I but the customer? A nightmare. I am not satisfied with what they did. I had to fix it. The process was demoralizing, demeaning and took the wind out of my excitement. And they made me pay upfront before I could see the results of the work. I would never use them.I even tried to call the president and he would not talk to me.

I have to admit, I was uncomfortable with the idea of hiring a consultant at first. I didn't really understand the process and was running out of time. I had just about talked myself out of using one and was about to give up since my committee just seemed to have it out for me. Then I talked to Szamore and he and the team went to bat for me. I kind of just felt that I had made the right call when I started speaking with him upset after my work had just been kicked back to me and by the end of the call I was feeling like there was hope and we had a plan. I still can't really believe how quickly they were able to fix revisions that had been sent back two other times. I wish they had told me about the fact that the initial consultation was free, because honestly, I think part of why I put it off for so long was because I didn't want to get stuck paying for something I wasn't sure of. In the end, it was the right choice for me and I'm glad I called.

As a working adult student, I highly recommend Precision Consulting for any others who, like I did, hit a moment of “What was I thinking?” There is really only so much time in a day, and I got to a point where I could not cope with the demands on my time from my dissertation, raising two teenagers, and working full time. Precision took some of this off my shoulders by helping with my literature review chapter and later on my qualitative coding and thematic analysis. They even had NVivo which is what my committee wanted me to use for my data analysis. They did a superb job with my study and probably kept me from having to quit my doctoral program or have a nervous breakdown. I’m so grateful to Precision!

Thank you to the entire Precision team that worked on my study. I didn't think I would be able to finish my doctorate and then I was referred to Cathrin. It was probably the best decision I ever made to actually pick up the phone and connect with her. Since she came into my life, I was able to take charge of my dissertation journey and today you can finally call me a doctor. I'll never forget her. I have had this dream for so long. I am sitting and applying for teaching jobs and there were so many times I thought this time would never come. I am planning to publish my dissertation as an article too and you can bet I will reach out to Precision and to Cathrin for guidance during that.

I am so blessed to have a consultant who has given me the strength and knowledge to complete my dissertation. Cathrin Myburgh is not only a fantastic person, but she is also knowledgeable in completing dissertations. Her support was unending, and I have wondered many times whether I would have had the strength to complete this project if it wasn’t for Cathrin’s support, knowledge, guidance, and direction. I have earned a valuable friend who I cherish and someone who has gained my complete respect. That is not an easy thing to do! My committee does not have it, as I would have been on my own without Cathrin and likely still stuck near the beginning. She made it so I could balance all of my responsibilities and be a mom and a good employee, I could keep doing my dissertation because of her.

To write English is hard for me but I would not be discouraged. Putting thoughts together is easy but placing them on paper confidently is a different matter. I know that my work needed improvement and Precision took the time to make the necessary revisions for me so my work could be better presented. Their help saved me time and possibly my degree as well.

I have to thank Cathrin publicly for all of her help! Her advice and insight made the product so great and focused. It was not possible without her! While I am waiting to hear back, I take wonderful solace in the fact at the product is the highest level of quality. After hearing back, I am sure to rely upon her continued support and guidance. She has been with me through my whole journey up to now. It is so hard to see in front of me and the school does not help to clarify things. Cathrin always takes the time to make sure I know where I am headed and how everything fits together. The peace of mind I get from this is more valuable than the help with my project. Her nurturing and care are why I am still in my program, and it is why I know already that I will finish with my sanity!

I graduated today and I just I want to thank Cathrin Myburgh and her team at Precision for everything. I couldn’t have done this without her guidance and support, from day 1 until today. They have made the dissertation process so much easier and I am so grateful. I would have been stuck countless times without them. I just could not see eye to eye with my chair about alignment and spent more than 6 months before i finally decided to get help with my prospectus. After that they helped guide me through IRB and made sure that I knew what to expect. They were so much more helpful than my advisor, I wish I had contacted them a long time ago, when I started the dissertation. I would have graduated in 2018! I will definitely work with Precision again on some upcoming consulting.

My experience with Precision was short but sweet, because I had my dissertation pretty much written in full but I needed some finishing touches and guidance on the analysis to get through to final approval. I did my study on leadership and a number of workplace variables (commitment, engagement, satisfaction, etc.) and although I started out with a fairly straightforward methods plan, my study somehow evolved at the guidance of my very ambitious chair to the point where I needed to use SEM to address my RQs. This was somewhat beyond my comfort level, and I felt that I needed statistics experts on my team to help clarify what exactly my analysis had to say about my RQs. Precision’s team did a great job of clarifying my results (and they found a couple of errors that my committee missed) and also ran my full dissertation through editing and APA formatting. I really wanted to feel like I had command of my study, and Precision made that happen.

I do not recommend this company. It was only supposed to take three weeks from start to finish for a small portion of my thesis, and here we are three MONTHS later and I can’t even get basic edits, revisions, or solid and legitimate answers in a timely manner.

I started out dealing with Szamor, who talks a big game but accomplishes nothing. The first draft I received was three weeks late and so awful they discounted the price—and rightfully so because it was THAT bad...

The second draft was, surprisingly, much better, but still filled with errors. Now, I can’t get basic edits, revisions, and answers to questions in a timely manner or they just keep sending me the same incorrect info and it frustrates me to my core. This is basic stuff and it’s like pulling teeth.

I have to repeat myself, multiple times, and even then, I can barely get what I need, if at all, or they just give me bullsh** answers in an attempt to satisfy me. For the cost.... product quality, expertise, and efficiency are severely lacking. If I had a do over I would definitely not have chosen this company.

I was referred to Precision by a fellow teacher and good friend who had a great experience working with them on her EdD study. She had spent years trying to get her study moved forward with GCU but hit failure at every turn AND racked up a huge debt in tuition fees. Well, to put it bluntly, I spent about HALF what she did in tuition because I took her advice and started with Precision with my prospectus. I jumped through GCU’s hoops much faster than my friend and they even helped me prepare for my defense sessions so that I passed those with flying colors.

Not all editing services are the same! I used a friend to edit my thesis and she did a great job of helping me to make words flow better but she didn’t really get the details of apa the way precision did. After 4 rounds of revisions I was at my wits end and my boyfriend said he’d help me by paying for a professional editor. Precision came through like they said they would and not only did they help me to get my work approved - they helped coach me through my final defense too.

One of my big hesitations in using this company was that I saw some bad reviews online. They actually were the second company I used to help me get through the beginning of my dissertation. The first company only had a few dozen reviews, but they were all positive, so I thought I was in good hands. After being treated like I was non-important and suffering a couple months of wasted time, I ended up cutting my ties with the first company and just ate the loss of my money. I was really down to the wire though and couldn’t have gotten my work submitted in time if Precision hadn’t stepped in and actually delivered on what they said they would. Not only did they listen to my concerns and ask questions about things that even my chair hadn’t thought to point out but more importantly I got treated like I was a human being and felt respected. I would definitely use them again.

There are a lot of companies out there that talk a big game, but after being burned by two others, I was so glad that I found Precision. My analysis was apparently too complex for most and I kept getting people who tried to pass off regressions as econometrics. Then you’d tell them they did it wrong and they’d want more money to fix their mistakes! Fortunately, Precision wasn’t like that they actually listened to my concerns and did the analysis properly. Then when my supervisor kicked it back because I needed to amend some information, they handled the revisions without charging me anything. To be fair, they had told me the revisions were included, but I was a skeptic by that point. The proof is in the pudding and thanks to them I graduated on time!

I am so grateful to god for Precision. My Dean actually bragged to our entire cohort how difficult it is to complete the program! I knew immediately I needed help because I have never been the strongest student. When we had our first statistics class and I saw the syllabus I almost had a heart attack. I specifically took an online program because my work is so demanding. But this course had 4 different assignments every week! I found Precision and Ben and Clark made sure that every assignment and exam was completed to perfection -I got a 100 in the course. After that they helped me write my Masters thesis and we even got it published. I'm now looking at doctoral programs and I will definitely work with Precision again.

I was super stressed about my proposal defense, but the nice people at Precision got me ready. I hired them for their mock proposal defense service, and they paired me with a professor who knew *exactly* what my advisor and committee would ask me during the real thing. She anticipated and understood the decision I made between using Poisson and OLS regression, and not only asked me why during the mock defense, but also coached me on how best to answer the question! My answer was so good and thought-out and rehearsed that during the real defense, when my stats committee member asked me he simply nodded his head and said "Good!" after I responded!! Yaayyy Precision!! THANKKK YOOUUUU!!!!

Craig smith saves my entire degree! He gave me 5 mentoring sessions over the phone and I don’t know what I would have done without his insight. I received so much contradictory feedback from my mentor, I was feeling completely lost. Craig pointed out that many of my comments didn’t even follow my university rubric! He walked through all the areas I needed help with and shared clear notes about what to expand, and even suggested studies to include. I would have been completely lost without his input. My professor wanted me to include hypotheses for qualitative research questions. I had thought I was confused and not understanding but Craig gave me the courage to go above the head of my mentor and I was able to get tuitions for all the time wasted trying to answer comments that didn’t make sense. After I got approval for the proposal, Precision even helped with my final chapters and I’m graduating this Spring.
