Donn Palms, Inc. has grown on multiple levels over the last few years. Moreover, our client representation has grown and we now represent one of the top Global 2000 corporations. Our organization has a high success rate of delivering results to our clients. We are also building long-lasting relationships with business customers. Furthermore, we are developing our people into top business professionals in many fields.
Two years ago, we secured a partnership with several areas of Amazon's business development division. Amazon understands that in order to effectively introduce a service to a small to midsized business, they need a company that can effectively build a consultative relationship with that business. This is where we come in!
With Amazon as our spotlight client, we expanded our portfolio of clients within our OWN business development project - which we just launched as the Mighty marketplace.
Fast forward to today---we are now the leading channel of acquisition for Amazon Business, and are spearheading regional, national and global growth. Our dedication to our team as well as our ability to continue to crush goals set forth by Amazon Business' development team has lead to our expansion all over the Michigan and Ohio including…..
Grand Rapids, MI…. Kalamazoo, MI …. Cleveland, OH …. Toledo, OH….. Akron/Canton, OH …. Youngstown, OH
While the ability to grow market share on behalf of Amazon is beginning in these areas, we are also continuing to grow throughout Metro Detroit.
Mighty is also growing behind the scenes and will include corporate clients in many different industries including technology, conservation and energy, business supplies, web services, merchant processing, pharmaceutical, and financial services. We continue to add great clients to our Mighty portfolio in order to help small to mid-sized businesses grow and prosper.
