about confidentiality

Though many companies may post their client lists or the logos of the companies to which they provide services, CCG ensures each of our clients complete confidentiality. For this reason, you will never see our clients' logos or names, just a description of the work we've provided and a general description of the industry in which the company operates. Your communications and training business is just that: your business. We respect your trust in us and keep your strategies confidential.

—Jeff Braun, president, Crucial Communications Group
