Principal Consultant
Questel & AssociatesPrincipal Consultant
Jan. 2000Greater Nashville Area, TNIn 2000 I started Questel & Associates as a consulting firm focused on working with publishers and other associated businesses in the publishing community. Since that time clients have expanded well beyond the publishing community. There is a great deal of similarity between publishing and ministries, and I have spent enough time in both of those fields to be of service to any ministries that have a product or donor component to their organization. My key focus in publishing has always been sales, marketing and distribution. Most ministries have those same needs but with different labels. Having worked in the Christian publishing world I have the background and sensitivity to help any ministry or non-profit accomplish those key tasks in the context of what they do and what their constituencies expect. I have a team that shares this background and can move quickly to meet a short-term need or provide strategy and long-term tactical solutions.
