TO HELP COMPANIES CONNECT SMARTER™ WITH THEIR MARKETS
The vision behind GHI began in the late '80's when GHI's Founder, Frank Griffith, began his entrepreneurial life in starting up software companies in Northeast, Ohio. Mr. Griffith quickly learned his emerging market, personal computer software, had many inventors but few growers - people who knew how to grow markets.
Technical genius was everywhere; product creation was endless; but marketing capital - finding, securing, serving, and maintaining customers - was a rare quality.
Frank knew how to market. And sell. He knew how to use the telephone and how to leverage appropriate marketing mediums. And later, he eventually learned how to use the Internet to connect products with people, successfully taking an Internet software company public.
Consequently, Griffith Holdings was born to help companies connect with their markets. Through traditional sales and marketing strategies. Then by leveraging creative voice, data, and IP telephones. And finally, through the Internet.
GHI's mission for more than 10 years has remained the same: To help companies connect smarter™ to their markets through a customized combination of Internet, marketing, and telephone services.
Whatever method a company uses to gain and retain customers, GHI can help.
However large or small a company is, GHI can help.
And after 10 years, GHI has helped more than 4,000 companies do just that - cost effectively, efficiently and responsibly gain and retain customers.
Extending our Purpose to the Third World Through Micro-Economic Enablement
More recently, GHI has extended its purpose to help companies connect smarter™ by directly contributing capital, business mentoring, and encouragement to help jumpstart more than 240 family-owned, small, cottage-industry firms in the third world.
