“Carroll
 I have had the privilege of working with the
         Tomorrow team for several years on
 many different projects, and they don’t take a
 ‘one size fits all’ approach. Every prospective
 new or expanding business has different goals,
 so rolling out the same proposal to everyone
 who makes an inquiry is not going to be
 effective. At Carroll Tomorrow, they listen to the
 needs, they study the opportunity and then they
