Testimonials
“Our company has grown very significantly in recent years, and deal sizes have grown by an order of magnitude. We recognised the need to implement more rigorous bid management processes to ensure we proactively managed risk, delivered efficiently and kept our customers happy.
ChangeBEAT were the obvious choice to help us as they brought ExecKIT, their library of best practice, as well as genuine industry expertise. As a result we have seen a substantial “tightening up” of our bid management and improvement in our delivery productivity.” Portrait Software
“The Sales Toolkit has proved to be a valuable tool purely because it makes my life easier. On a customer site I just printed off a document (it made me look professional as I responded so quickly!!). The process is easy to follow, I have shown it to a number of the account team and it puts some structure and consistency to our work.” EMC Professional Services (UK)
“Well structured, stimulating, interactive and enjoyable. Don’t change a winning formula!” Consyse
“After meeting ChangeBEAT at an industry seminar we asked them to work with us to formulate our marketing plan. ChangeBEAT held a series of workshop sessions with senior management to help and guide us in analysing the market, identifying a desirable niche and developing the appropriate marketing strategy and sales proposition. The sessions were intense and forced us to be honest about our good, as well as our bad, points. We would not have done this without ChangeBEAT.” Cyberscience Corporation

“We engaged ChangeBEAT to help develop a tailored sales process, a sales support system and the necessary training. We adapted and customised ChangeBEAT’s ExecKIT material incorporating our own existing procedures. We liked the fact that we were building a sales process that’s success had been proven by other IT software and services companies.
Within one month the new sales process was already showing benefits, particularly in the areas of qualification and risk planning and bid review. ChangeBEAT did a thoroughly professional job.” NSB

"The ChangeBEAT guys are very clear about their focus and it is great to see. They're feet on the ground people - know the industry, take a lot of trouble to understand their clients, have a strong set of methodologies and are not ology-fixated. Talk to them!" Schroeder Forbes
“The single most important thing ChangeBEAT brought to us was the documented best practice. Doubtless we could have created something given plenty of time and resource, but it would have taken us far too long and we may have struggled to find the right balance between being pragmatic, realistic and useful, whilst remaining consistent, controlled and scalable.
The project has been an absolute prerequisite to our (EMC Professional Services) success. We simply could not have grown in the way we have without it, and maintained customer and employee satisfaction.” EMC
“We always knew we had world beating technology, so we engaged ChangeBEAT to help us turn this into a world beating market proposition. In just two memorable days, they used their ExecKIT methodology to hone our detailed market proposition and a “go to market” sales toolkit. We held a lively, interactive workshop involving our senior management, sales and marketing, and creative people. Everyone was involved in the brainstorming and taking the all important decisions.
The results have been amazing. We knew we had fantastic technology, but ChangeBEAT helped us to really rev up the sales. A month after the workshop sales increased by £55,000 and have since grown steadily by 30% per month. Quite simply the new sales strategy works.” Tangozebra
