Clients say…


“My issue was that my sales and client relationship teams were underperforming. Poorly written and presented proposals, poorly prepared teams, inadequate understanding of client requirements – all culminating in losing business.

“Dan and the team helped us with this. They used simple techniques focused on the client first to hold the mirror up to us about how bad our interactions were.

“Has it worked? You bet – win rates are up. Well-prepared teams are happier and more confident . . . and certainly more buyable for our clients.”

Christine Wyatt

General Manager, IBM GBS

“Tollejo was able to take a complex product, turn it into a simple story with a great commercial plan – and implement it.”

Iain Gibbons

Customer Director

“I’m deeply impressed by the way Tollejo structured their programmes. Once we had our story and strategy, we could really drive some amazing results.”

Ewan MacLeod

Chief Digital Officer

“Tollejo nails the brief each time. “They take the time to understand our business—and they understand the challenges of landing messaging and positioning in large, matrixed organisations.

“They’ve helped us position service offerings, create thought leadership, and build corresponding sales enablement and marketing materials.

“The team loves working with them.”
