Our clients are why we're
here. So
we take their praise
and suggestions
very seriously. Below are a few samples
of what satisfied clients are saying
about The Whetstone Group.
"While working for a regional CPA firm, I had the privilege to work with The Whetstone Group on a number of initiatives. A particularly critical issue for the firm was defining our overall sales process and improving on our procedures for generating effective proposals. Within a relatively short timeframe, Lisa Rhatigan and Carrie Steffen spear-headed the project which provided us with not only customized solution- and benefits-oriented text, but also provided an overall process that allowed us to more efficiently produce a persuasive document. Based on their customized approach to training, in the end, we were able to reduce turnaround time as well as reduce the overall proposal preparation time for all involved - marketing, partners, and staff." - Charlotte Prom, Marketing Manager-Wisconsin, Grant Thornton LLP
"Whetstone did a
fabulous job setting up all of this and generating some very valuable leads.
We are already planning our next campaign. To our great delight, you have
proven that you are valuable teammates. Thanks for the great work! Many thanks
especially to the folks who worked the phones, set solid appointments, made
a good impression, represented us honorably and provided helpful follow-up
information. As we hope you can tell, we're delighted. Good job!"
- Steve Bell, Director of Sales, Womble Carlyle Law Firm
"We're starting to talk
TO prospects that, up until now, we've just talked ABOUT. We're running ahead
of our revenue goal so far this year and we attribute at least some of that
to our work with Whetstone." - Steve Titzer, President, Harding, Shymanski
& Company, P.C
"Whetstone's telephone lead generation team really stepped up when we needed
new business fast. They generated over 400 leads for us in just over a month
at a very low cost per appointment! They were so flexible in working with
us on the best approach. Their team was instrumental in getting our pipeline
filled." - Michael Bohning, Executive Vice President, e-Business Consulting,
RSM McGladrey, Inc.
"The Whetstone Group has really helped us focus on our business strategy
and build a growth plan that supports it. Using their Growth Planning Process
we've specifically defined our target markets in a way we never have before.
We've also focused on our core processes and product as opposed to bouncing
from one thing to another. The Whetstone Group is also helping us implement
our plan so we're pursuing growth rather than waiting for growth to happen."
- David M. Garza, CEO & President, Trinity Millennium Group, Inc.
"The Whetstone Group has been a full-service growth resource for us. From
developing and implementing an effective growth plan to helping us rename
and re-brand our company to supporting our full-time sales staff with telephone
lead generation services, the quality advice and direction from Whetstone's
management team have been key to finding new opportunities in the short term
as well as establishing our future direction." - Philip Wasta, President,
Pioneer Workspace Solutions
"For a time, our marketing efforts had taken a backseat to product development
and we were experiencing sporadic downtimes in sales because of it. Whetstone
came in and facilitated a planning session with our team and developed an
ongoing, detailed sales and marketing plan that has jumpstarted our marketing
activity. Now we're well on our way to consistent, profitable growth."
- Doug Gregory, Business Development Manager, Plexus Systems
"We used a market research study to help our offices get a handle on our positioning
in our market, to understand our positioning relative to our competition and
to find out what issues are really important to our targets. With the help
of Whetstone professionals, we have been able to use the results of the study
to focus on the right kinds of practice development activity and have seen
an improvement in the effectiveness of our efforts while continuing to manage
our costs."
- John Wolf, Managing Director, RSM McGladrey, Inc. Northern Indiana Practice
"It's always challenging to target profitable, commercial prospects and generate
qualified leads. The Whetstone Group helped us successfully face that challenge.
Their lead generation service filled our pipeline with interested prospects
and the appointments resulted in numerous proposals."
- Craig Scheef, President, Northwest Dallas Bank of Texas
