It was great working with The Skills Connection on our analyst strategy and moving up our ranking in the Gartner Magic Quadrant (MQ).

The Skills Connection Customer Satisfaction Rating

A CMO at a medium enterprise computer services company would be very likely to recommend The Skills Connection for this reason:

Because they over delivered. We initially hired them to consult with us. What we did not know at the time was how much more we would end up getting once we started working with them. They’ve pushed us to understand what we do, why we do it, how we do it, and most importantly answer the question ‘so what?’ (from our customers’ perspective). To have that clear allowed us to not only present ourselves to the analysts with a strong vision, but equally to the rest of the market as well. Now, not only do we know why we are better, best or unique in what we do, we know how to communicate it strategically.

5/5 Stars

How our organization uses The Skills Connection:

We used The Skills Connections as our consulting partner during our Gartner MQ and CC assessment. They worked with us before we received the Gartner’s welcome package until the final report was published. It was an eight month period of co-working, where we received far more from them than we ever expected to.

Would you recommend The Skills Connection?

Yes, strongly. Because they work as if they are a part of the team. At some point during our time together, they had more energy to fight for things in our favor than we had ourselves. And that is priceless.

They gave us the map. Based on their former research experience we were able to get into the analysts’ internal mindset. So not only were we able to provide relevant content during the assessment, but we also understood how to use it for our benefit when interacting with the rest of the market. We now have strong marketing positioning because of the work we did with The Skills Connection.
