The Skills Connection (TSC) has touched every analyst interaction we’ve had. From assessments to business update briefings, TSC has been both part of the team and an valuable outside voice with a different perspective to ensure that we are being honest with ourselves and our target analysts.
Wholeheartedly! Every organization, from 10-person start-ups to large enterprises, can benefit from a relationship with TSC. They are client-focused, proactive and diligent in helping organizations initiate and/or improve their AR strategy.

The Skills Connection (TSC) has been an integral part of our business from the beginning. Initially, TSC was able to help us achieve inclusion in a Gartner Cool Vendor report in 2014, and the relationship grew from there. TSC was instrumental in helping us craft and communicate a unique, differentiated story about our core product which ultimately led to a Leader position in the inaugural Magic Quadrant (MQ) in our space in 2017 (a position that the company has continued to hold in every subsequent MQ).
Outside of assisting the team with any assessments that we are included in, TSC has instrumented a culture of AR best practices at our company. The entire team, from the CEO on down, understands the value and benefits of a targeted, engaged AR program.
We owe a lot of our success to TSC and our TSC consultant.

We invested in The Skills Connection to support our efforts to set realistic goals for our first Magin Quadrant (MQ). The expectations were set with our executives, and we achieved our goals with great momentum for the subsequent MQ. We engaged The Skills Connection to help us strategize and deliver our content effectively to the analysts in a way that would resonate with them. They also reviewed and provided feedback for all our content including questionnaire responses.
Yes. The real-world experience of The Skills Connection team provides a level of credibility and insight that can’t be matched by any other consultant or expert. Setting realistic internal expectations is half the battle when participating in MQs, and there isn’t a more credible source to educate participants about the facts regarding process, methodology, and scoring for MQs. Not only did our Skills Connection consultant help us build and deliver content effectively, but he also made himself available to join calls that were convenient for our team, but not convenient for him with respect to his time zone. We were very impressed with the level of expertise, professionalism, and availability that was delivered by our Skills Connection consultant.

We use TSC to review our AR programs, and also our value proposition reviews.
I strongly recommend TSC for software vendors, especially in an emerging category because they can make a big impact.
