“Adette did a thorough job. Our clients felt comfortable talking to her. They openly shared their thoughts and opinions, and she was an honest broker in translating their perceptions. She helped us by giving us milestones to work towards.”

“Adette brought passion and doggedness, energy and enthusiasm and flexibility to the project. She was quick to change tack and pursue another strategy when our first approach was not working. She understood our market and was prepared to do what was needed. She kept us involved with the whole process.”

“Adette gave us fresh ideas. She gave us an expert’s point of view. Her experience with larger firms gave us insights into business development expectations there. She also brought us practical tools that we now apply every day to real clients. This was the gem for us. Her training took our professionals out of their comfort zone, but gave those without highly tuned sales skills the confidence to go out and develop their client relationships and respond to new business opportunities. Her ability to interact with people meant that she was, in effect, a mentor to many of our professionals.”

“Adette’s versatility and attitude was refreshing. In our experience, many researchers stick to the brief, no matter what. Adette was flexible. She would complete part of the research and return to us to let us know what she had found, and then determine what to do next. She constantly rejigged the methodology to get a more solid approach and that was very useful to us. Adette understands issues, and she is upfront about whether she can help or not.”
