"The session really crystallized my
thinking on how to present the SoftSelect approach to helping companies
manage the difficult task of transitioning their business culture and
technology to a new business system. Potential
clients seem to over simplify the task at hand but
now I have the keys to getting business leaders to recognize the full
implications of the project ahead." And the burgers at the beach house were
cooked to perfection!

"I thoroughly enjoyed the Consulting Partner workshop in
Atlanta and thought it was the best two day conference I have ever attended.
The opportunity to meet with other facilitators was also extremely valuable
for me. After further review of the Consultant Partner Marketing and Sales
Guide, I am more convinced than ever that this methodology in combination
with my experience will provide clients with tremendous value. I fully
expect to boost my chargeable hours this year as a SoftSelect facilitator."

"SoftSelect
has talked about losing 80% plus of its past consultants and focusing on a
select group. I saw the results of this first hand and now see why this
team, and it's ability to collaborate and empower clients, is in a league of
its own. A home run hitter in my opinion. The SoftSelect process facilitates
a positive way for consultants to be viewed by prospects and clients. The
persistent concerns as to whether you will deliver, or make your
recommendations actionable, or be unbiased are significantly eliminated when
using the SoftSelect process and tools. This process builds trust with the
organization and definitely facilitates an ongoing relationship. The beach house
setting was an excellent way to promote after hours networking. Many
constructive conversations were had in an open forum type atmosphere while
also enjoying the wonderful weather that Tampa, FL had to offer. I felt
like a member of the family."

"Working
in the spectacular Tampa Bay setting with Mark Engleman and a group of
SoftSelect process professionals who span the nation and touch a
diverse industry marketplace brings credibility to the business and a basis
for continued professional growth through sharing of best practices. I
couldn't be more pleased with the excellent value proposition of this
premier program."
Brad Kreidler
"I
want to thank SoftSelect for putting on the Consultant Partner Workshop in
Tampa recently. Having many top partners together helped us trade
strategies, walk through particular situations, and identify various
resources located all across the country. This interaction made me realized
that I am part of a much larger and coordinated team-where the synergies are
just fantastic! This event helped us walk through the tools and techniques
that will make us better consultants and provide better service for our
clients. I am now clear why this is the only way any company should buy a
comprehensive software solution and prepare for implementations and eventual
optimization."
Ray Wallman
"The
consultant workshop and interaction with existing SoftSelect premier partners
help me confirm that a prepared consultant facilitator with SoftSelect
tools, methods, and research is the logical answer to remedy the typically
poor results with the traditional RFP approach. It is not only the beginning
of a new leveraged relationship between enterprises, consultants, and
suppliers to make an integrated system selection faster and more accurate,
but it will also significantly increase the success of an ERP
implementation."
Daniel Giguere
"I
found the SoftSelect consultant partner event recently conducted at Tampa
extremely worthwhile. The training enabled me to get quite familiar with
enhancement in version 4 of the project planning and management application.
One of the biggest barriers to overcome in winning new IT consulting
business is to have executives truly understand the value of the process we
offer. The time we spent on marketing and sales as well as the input from
the other participants gave me many new techniques on how to market and sell
these services. The presence of a geographically diverse group of
consultants was an excellent way to find out what was hot in different parts
of the country and to connect with resources that would be able to answer
questions when I need help. It felt like being with a 'super user group.'
The beach setting was quite relaxing and enabled me to exchange ideas with
others easily and informally. The setting made it seem like a retreat
instead of a course of instruction. Thanks for all the work and thought you
put into the program; I'd recommend it to any serious enterprise
software/process improvement consultant."
