New Directions In Growth Testimonials & Client List (below)

ad agency growth

Accelerate your growth… learn from the best.

At every training session, consulting assignment and conference we ask for a review: our worldwide average is 9.1 out of 10 positive! Thousands of reviews. Frankly, we’re honored and find that amazing. But the real thanks goes out to all the great marketing firms we’ve learned from.

We’re very proud of some of the review comments:
  • “I would highly recommend working with Robert on many levels. His insight towards the new business tactics at an advertising/marketing agency are ingenious in a way that’s extremely fresh and invigorating. As the head of new business here a brief meeting with Robert left me feeling revitalized and ready to launch a wide array of new tactics. Robert is indeed a rare breed and well-worth your time. I cannot stress enough how much speaking and engaging with him have impacted and benefitted our team. “
    • “Today, it is necessary for us marketers to differentiate ourselves and be better prepared than the rest of the competition.  After attending Bob’s session, I learned that there is an extremely valuable, perhaps “secret weapon-like”, way to ensure you will be best prepared and have more success in wining new business – profiling.  It’s actually quite genius; developing a unified approach, from the very first meeting to the final pitch, based on facts, observations and characteristics that are right in front of you, who would have thought?  I can’t wait to put this new learning to good use.”
  • “Just the day after hearing Bob speak, I was on a call with a prospective client. As soon as we hung up, I turned to our President and used what I had learned to identify the prospect’s personality, and talk about how if we want to win we need to change our approach and make sure we’re catering to his boss – the real decision maker.”
    • “Bob is a brilliant student of the human condition. He facilitates the understanding of relationships, between the self and others, that are often not explored in business. It’s an invaluable tool to help release judgment and promote compassion and consciousness in the workplace.”
  • “What an interesting presentation! Bob was so animated and friendly, and made a typically static topic VERY dynamic. It was also nice to hear how this system works in every aspect of your life, not just at the office. I found myself wanting more at the end of his presentation, because he was so engaging and the content was just plain COOL :)” 
    • Bob is an amazing presenter and has truly presents the content is a way that is completely relevant and engaging to the audience.  I’ve studied personality styles and attended many different session but have never seen something so tailored for the industry and completely relevant on a daily basis.
  • “Bob is a highly experienced professional who has been instrumental in ensuring the success of our new business strategy. I was stunned to learn how much industry savvy he has and I was immediately impressed with his magnetic personality and strategic approach to the consulting process. Bob did an excellent job of motivating and educating us, and left us with wonderful knowledge and a clear step-by-step plan on how to succeed. Months after our consulting session, I’ve found it very useful that he is still so approachable and available to answer any questions and give us guidance along the way! Bob has an upbeat and positive nature, and has gained exceptionally leading-edge knowledge of the industry.”
    • The session was time extremely well spent. Many ideas and blueprints to implement now!
  • Lots of wisdom and expertise; pragmatic applications of brand experience.
    • Fantastic insight on the emergent trends in new business development. Opened my eyes to the structural changes & dynamics occurring in the industry and the coincident tactics needed to meet the challenges of the changing client/agency relationship.
  • The challenge in new business is to be productive instead of just busy. Sanders Consulting will give you simple tools to produce better results, more often!
    • If you’re looking to find a way to generate more revenue, more easily and more frequently, call Sanders Consulting to come out tomorrow!!
  • We looked around for the best new business consultant, and after looking over 5 different firms we hired Sanders Consulting. It was like drinking from a fire hose! Bob didn’t just bring a dump truck of knowledge to the day’s training… he brought an entire fleet! It’s going to take my team weeks to process all the information. Best session ever!
    • A team of us took an SCG class and then we hired Bob to teach our PR  staff about client relationship management and new business presentation  techniques. Years later, I continue to use his tips in meetings and in  preparing for presentations.
  • It has been great working with Bob on a multitude of “out of  the box” projects over the past few years. He clearly listens and  provides strong “real world” solutions to a variety of new business,  branding and reorg challenges. I highly recommend him.
    • Sanders Consulting helped launched a 24/7 sales program for our marcom company that  7 years later still remains the foundation for our business development strategy.
  • Bob is a very seasoned, personable consultant to marketing agencies and has made a huge difference to our industry as well as my  own companies. We’ve worked with Bob on a variety of things, including  organization structure and operations, new business planning and other  strategic planning issues. I strongly encourage you to hire Bob if you  need big ideas and solutions for your company. And this is coming from a   guy who doesn’t have the highest opinions of ‘consultants’.
    • Bob’s advice sent us on a journey to become a visual thinking  company. He changed the way we sell and his thinking helped us land  deals with major clients like Cisco and other giants. All my  conversations with him lead to more clairvoyance.
  • Bob has helped our firm on more than one occasion with  insightful wisdom, and has improved our new business efforts greatly as a   result. He is terrific to work with, as well.
    • I’ve collaborated with Bob on a number of projects and would  recommend him without hesitation! He’s extremely knowledgeable, quick  with solutions, creative and exceptional at what he does. Anyone  considering a marketing or branding professional simply couldn’t go wrong working with Sanders Consulting or Bob.
  • Bob’s instruction remains among our firm’s best practices. His enthusiasm and depth of knowledge of client service, retention and communication practices is among the best. He receives my highest  recommendation.
    • The business of new business is a constant challenge in an industry   where everyone does it, but few do it well. SCG can help you do it  well.
  • Robert is a master strategist and brand builder. He has the intellect to quickly scope out a situation and with clearly identify  opportunities and craft a highly strategic, actionable and measurable  plan to build sales and brand equity. Effectively bridging strategy and implementation, Robert motivated and mobilized our team, leading with a clear and compelling vision. If you ever get a chance to work with  Robert, consider yourself lucky.
    • I’ve attended Sanders Consulting seminars, I’ve heard Robert and Stuart speak at conferences, and I’ve hired them for my own firm. These guys know their stuff, they deliver powerful strategies, and they’re great fun to be with. Robert gave me some invaluable information the last time I saw him that I put into action the next day and won some  business!
