Testimonials

What our clients say.

Leaders in technology, banking, investment and professional services on working with The Proposition. Some of these were given when the business traded as Tollejo.

IBM
My sales and client relationship teams were underperforming. Dan and the team helped us with this. Dan held the mirror up to us, with simple techniques and the client first. Has it worked? You bet. Win rates are up. Well-prepared teams are happier and more confident, and certainly more buyable for our clients.
Christine WyattGeneral Manager, GBS, IBM
BBVA
Members of the team have been instrumental in helping us figure out how we position ourselves in the innovation space. Unlike the usual consultancy, their strategies have maintained a fine balance between being creative, business focused and with measurable, data-driven impacts. They have also carried this impressive performance over into their work with our portfolio companies, helping them focus on their market proposition and ultimately driving growth.
Chris SempleGlobal Lead, Innovation, Digital and Data, BBVA
Cognizant
They nail it each time. They've helped us build service offerings, sales enablement and marketing strategies that work, and they understand the challenge of landing messaging in large, matrixed organisations. We love working with them.
Irene SandlerVP Global Marketing, Cognizant
Virgin Money
They were able to take a complex product, turn it into a simple story with a great commercial plan, and implement it.
Iain GibbonsCustomer Director, Virgin Money
GFT
They framed our narrative around what we'd be famous for and showed us how we should focus sales efforts, marketing budgets, partnerships and our client offerings. It's been critical and has forced us to be direct with customers about what we do.
Carlton HopperManaging Director, GFT
Hatch
They really did smash it. We had struggled for years to describe what we do. Dan's team got to know us really well and created a whole new concept for describing and selling what we do. It was fantastic.
Matt SimsManaging Director, Hatch

Differentiation in banking is hard and they really helped us crack that. Once we had our story, we drove some amazing results.
