“Repositioning a technology company in the fast-moving analytics space is an inherently difficult challenge. Before we worked with Fidelum Partners, our go-to-market strategy was based primarily on gut feel rather than analysis. We knew that to achieve our growth plans and execute on the repositioning of our technology, we needed to define precisely the markets we should serve and how we should serve them. Fidelum Partners’ research, analysis, and deep insight provided a solid foundation for creating our new vision and confirmed the direction we should take.”

-Peter Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, iJento

OfficeMax

“There are many things that can go wrong in retaining customers, but the problem should never result from confusion or misunderstanding about what they value. You should never have to say, ‘I didn’t think that was important to customers because I never asked them.’ Fidelum Partners asked our customers what was important to them. And they got our sales reps’ perspectives on why we won or lost business – information we had never considered before. Their analysis and research has provided us with a solid basis for making informed decisions about how we can better go about acquiring and retaining customers in the future.”

-Karl Rockenhaus, Vice President, Contact Centers & Sales Support, OfficeMax

Chris and his team were great to work with; real pros who kept the project on track strategically, and completely delivering on what was promised.”

“Our research with Fidelum Partners proved with sound analytics what many of us had assumed to be the truth but had a difficult time proving with hard numbers. To really do what is in the best interest of your consumers, customers and community and to care about more than simply the bottom line turns out to not only help bottom line results but makes everyone better off in the process and is essential to driving growth and long term business success.”

“Our work with Fidelum Partners has enabled us to achieve a paradigm shift in our core activities. The old paradigm was about fundraising. Now it’s about relationship management, of which fundraising is just one of the outcomes. It used to be, “Let’s send a letter” and now it’s ‘Let’s make a connection and make it strategically with a particular segment.’”

– David Harper, Vice President, University Advancement, University of Dayton

“As a top-tier Catholic research university we pay close attention to how the values of our transformational community are demonstrated to prospective families. When I read about the warmth and competence framework, I became convinced that those insights would be valuable to our efforts. These Fidelum Partners concepts are new to higher education, but their application is proving successful here, and I believe we have even more to gain from it.”

– Jason Reinoehl, Executive Director, Enrollment Strategies & Operations, University of Dayton
