10 people have recommended Philippe

"We selected Access2Sales mostly because of Philippe sales techniques :). We just felt that he would be the right match for us - that he would give us the care we deserved. Looking back, I think that we couldn't wish for a better business consultant than Philippe. Thank you!" Michal Grebac, was Philippe's client "I have known Philippe for quite a long time now but more precisely as a client. We have worked together on multiple projects based on advanced technologies in the telecommunication area. He has remarkable listening and understanding attributes which combined to his leadership and his technical knowledge have been invaluable to identify, select and implement innovative business solutions. Working with Philippe, you will notice his passion, his sense of engagement and his unwavering devotion to his client and colleagues. That exemplifies strong ethical fibre and character. He is a trustworthy individual and an outstanding team player." Jean-Pierre Bedard, was Philippe's client "I had the pleasure to work with Philippe on many ocassions and I have to admit that I respect Philip's approach. The customer is always at the center of his strategy. I wish you a lot of success with your business!" Eric Ratth, Account Executive Entreprise segment., Bell Mobility, worked with Philippe at Bell Mobility "I am happy to write this recommendation for Philippe. During my time at BlueTree, he was a very valuable resource for us at Bell. His key work in Solutions Design, Solution Selling and Implementation made the solution sales cycle not only shorter, but it allowed for products to be rolled out in a manner that greatly reduced support/on-going customer issues. As a vendor, it was often difficult to find a key resource that provided a single, one-stop method of finding all of the information that was required. Philippe was such a resource, and this definitely helped increase our sales! As I recall, Philippe played an important part in several large sales, resulting in sales for BlueTree in the range of a few million dollars. Many of these sales cycles would have become much longer (reducing margin) if it were not for his passionate work. In short, Philippe was a valuable member of a key team that we worked with at Bell, and his influence made a significant

difference in all aspects of some technologically complex sales. He would be a valuable resource in many projects and endeavours, so as I mentioned, I am happy to have the opportunity to write this recommendation for him.
