We started to use Harper Craven around 2 years ago and after our initial discussions we came up with a set of objectives and a plan to bring a new angle to our sales strategy. I have to say that we set an aggressive target for the industry of 23% growth, (industry standard was 14% growth) and we actually achieved nearly 30% growth for the year! We have now established a yearly event with Harper Craven, individual plans throughout the year and are very happy with the level of expertise they bring.
