"I recently had the pleasure of working with the Maestro Group team. For a bit of context, LS&S has been around for 42 years, and we have two diverse and complicated sales (Public Private Partnerships and SaaS). Maestro brought in a number of very senior professionals, all of whom took an active stake in the success of the program. I was very impressed with the quality of Maestro's team, their backgrounds, and their ability to quickly understand our work and our sales, from politicians to librarians. We came away from the engagement with new perspectives on some things we'd taken for granted, and action items that will help us serve more libraries. If you're looking for an outside-in look at your sales process, I'd highly recommend the Maestro team."
