TESTIMONIALS
“You understood our customer issues and were able to provide a framework by which our
team could understand the implications for providing outstanding customer service.”
—Catherine Celestin, PharmaD, Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Group
“Partnering with Robert Spector Consulting for our Executive Leadership Summit was a
fantastic experience. Each year, we host our healthcare industry customer executives for 2
days of thought leadership content. Responding to the changes coming in the Affordable
Care Act, many of our customers are seeing an increased focus on patient satisfaction and
consumer choice in their markets, so our initial request was for simply a keynote outlining some of the essential elements. But in a display of superior service, the RSC team ran
with the idea and created an extraordinary experience for our customers -- designing custom breakouts that truly took the content to a more meaningful level. Working with them
throughout the prep process was a pleasure -- and you can absolutely tell they practice
what they preach when it comes to customer service.”
--Brenna Strickland, Strategic Marketing Program Manager at McKesson
