What our clients say
Remeny has been working with us since April 2018, and in a short amount of time has transformed our sales and marketing. During the first financial year alone our revenue grew by over 40%.
But perhaps the biggest impact has been with the client care calls, where Remeny arranges a friendly call with our clients. She is able to talk with them independently from their account management teams, and really find out how happy we are making them, or how we can improve.
There has been a lot of great feedback and we have been able to improve our service considerably as a result.

Thank you so much Ghilaine! I wanted to tell you that it made me feel really good to have the session with you. I needed the burst of energy and you re-inshuffling (doesn't seem to be an English word) confidence in me.
It felt like a luxury, my equivalent of a spa day if I was that kind of woman who likes spas.
Thank you again for having shared your magic, and hopefully soon again.
