"A trusted resource for TPG"
Candela Partners is a trusted resource for TPG, and we have used them multiple times across our portfolio. To a person, their team are highly experienced sales and marketing practitioners, with real world experience at delivering revenue enhancement engagements that have impact. You won’t get the junior team. As such, they are adept at immediately zeroing in on the most tangible paths to value, and then developing a fact-based, practical approach to unlocking that value. Solutions presented are tested and proven, not theoretical. All team members are polished professionals that are also not afraid to get their hands dirty. They can lead an Exec team meeting one day and be riding in the field with reps on the next. This allows them to craft solutions in collaboration with management that are not only strategically sound but are also endorsed and embraced by the rank and file.”

"They delivered in spades!"
We engaged a Candela team in 2019 to conduct a comprehensive revenue assessment and they delivered in spades! Their ability to make sense out of our internal data, combined with market data and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with our reps and dealers, brought new clarity to what we needed to do and how to capitalize on various market opportunities. Since the initial engagement, we have contracted with them three additional times on a variety of projects and we have been delighted every time! I can recommend Candela without hesitation – they are smart, scrappy, creative and a pleasure to work with.

"Instrumental to the successful launch of our strategy"
Hiring Cory and his team at Candela has been instrumental to the successful launch of the strategy for our business unit at Elementis. In a short period of time they uncovered opportunities to transform the business and created a very tangible path to implementation that we have successfully executed over the past three years. We have now realized nearly all of the benefits Candela identified at the beginning of the transformation, resulting in significant increases in cash flow and profitability. The Candela team acted as a fully integrated part of our organization and as such built credibility from front-line to board level, bringing very tangible results early on – which I think is down to their ability to very quickly understand key issues and propose real solutions. Moreover, Cory and team are a great pleasure to work with; I would highly recommend their services.

"They're a joy to work with"
Amy and her team partnered with our sales leaders and worked across our entire organization to dive deep into our sales processes, identify key pain points, and generate broad support for recommended changes to our sales system and approach. The results were significantly improved processes, reduced sales costs, higher sales productivity, and a bought-in organization that supported these changes. Although I was impressed by their skills in many areas – sales analytics, talent evaluation and role design, strategic sales prioritization – I was most impressed by how they worked cross-functionally to build full organizational support for some tough, but needed changes. The secret to their success is the way they bring great personalities and a supportive approach to their work in addition to their technical capabilities. They're a joy to work with, and I'd gladly work with Candela on any such project in the future.

"An incredible addition to this team"
You were an incredible addition to this team, and I dread to think what we would have done without you. You made it easy to let go of the sales work that needed to be done. Your ability to gather/internalize/analyze/act upon information was incredible. Thanks so much for the time you spent with us.

"An incredible addition to this team"
You were an incredible addition to this team, and I dread to think what we would have done without you. You made it easy to let go of the sales work that needed to be done. Your ability to gather/internalize/analyze/act upon information was incredible. Thanks so much for the time you spent with us.

"A trusted resource for TPG"
Candela Partners is a trusted resource for TPG, and we have used them multiple times across our portfolio. To a person, their team are highly experienced sales and marketing practitioners, with real world experience at delivering revenue enhancement engagements that have impact. You won’t get the junior team. As such, they are adept at immediately zeroing in on the most tangible paths to value, and then developing a fact-based, practical approach to unlocking that value. Solutions presented are tested and proven, not theoretical. All team members are polished professionals that are also not afraid to get their hands dirty. They can lead an Exec team meeting one day and be riding in the field with reps on the next. This allows them to craft solutions in collaboration with management that are not only strategically sound but are also endorsed and embraced by the rank and file.”

"They delivered in spades!"
We engaged a Candela team in 2019 to conduct a comprehensive revenue assessment and they delivered in spades! Their ability to make sense out of our internal data, combined with market data and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with our reps and dealers, brought new clarity to what we needed to do and how to capitalize on various market opportunities. Since the initial engagement, we have contracted with them three additional times on a variety of projects and we have been delighted every time! I can recommend Candela without hesitation – they are smart, scrappy, creative and a pleasure to work with.

"Instrumental to the successful launch of our strategy"
Hiring Cory and his team at Candela has been instrumental to the successful launch of the strategy for our business unit at Elementis. In a short period of time they uncovered opportunities to transform the business and created a very tangible path to implementation that we have successfully executed over the past three years. We have now realized nearly all of the benefits Candela identified at the beginning of the transformation, resulting in significant increases in cash flow and profitability. The Candela team acted as a fully integrated part of our organization and as such built credibility from front-line to board level, bringing very tangible results early on – which I think is down to their ability to very quickly understand key issues and propose real solutions. Moreover, Cory and team are a great pleasure to work with; I would highly recommend their services.

"They're a joy to work with"
Amy and her team partnered with our sales leaders and worked across our entire organization to dive deep into our sales processes, identify key pain points, and generate broad support for recommended changes to our sales system and approach. The results were significantly improved processes, reduced sales costs, higher sales productivity, and a bought-in organization that supported these changes. Although I was impressed by their skills in many areas – sales analytics, talent evaluation and role design, strategic sales prioritization – I was most impressed by how they worked cross-functionally to build full organizational support for some tough, but needed changes. The secret to their success is the way they bring great personalities and a supportive approach to their work in addition to their technical capabilities. They're a joy to work with, and I'd gladly work with Candela on any such project in the future.
