Fifth Element helped us navigate a complex set of circumstances by conducting a multi-stage research program involving both qualitative and quantitative research techniques. Their professionalism, objectivity, and integrity brought credibility to their work and helped us reach informed decisions.

Fifth Element has helped our sales program grow considerably over the years by becoming a trusted adviser. Joe has taken time to understand our business model, our market strategy, and our customers. He has learned our sales people’s style, strengths, and weaknesses and coaches and advises based on our needs, not on canned theoretical content. My team has improved on so many fronts, but especially on qualifying and negotiating. Our gross margin strength reflects that. My team regularly vocalizes, “what would Joe do?” or “remember Joe’s story about that…” This is a testament to how much his value resonates with our people.

Before Fifth Element Associates, we had an idea of where we wanted to go, but had no way to get there. We needed leadership. Fifth Element Associates provided Navicate with a brand strategy, helped us simplify our key messages to better engage our audiences, and ultimately showed us how to be our own brand ambassadors.

The benefits of collaborating with Claudia Eisinger at Fifth Element Associates on qualitative research aimed to enhance the care experience for our clients and staff included: grasping our goals and objectives and translating them into a research plan that allowed us to gain the information we needed; providing a framework, structure, and the guidance for us to recruit participants; and explaining the results clearly. The research findings acted as a springboard for reworking our strategies and activities, resulting in higher satisfaction scores with clients, staff, and a more effective, impactful, and profitable program.
