What Clients Are Saying

In my experience, Sue-Ella Prodonovich is by far the best business development adviser in Australasia.
— Chair & Partner with a Global Law Firm
Kudos to you Sue-Ella. Your insights are a breath of fresh air.
— Partner, Mid-Tier Global Accounting and Consulting Firm
Your approach let us try new behaviours even though we were really busy with a barrage of client work. Your tools are awesome and our clients loved it. We are seeing results already.
— Managing Director (APAC), Global Professional Services Group.
Just a note to let you know that, against some quite formidable odds, we were successful in the audit proposal! We are delighted to have won such a large and significant assignment. We greatly appreciate your short-notice support.
— Partner, Global Tax & Audit Firm
Love your work
— CEO in regard to Marketing Positioning & Ideas
The feedback I received was that your facilitation was fabulous and added a heap of value to what was in our heads, but never actually articulated as clearly as it is now. Most importantly for me you were able to bring everyone on to the same page really effectively – I certainly found the individual insights you were able to offer very helpful.
— Managing Partner, Law Firm
Just want to say that could have been a huge project but being able to work with you so succinctly was excellent. I reckon we have knocked out something very good that has impact. So good working with you.
— Chief Marketing Officer, Law Firm
Sue-Ella, you demonstrate an exceptional understanding of the theory and applicability (of strategic client relationship management) to Professional Services Firms. Shifting from trusted advisor to trusted partner is not an easy job, however it is possible when you prioritise human connection.
— Feedback from course work with Oxford University Said Business School
Great insights thanks Sue-Ella.
This is genuine and real when so much of the other Tosh I read at the moment is entirely superficial.
— Partner, Large NZ Law
Thanks so much for today Sue-Ella. You have blown all of our expectations out of the water. I can say that comfortably because I have literally just had 10 different conversations with the attendees to ask for feedback, and all of it is so overwhelmingly positive.
— L&D Professional, Global Professional Services Firm
Thanks for the Sales Origination training yesterday. I found it super useful and had some ‘Oh Shit’ realisations. It’s given me renewed energy to focus on a few core areas.
— Senior Manager, 'Big Four' Global Accounting & Advisory (Jan 2020)
This was by far the best investment we’ve made in our business. Having Sue-Ella guide us through the (Client Engagement) program was like having a cross between Mother Theresa and Margaret Thatcher. It was just what we needed.
— Senior Partner, Banking & Finance, National Law Firm
Thank you for all your help in bringing together our very successful Client Conference. You did an amazing job working with our national team of tax Partners in a very tight time frame.
— National Tax Lead, Big Four
Sue-Ella was the right person. It was an important session. Sometimes you get consultants who are pitching for business or have been consulting for years and have lost touch with reality or what the legal landscape looks like, but you can tell that absolutely isn’t the case with Sue-Ella. Very real and relevant examples and stats.
— Senior Associate, Global Law Firm (Sydney office)
May I take this opportunity to thank you for your excellent work in the recent client surveys and accompanying presentation. In the past we have tried numerous client surveys. In my experience they have been unhelpful (at best) and counter-productive (at worst). They have caused unhappy clients to just get angry and supportive clients to get annoyed. However, this is the best client survey process I have seen. The interviewers we well informed, the questions were well structured and the clients responded honestly and engagingly. The results (good and bad) were well presented and the analysis of the report was interesting and thought provoking. Your presentation at the retreat was excellent.
— Managing Partner, Australian National Law Firm
I got great traction with many Partners who came up to me after my preso and told me that this is what they needed to hear. Others told me I was absolutely on the mark and I was continually being stopped by Partners introducing themselves in the next two days saying how good they thought my preso was ( even at the baggage carousel at Sydney airport on the way home). Many thanks for your guidance and support.
— Asia Pacific Regional Talent Leader, 'Big Four' Advisory Firm
I call them the Rock Stars of our marketing profession. The value of being in the same room with those who presented, not just to pick their brains, but for them to share the latest and greatest in what we need to do to be successful, was worth the price of the conference itself! And no conference would be the same without our friend from Australia, Sue-Ella Prodonovich. As Ross (Fishman) stated, Sue Ella has become so well known and loved among marketers that she is simply known as “Sue-Ella,” not because we can’t pronounce her last name correctly, but because she’s terrific and offers an approach that makes the necessary, everyday act of conversations attorneys have with clients seem much more effective and fruitful.
— Nancy Myrland, Myrland Marketing and US Legal Marketing Association
If you are after an engaging an innovative BD strategist for your business look no further than Sue-Ella. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Sue-Ella over the past few years at Crowe Horwath and I have always been impressed with her blend of BD / Marketing knowledge coupled with her sharp business acumen. Always with a focus on solution-based outcomes, I highly recommend Sue-Ella for any business wanting to stretch and grow.
