Some organisations just seem to have the Midas touch.
Customers love what they offer, and their employees love winning business and serving customers.
This doesn’t happen by accident. It takes focus, commitment and above all, mojo.
Robyn works with leaders of service organisations to grow and retain business that is won through formal submissions, competitive bids and tenders. Her clients have won and retained business worth hundreds of millions of dollars with many of Australia’s largest corporate and government buyers.
