In 2006 BusinessWeek featured the gains achieved by one of Germane’s client companies. Altera Corporation hired Germane Consulting to coach leaders through a major culture change. Death of a Pushy Salesman”(The Corporation, July 3, 2006) tells how Altera’s sales force achieved true customer intimacy and an initial 11% increase in sales. George Papa, Senior Vice-President World Wide Sales states,

“Germane Consulting has and continues to play a critical role in creating a sales culture of customer intimacy. Dr. Perschel helped us lead change by identifying and overcoming sources of resistance. She then defined and developed the critical leadership competencies we needed including emotional intelligence, collaboration, inclusiveness and empowerment. Our customers now see us as key to their success, and we have an empowered sales force that delivers what customers want and need.”
