"Here are the results: - 17 opportunities with acquisition rate of over 100% and acquisition cost of $XXXX per opportunity - 10 health care systems have annual revenue over $1B; all attendees in our target markets - 2 of the 17 opportunities are near term. Harvard University Health (replace existing network) and Monmouth Medical Center (new wireless network) - We did in 2 days what would have taken 6 months if we could get the appts! Saving time and reducing acquisition costs by at least $5000 per opportunity - These meetings were with the decision maker (CXO) as opposed to Director level (greatly reducing the number of meetings and strategic selling vs. product selling) - 7 health care systems would like to bring their executive team to the Center of Connected Medicine We will follow up on all the opportunities and engage the local sales team as well as enter the opportunities in Sales Force. In summary this is the most effective and efficient method Jeff and I have experienced to create health care opportunities." Senior Director, Healthcare Business Development Alcatel-Lucent |

"I thought the CIO Insurance Summit was the best industry event that I have ever been to. It was focused and the CDM team kept things moving. There were decision makers there and they were open to discussions about what the vendor can do for them. We got real sales opportunities from the summit. We were looking to take a step up and get the Castlebay name in front of more CIOs in the industry. Not only were we successful in this brand recognition but we actually generated sales leads as well. We closed one deal on site and came out of the summit with 10 leads." Donald MacFarland CastleBay Consulting |
 |
"The sessions were timely and of excellent quality. The opportunity to talk with CIOs and others about case studies of projects that they have experiences was very valuable.

"VMware began working with ITO America in October of 2008 and have enjoyed a excellent working relationship well into 2009. Every aspect of the ITO America program is managed seamlessly. I was very pleased with the quality of the thought leadership content the ITO editorial and design team have produced for VMware. I was even more impressed with the leads the content was able to generate.
