Sageable Services

Whether you are ‘selling’ your technology vison to customers, partners, your manager, your CEO, or your Board, a trusted advisor from Sageable will partner with you to build and present the critical insight and understanding necessary to ensure your vision lands with stakeholders and delivers business results – from ad hoc research-based advice for your next Strategy Planning or Board Meeting, to building and running ongoing programs like your Customer Advisory Board or Executive Brief Center.

Most big analyst firms are irretrievably conflicted, only covering the vendors that pay them, ‘tweaking’ reports to help their biggest customers, playing multiple clients off against each other. By contrast, Sageable covers a range of markets independently, regardless of client subscribers. We will happily take your call, even without a subscriber contract! Don’t throw money away on the ‘analyst tax’ – or at least make sure to ‘trust but verify’ your existing analysts. Get an independent second opinion from Sageable – a truly independent analyst who works for you!

Sageable can provide a uniquely engaging, authoritative, and entertaining technology leader to engage customers and prospects at your next event – from an intimate prospect dinner or ‘birds of a feather’ roundtable, to a formal Account Based Marketing event or Lead Generation webinar. Sageable has engaging hosts with unique research, compelling insights, and deep expertise communicating with (and selling to!) customers, from individual contributors to senior executives, to help you to engage, educate, and excite your customers, partners, and prospects.
