What do you like best about Anova Consulting Group?

My service team is very responsive and I have a good working relationship with them. We had collaborative conversations on the changes we made to the interview guide and these have made for a better client interview. The myView dashboard is helpful for an up to date snapshot of interviews. The year-end report readout was a good, comprehensive run-through and was robust without being too long Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anova Consulting Group?

I do not have anything to offer for improvement at this time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anova Consulting Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do client satisfaction interviews and reporting with Anova. We use the information to gather feedback from our most valuable client relationships. This feedback allows us to see where we can improve on an engagement and aggregate level. We have been partnered with Anova for ~5 years, so the collected data also functions very well as a tracking study that we can use to identify trends and changes in quantitative and qualitative research gathered Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Anova Consulting Group?

Anova has a thorough methodology and approach to win-loss analysis and they worked with me in every step of the way from inviting the clients, working on the discussion guide and providing the actionable insights to deliver to our C-Suite executives during our QBRs. The team was knowledgeable, great to work with and were very patient with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anova Consulting Group?

There's wasn't much of any downsides because the outcomes really depend on getting prospects to participate in the research without an honorarium or have them see the value in helping us improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Anova Consulting Group:

I think it's important to get executive buy-in from your key stakeholders from the very beginning in order to have a successful win-loss program. Without it, the analysis will not get any visibility or traction for change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anova Consulting Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

The company I was working with at the time needed a better understanding of why we were winning and losing deals. Most prospects/customers don't typically provide us an honest answer so it was important to partner with a third-party company to capture this insight for us.

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anova Consulting Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

The business is always eager to learn more about what the marketplace, clients and prospects, are saying and thinking to ensure we are avoid complacency, staying ahead of competitors, and most importantly, ensuring we are providing a best-in-class experience end-to-end. To do this, we established a Global Corporate Listening Program that provides 360 insights to the business and helps them to make data-driven strategic decisions. While this can be done in-house, the huge benefit of working with Anova is they help us scale and obtain unbiased / unseen insights that we would not be able to gather ourselves - the latter being the key benefit.

Reviewing the external advisors/plan sponsors feedback on why they choose John Hancock or not is so crucial for enhancing processes,trainings, and getting buy in from internal partners on needs. ANOVA team conducting these surveys has really helped the internal teams to understand how to better the processes and understand better what our audience is looking for. Not to mention from the competitive perspective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Anova Consulting Group?

Their ability to do Win / Loss interviews is a real strength. They have good experience, are skilled in interviewing, and drawing out analysis from those interviews. My client service team is professional and easy to work with.

Anova produces reports that summarize the insights from our interviews very effectively. They highlight some things that I did not recall seeing in the trends and insights. The reporting is of high quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anova Consulting Group?

There is a quantitative section of the interview that benchmarks us against the top competitor within each opportunity. I have found that section really helpful, but this year it has been getting filled more rarely than it has in years past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Anova Consulting Group:

Anova is a rock solid option when looking for a 3rd party consultant to execute an enterprise Win/Loss Program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Working with Anova provides us an external 3rd party which can conduct Win / Loss interviews and generate the respective reporting from those interviews.

Anova solicits and conducts interviews with customers in a very professional way, allowing our prospective customers to clearly describe the decision process they went through and the key attributes that led to their decision.

I have no significant complaints to offer. Anova automated and self-service reporting and insights capabilities could be better, but they have been improving rapidly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Anova Consulting Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

Understanding our prospective customers' perceptions of our strengths and weaknesses helps our individual sales teams understand how the buy decision was made and evaluate strategies on what they can do next time to ensure success in similar pursuits.

We worked with Anova to develop a pilot program to introduce our frontline sales team to the benefits of conducting win/loss interviews. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Anova Consulting Group?

Results and documentation as well as the close attention of the Anova team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anova Consulting Group?

The team often changed and when they did, they didn't know our business. Thankfully, we had a an excellent team lead who was with us from start to finish (during my tenure at least) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Anova Consulting Group:

Work closely with the Anova team to tailor interview questions that will be actionable for win/loss analysis. As well, be sure to provide them with the appropriate number of prospects to engage with. For example, if you provide them with 20 candidates, assume only 5 candidates will respond - so you need to keep providing them with more closed opportunities for win/loss outreach.
