matt smith_speak2 Matt Smith, Cofounder of Speak2 explains:

"So many firms have cookie-cutter approaches and they lose the ability to personalize and align with your specific business. Orange was the opposite - they took the time to understand our business, the unique challenges, how our team was built - it's like they got inside our heads and created the perfect program for us. On top of that, we felt they were part of the team and not a vendor, which is how we approach our business. We couldn’t recommend them strongly enough."
