“No matter the number of challenges you’ve faced, the roles you’ve had to play or work you’ve had to take on above and beyond what you were hired to do, you not only persevered, you excelled. I didn’t feel worthy to be in the room with such accomplished professionals.”
“Salentis worked to tight deadlines to provide multiple high quality reviews of our proposal throughout development. Salentis also provided excellent subject matter expertise related to operating in the Middle East, which provided instrumental in Camber being able to submit a high quality, accurate, and relevant proposal.”
“The word ‘brilliant’ doesn’t come close to describing what you have produced. I would need to grab a dictionary to find additional synonyms!”
“An amazing effort and a strong indicator of success through highly professional, smart, advanced, hard-working, team oriented “can do” support. I know we have a lot planned in 2016 and Salentis is an integral element to our success plans.”
“What I appreciate most about Salentis is that you are damn hard workers and true team players…available at all hours…impressive! The quality of the product and ability to hit the ground running – get to the root of the problem(s), validate discriminators, and add value. You guys also bring business acumen to the bid…that is, you have context of the bigger business in mind, rather than just the bid writing.”
