When one of India’s top IT services companies struggled with stalled deal closures despite a healthy pipeline, the Sales Head summarized the frustration in one line:
“We have enough RFPs, demos, and client conversations but deals drag for months, pricing gets squeezed, and competitors walk away with the win. We don’t need more activity, we need sharper execution.”
That’s where Dishah Consultants stepped in. With senior consultants experienced in IT solution selling, custom-built frameworks, and capability programs designed for complex B2B environments, we delivered measurable change across the sales cycle.
