“The research team at Metropolitan Life, one of the big long-term insurance companies in South Africa, has used the services of The Corporate Research Consultancy for qualitative research since 1993. The fact that, after all these years, we are still using their services is a clear indication of how much we value the quality of their work.However, quality work is not the only reason why we use their services. We are impressed with their ability to get a good grasp on even the most complex research project. The result is that they have always been successful in finding optimal solutions to our research problems. And they have done that in the most cost-efficient way. Furthermore, they are committed to strict deadlines and have an excellent record of meeting them. And, lastly, we benefit from the fact that they always stay abreast of new techniques worldwide.”

I worked closely with Corette and Masithethe from 2000 through to 2004 when I moved from BP Africa to BP in the UK . Corette's ability to quickly grasp a marketing problem and translate it into the appropriate research methodology was key to providing BP with actionable insights that many times facilitated decision-making within the organisation. A professional, experienced and insightful researcher, I highly recommend Corette and Masithethe.

"With the redesign of Sanlam's new website it was important for us to test the usability of the new site with our different target audiences beforehand. Although this was the very first time that Qualonline performed such research, Corette went out of her way to collaborate with other usability practitioners internationally to find the most effective method and tool for the job.  Although the tool, which was specially imported from the USA worked well, it was ultimately Corette's professionalism and extensive experience in the research field that ensured very insightful and useful results.  What's more is that we were able to start working with the results there and then. The usability testing definitely assisted Sanlam in ensuring the website objectives were achieved."

“Corette is a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable, a creative problem solver who goes above and beyond, and very easy to work with. In conducting research for us in South Africa, she arranged every detail for a complex project that went off without a hitch. She won over the end client with her can-do attitude and her ability to make things happen. Her work was "spot on" and the final report was comprehensive and well written. I would highly recommend Corette."

"I would really like to compliment you and your team on the fantastic qualitative research work done on our Namaqua brand last year and especially earlier this year.  Your strategic insights have assisted not only in getting us to understand the nature of the wine market consumer in an honest straightforward manner but also in helping the management team at Namaqua Wines SA change the dialogue and become more embracing of our future shopper. Words equate to facts however, the collages of the moods and frames of mind of our shoppers/consumers really went the distance to place every one of decision-making importance on the same page so that a robust strategy could be developed to nurture the future growth of our brand. The future for us is exciting, thank you for the delivery.  I look forward to future research projects with CRC."
