Quotes of former Tussell users that made the switch

"Tender research is excellent. Looking at the documents and being able to question that using the LLM-style interface that's good."

John

Senior Director

"Stotles' AI intent data reads strategy documents for buying signals. Tussell only aggregates."

Sarah

Head of Public Sector

"Tussell is data only. Stotles adds the sales workflow, the bid module, and intent data. No competitor covers the full workflow."

Tim

Sales Manager

"Stotles has replaced Tussell, Cognism, and our bid tools in one platform."

Colin

Public Sector Commercial Director

"The problem with Tussell was it did give you contacts, but they just weren't really relevant. It would just not be the people you want to be speaking to."

Alice

Senior Account Executive

It's been really useful to identify a bunch of things that we didn't know about that are likely to come up to tender this year.
