I'm translating a website that is selling the services of a consulting company VERY heavily. The sections before have been talking about how great they are at what they do, and how succesful they've been with past projects. And then they say the following, and I just can't find a natural way of saying it.
"Wir werden uns auch für Sie erfolgreich einsetzen."
I'd like to say something like "and we can do the same for you too" but it doesn't fit with the preceding sentence, so I do need to keep to the idea of them being able to help the customer. We can help you be successful too, maybe?

I suggest staying with your idea of helping the customer. Something like "we'll do our best to help you succeed, too." (though "erfolgreich" is actually describing their help rather than the customer's success, I think!)

: if you are trying to use involve as a reflexive verb it needs to be "involve ourselves" - but then it doesn't make sense unless you say what we are involving ourselves in

show commitment
"We'll show as much commitment for you" or similar. Dedication, effort could do as well.

Let us work for your success
It would be useful to know what the preceding sentence is, since you mention it.

..too!
You can add the word \"too\" of course, to be closer to the German.
\"Let us work for your success too!\"

We'll work hard for you too.
"Erfolgreich" is an adverb modifying "einsetzen" in this case. Literally it would be something like "We'll work successfully for you too," but that's not really going to pass muster.
Something went wrong...
