Marketing & Sales

What is the difference between marketing and sales?  What is your penetration of the total addressable market?  What are the right distribution channels?  How do you increase share of wallet?  Do the sales professionals have the right skills; are they rewarded for delighting customers AND making your company money?

What is your unique value proposition?  Do you provide what your customers want?  Which customer relationships are profitable?  What drives customers' purchasing decisions?  What is the only question worth asking in a customer survey?  Is your customer feedback process driving erroneous conclusions?

All products and services have a competitive half life.  The initial absence of competition may leave businesses vulnerable to blind spots and complacency. 

Let us help you palpate the pulse of your business.
