Sales Strategy
The Situation
A long-range weather forecasting and consulting company needed information to build its sales strategy to effectively market its services and grow the business. Competing against some heavy hitters, the company needed data to enhance its value proposition and position itself as the expert in the field. The company also needed help identifying high-end customers whose bottom line can be impacted by weather related issues, as well as the types of specialized and niche services being offered to private industry companies.
Wanda and Patty provided terrific information! They saved me so much time! I tend to keep a close eye on the market and they were able to provide information to me that I had not yet encountered. There are also some resources for market research that I was not familiar with. It has been very helpful. I am now able to create an actual sales strategy based on the deliverables that I got.
