Need to build sales? Our Sales 2.0 specialists can help you to become a high growth company by identifying the right folks and keeping in front of them, unearthing your clients' footprints, and organizing, managing and tracking your sales data. Got a Rainmaker on your sales team?  Our staff can analyze what is best about your current program then show you how to build on it.  No sales team yet? We can fill that gap, too

Building a new business? We've helped dozens of companies smooth the road to market. What do you need?  Help preparing for due diligence? Business structuring?  A helping hand establishing service, support, and compliance?  Or an independent, unbiased view on post-acquisition processes and procedures to meld diverse groups and maximize your investment?

Where's your REAL market? Is it really the whole $2.3B microscopy arena... or one of the sub-sectors like light, confocal, AFM, electron microscopy, sample preparation, digital imaging, or the new "hybrid" market?  And what are the real size and shape of that market?  How are products distributed? How long is the sale cycle? Who makes the buying decisions? Could other competitors blind-side you.. or worse yet, other technologies?

The MIP can tell you exactly where your technology will play best...

Bending the curve toward faster sales & business development

The $2.3B microscopy & imaging market is different than any other analytical arena.  Heterogeneous, difficult to characterize, and poorly reported, it presents a challenge to even the most experienced marketeer or business developer.  Add the new collision with Spectroscopy and it's an unchartered frontier.

Since 1991, this unique industry has looked to Microscopy/Marketing & Education, Inc. (MME) as its primary source of market research and new product launches. For each one, we've bent the curve toward faster sales and business development.

Over the past five years, our clients have also benefitted from more diverse services: in-depth strategic direction, business structuring, and engineering insight.  In a bold expansion move, MME has formalized strategic relationships with several of its key consulting partners in those diverse areas to form The Microscopy & Imaging Place, Inc. (“The MIP”).   Building on MME’s core competencies of market research, branding, and launching, the MIP now offers:
   > New-market development:  “The SWAT Team” - Integrated & aligned sales and marketing 
   > Technology commercialization:  “From R&D to Manufacturability” - Avoid the “hiccup” between
      development and commercialization
   > Service & customer support activities: Processes to improve & get up to speed rapidly
   > Compliance and regulation: New "sanity" programs
   > Improved sales:  Demand Generation, CRM construction, and Social Media
   > Overseas companies new to the US: Soft landings in the US
   > Funding & due diligence: Business strategy and primary market research
   > M&A: Processes to integrate and streamline the new business structure

Results are our most important produc  
Whether you need concrete confirmation that your product is saleable, a go-to-market program that is going to win, a manufacturing process that is well-defined, controlled, and documented, or a corporate structure that makes the best use of your finances and people, the MIP delivers.  Historically, we've cut 6 months to a year off time-to-market, saved clients tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in commercialization and go-to-market costs, and generated hundreds of millions in revenue.
