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...

Get to your target market FAST and effectively with a T/MIP FlightPlanTM

Your most important business goal: rapid market penetration and increased revenue.  Imagine that a veteran pilot approaches you and hands you a packet with just the right tools to achieve that goal. A detailed map to your destination, a resource guide to adapt to changing conditions along the way, and a step-by-step agenda ... all geared to help you plot your course into a new or existing market, taking into account the market environment, available marketing media, and key needs to support your company and product.

With over 25 years experience successfully launching new products and technologies, T/MIP and its predecessor, MME, have formalized this sort of planning into a proprietary turnkey marketing approach: the FlightPlanTM

Historically, FlightPlans have produced dramatic results for our clients:
  • Shorter time to market
  • Striking increase in visibility and credibility
  • Impressive improvement in Lead quality
  • Reduced marketing costs and tension 
  • And hundreds of millions of $$$ in increased revenue at greater profitability

FlightPlan's Three Key Resources

A year-long program of suggested activities, the FlightPlanTM integrates your website, editorial and ad campaign, tradeshow planning, sales support, press campaign, tutorials and presentations, and any other special activities. Rather than a default "ad and show program," it leverages every activity. For example, the FlightPlanTM structure reminds your marketing department that content for a pre-show mailer can morph into web content and then into the core for a sales support memo, an application note, and an application article.

Presented as a  Year-at-a-Glance map and a week-by-week Implementation Calendar, FlightPlanningTM simplifies both budgeting and project planning. In addition, A T/MIP FlightPlan provides a strong framework for Demand Generation programs and other automated CRM, sales, and marketing tools.

FlightPlansTM bring all members of staff up to speed so that everyone knows where the company is headed and when to plan for activities. For example, it helps your marketing communications assistant to meet deadlines for show planning and reminds application and sales staff to capture that all-important-image in April which will make a pre-show mailer "pop" in October.

agenda_jpg.jpgJust as flying requires dynamic change as conditions change, so does your market plan.  Every T/MIP FlightPlanTM comes with a Resource Guide that summarizes not only a variety of ad parameters, web and print opportunities, dates and pricing, but also special distribution events and bonus activities . . . all in one, readily-accessible spreadsheet.  It gives you the power to adjust your market plan quickly and instantly, adapting to changing conditions while still giving your company a sturdy foundation for progress. Add, drop, or change promotional activities, literally, on the fly.  All the information will be at your fingertips.
