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...

Microscopy/Spectroscopy Meetings

Microscopy and Imaging are often hidden within the meetings of other, more general sciences. In addition, there has been a resounding collision between Microscopy and Spectroscopy.  Below is an alphabetical listing of the 2010 Meetings of Interest to both arenas, segmented by two key sectors: Biological/BioMedical/Clinical  and the Materials Science/Nanotechnology.
