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...

Building a new business?


Where are you  now?...
Building blockStart-up? Early Venture? Industry giant hot on the acquisition trail?  Well-established veteran but expanding to a new market or trying to re-capture a pre-existing market?

As we mentioned on our HOME page, the microscopy, spectroscopy, and and imaging markets are heterogeneous and high risk, making them challenging and expensive to penetrate. With over 25 years experience in the industry, we've seen companies come and companies go. We've seen dozens of companies invest hundreds of thousands of dollars or more and not gain traction. They've literally thrown money down the drain. Some were overseas companies, new to the US market. Others, were start-ups. Still others, experienced companies expanding into microscopy and imaging.  

What made the difference between success and failure? Experience in and understanding of the market and its drivers, sound go-to-market strategy, and good planning and implementation. While most high tech companies have a firm grasp on the physics and engineering of their technology, they face a critical gap when it comes strategy, operations, and sales: marketing alignment. The MIP can fill that gap.

... and where do you want to be a YEAR from now?
Building a businessOur unique matrix of technical and operations know-how combined with marketing ingenuity and business development expertise offers matchless support to our clients at all stages of business evolution. We can help you get to where you want to be:

Our market research clients have had solid information which reduced risk and either got them to market faster or helped them decide NOT to go to market, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars. 

Our 
new product launch and new business clients typically jumped to #1 or #2 in their market sector within 12-18 months of implementing our strategies and processes, at dramatically reduced risk, greater visibility and credibility, and at lower cost than if they tried to go it alone.

Our
n
ew technology commercialization clients found that they made the jump from prototype to real product more rapidly at less cost and without the normal, long trail of problems to clean up. 

And our
 
"new business" clients discovered that they were operating from a strong, well-rounded and lower risk foundation and were in business much earlier than expected.
