Consulting Services
Client engagements begin with a discussion to determine the most critical strategic business objectives of the client. Like attorney’s our initial one hour consultation is complimentary to new clients. This discussion invariably leads to a defined scope of work for an initial Valcour Strategic consulting project.
The Initial Project is typically focused on addressing data gaps that impact executive decision making on the most critical strategic business objectives identified in the initial discussion. Initial projects have a defined scope of work with a clear timetable for completion with specified deliverables. Examples of initial project scopes of work include:
- Market, Product, and Application Research into product specific market opportunities.
- Identification of potential market channels and channel partners for accelerated commercialization.
- Strategic Business Planning and identification of key initiatives necessary for Strategic Business Growth.
- Competitive product market research for new product market positioning.
- Identification and introduction to potential Strategic Partners for market VOC (Voice of Customer) feedback.
Ongoing client engagements support the clients most critical business needs for accelerating their sales growth. The amount of the retainer charged for an ongoing engagement depends on the amount of time required to accomplish the specified business objectives. At this stage bi-lateral confidentiality agreements are in place as is a contract for client specified services. Ongoing client engagements typically have a shared-success incentive program in place that supports the mutually agreed to business objectives. Examples of potential Business Objectives for ongoing client engagements includes:
- Market and Channel Representation – To promote the product or service to potential Distributors, System Integrators, Process Designers, and End Users.
- Strategic Partner identification and business relationship development.
- Marketing Plan Development and Implementation – To promote the product or service to potential Distributors, System Integrators, Process Designers, and End Users.
- New Product Research and Development – Fed by Customer feedback.
These examples are representative of the types of client engagements conducted by Valcour Strategic Group. Please contact us for more information or to discuss how we can help you enable your extraordinary business opportunities.
