How it’s delivered
We deliver the transformation programme based on four core principles; comprehensively evaluate all dependencies, only do what is needed, achieve benefits quickly, and progress in a planned and agile manner. Delivered through 5 stages:
1. Market Insight & Planning
- Research identifies the sectors with the best fit for your products and solutions, for the quickest return on investment.
- A competitor review happens to help identify compelling positioning, pricing, and other commercial needs.
- Driven by this insight, we develop the right approach to enter and expand within the market. Based on our deep experience of Go-to-Market activity across the team.
- We identify the critical success factors used to define, measure and report on success.
- The practical proposition, pricing, sales, account management, marketing and partnership plans are developed.
2. Market Readiness
- We review your products and solutions from both a market and regulatory compliance lens. Identifying gaps for resolution.
- We review your sales and marketing materials and campaigns to ensure adaptations happen to boost their effectiveness for the region.
- We will work with you to ensure you have the right team, internally or externally, partners or collaborators, to ensure success.
3. Go-to-Market Implementation
- We begin to open up sales opportunities, adapting to find the best route to close deals.
- Account expansion happens, and partnerships are formed.
- Marketing begins, publishing relevant content to see where the traction is—actively engaging social media for comment, insight and discussion—defining and creating a local brand that will bring in-bound leads. Iterating activities to ensure go-to-market activities are a success.
- Using feedback to adapt product definitions/alterations to best meet customer needs. The ongoing growth of the territory and its various partnerships and accounts happens.
4. Measuring & Managing Success
- Reporting against the critical success factors established in step 1, all stakeholders remain regularly informed with clear insights from CRM and other systems.
- We track relevant data from you and your marketplace to give feedback on and learn how to expedite your growth.
5. UK Head-Office Business-As-Usual Handover
