Helping You Grow Both Sales and Margins

You can increase both margins (by 1 to 3 points) and sales (by $1 million to $50 million) at the same time. Here's how.

Executives of manufacturing and B2B services companies:

Concerned that you’ll miss your sales and margin goals?

You may be experiencing too few yeses, too much pricing pressure, and too long a sales cycle. You’ve tried many sales and marketing tactics, but realize something is still missing.

Living with that situation is likely costing you millions, because the missing piece of the puzzle holds down your sales and margins. It’s likely that your company is a more valuable choice than prospects and customers give you credit for. The full value of what you provide is hidden, even from you.

We help manufacturers and B2B services firms discover the missing piece, solve the problem, and produce bigger, faster results than they could do on their own. We help our clients create $1 million or more of value within 12 to 18 months.

Once we help companies discover their hidden value, we help them message it so that they attract customers willing to pay more when they see the value, and price to get paid what their solutions are really worth.

Implementing the value story at all customer touch points is crucial, so we work with company personnel, sales effectiveness coaches, and outside marketing resources to get things done.

Imagine attracting customers willing to pay more for premium value, and getting paid what your solutions are really worth.
