Selling your idea to clients, investors and partners should be easier...

Getting the first order, finding the first money, convincing people and partners requires to align many ideas. A coach may help.

Dear Fellow Innovator,

Each time a Business Owner or an Entrepreneur call me, with a new business idea, the problem could be summarized in: too many things to handle.

I know how it feels very well. I have been in charge of the NPI - new products portfolio of the General Electric Oil & Gas business, and I learned the hard way that taking innovation to market is tough, even in the lucky case you know your Customers and you are a Technology leader packed with top class resources.

I have seen NPI programs spend 30 Millions dollars and then be closed by the results of a deeper strategic marketing analysis.

I have seen fantastic products miss the market because of the wrong brand and poorer communication, and other hit the market only to grab a miserable share due to rounder competition's business models.

It took me a while before to came up with a methodology to define the business model for a new idea.

Since then, I started to get requests for help from friends and friends of friends that were stumbling upon all the pitfalls you can imagine are on the path to market.

I have helped Startups define business models, Business owners enter new markets, Innovators find the first clients.

Until I realized that the definition of the marketing plan passes always through 4 key steps:

1. Define the business model

2. Size market and competition

3. Chose a memorable brand

4. Build the on-line content and the off-line sales funnel 

You just need to go through each step without being distracted by less important elements, in a fast-paced no frills mood.

The best way to stay focused and implement your go to market in the minimum time, is to have someone coaching you. Someone that has already aligned all the steps, and can guide you prioritizing and shaping your work.

This is what you can get now, with my coaching program:

Roadmap to Market

a guide for marketing innovation

I wanted something simple and effective, so I designed it with Entrepreneurs and Business Owners in mind:

 It’s only 8 sessions of 1-day each

 It’s one-to-one, your team is involved only if required

 It’s paperless: I use flipcharts and a whiteboard

 It’s hands-on: you will summarize it into a plan

How it works:

I will coach you and your Leadership Team ( CXO ) in 4+4 sessions, to:

 Review the Business Model

 Redesign the Leads Generation process

The first 4 sessions are built around the Business Model Canvas tool:

1. Business Model Assessment 

        ( Lean startup models )

2. Competitive and Strategic Assessment 

        (Classic Marketing models )

3. The Unique Selling Proposition

        ( Positioning framework )

4. Review of the B2B Go To Market

        ( the Sales Carousel model )

The second 4 sessions are based on the "buyer's Personas" methodology :

5. Customers Segmentation, summary of Trigging Events and summary of Influencing Factors

        ( the buyer’s journey )

6. In field interviews of non-customers 

        ( face to face / phone interviews )

7. Design of the Lead Generation Plan

        ( the B2B Sales Funnel model )

8. Set-up of quick win actions

        ( the SCOR model )

NOTE:

the second session comprises a face-to-face interview with Company's Clients

Approach:

Each 1 day step is a full day session where I act as Coach and Facilitator of the Company Leadership Team, generally made of: CEO, CMO, CTO, to which can be added, depending by the case, Director of Sales, Director of Aftermarket.

I go through the Company's strategy and Go-to-market using well tested models and frameworks in a very paced and no-frills discussion.

The discussion is on-going summarized on flipcharts that are reviewed by me before the next one-day session

Final report only.
