When a company approaches BrightWolves with these exiting questions, our consulting heart skips a beat and we get immediately thrilled for the next challenge. How do you assess a B2C service company’s readiness to penetrate the entirely different B2B-market?
A long time ago, Economics 101 taught us a general theory called “The Law of Supply & Demand”. This simple and (maybe by this reason) effective law was used as the backbone structure for our last project. This left us with 2 vital perspectives, yet each with numerous unanswered questions.
SUPPLY:
Which services can be offered in the B2B-setting?
How will these services add value to the B2B-customers?
Can we offer these services with a sufficient volume?
Is serving the B2B-market feasible with the current IT & Operational structure?
…
DEMAND:
Who specifically in the B2B-market is waiting for our services?
What are their requirements before entering a partnership?
Which services are requested?
How many sales can we expect?
….
Time to provide clear answers by thorough and exhaustive data-analyses combined with expert insights.
Perhaps conclude the project as the consulting saying goes: “Strategize & put it on a slide”? Maybe even finish off with a fancy dinner after the presentation?
We at BrightWolves strive to have more impact than that. Guiding & managing the adequate implementation of our proposed strategic vision constructed a rock-solid base for the novel B2B-department. In just 4 months’ time, this resulted in:
REALIZATIONS:
An iteratively sharpened MVP-offer of 9 key services for the B2B-market
Organisational transformation & alignment across 4 departments
3 successfully launched long-term strategic partnerships with top-level B2B-players
Maybe we did have that dinner, maybe not…. But one thing is certain, we did have impact!
