Research / Analysis

Is your company struggling to find information you need, manage that information internally, or figure out how to make it actionable? I can help you.

I have spent my career working in the world of small, privately held B2B manufacturing companies that make esoteric products with few published sources for sales, pricing, or adoption. Calculating market share and gaining insight on competitors & customers can be challenging for these companies, but it’s a challenge I enjoy. Contact me today to discuss your needs!

There’s several ways I can help you:

• Competitive research and market research, including developing programs that enable clients to sustain their knowledge over time.
• Business plan development, particularly revenue models that are hard to quantify.
• Pricing development.
• Implementing open source software as creative, low-cost solutions for intelligence & product development needs.
• Usage of “Web 2.0″, social networking, blogging, etc. in competitive intelligence and business in general.
• Social networking and research training. I’ve conducted workshops for the American Marketing Association and The Publishing Institute.

“I have recently had the pleasure in utilizing and working with Steve while he provided technical consultation services to our company. Steve is certainly someone who takes the time and patience to train and help people in learning and understanding both the technical and practical tools necessary to apply technology. He is prompt, pays attention to detail, and recommends new ideas that are very beneficial to our company. I highly recommend Steve and will continue to use his services in the future.” June 26, 2007 Top qualities: Great Results, Expert, High Integrity.  Dan Gundrum, Gundrum & Associates
