For Existing Companies
Many companies in our recent economic environment have needed to "reset" the course of their business. This has meant leaving some markets and gearing up to enter new one. There may have been a resturcturing of both the sales and marketing teams and many executives find themselves with no sales and marketing leaders in place.

Our three phase approach outlined below is based on years of experience of bringing new products and services into different market segments.
Phase 1 consists of performing "real-time" market research and analysis of your target market. We find out what is happening in the market today, what type of solutions are selling and what types are not. Who is buying these solutions and why. From this knowledge we develop Product Positioning Options and Test Market these options with "Early Adopters" before going to market.
In Phase 2 we focus on developing a Lead Generation Program by calling into our network of "warm" contacts in our Salesforce.com database. Our goal is to identify "Qualified Prospects" that will lead to customer wins that are strategic to your organization.
As we enter into Phase 3, we develop a Repeatable Sales Model and development of a forecasting methodology based on your unique business model. You are now in the position to hire a salespeople that fit your Repeatable Sales Model. The Suntaug Group will work with your organization to staff your sales and marketing organizations with the best professionals available.
