"Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it."
-- Michael Jordan
Sales Team CPR
A 15 year old, trading education company was tired of watching sales slip as competition consolidated and the economy slowed down. The inside sales team was struggling to hit their revenue targets which had repercussions throughout the organization. BLG Consulting Group's analysis identified three areas that needed work immediately: tighter metrics, better time management, improved articulation of the value proposition. Four months later, the sales team is hitting sales numbers and on track for the remainder of the year.
Guerrilla Marketing SOS
A highly acclaimed inventor and entrepreneur was getting ready to launch an innovative new mascara. Working from a small office in the East Bay, her marketing budget didn't come close to that of L'Oreal, her biggest competitor. The company had only three months to achieve sell through at mass retail before being pulled off shelves. They needed results - fast. BLG Consulting Group worked with the CEO to create clever, high impact guerrilla marketing campaigns that didn't cost millions. One month after introduction, the mascara is the #2 selling product at a major mass market retailer - an unbelievable position for a new brand.
Messaging Make-over
A five year old search engine marketing company was known in the industry as having the ‘best' search engine technology, but the company was having difficulty turning accolades into sales. BLG Consulting Group worked with management to create compelling messaging around their value proposition and then rolled that out to both marketing and sales. One year later, the company caught the eye of a premier media agency and is now able to offer its clients a full service solution with technology as a key component.
Creating Actionable Business Plans
A large publicly traded human resource solutions company, was experiencing the pinch from increased competition in the marketplace, resulting in clients asking for more service at the same price. Regional managers wrote lengthy business plans at the beginning of each fiscal year, which sat unopened once the year started. Management wanted to turn their business plans into action plans. BLG Consulting Group worked with the Regional Managers to turn the 50-100 page business plans into 1-2 page action plans that were referred to on a daily basis. Regional Managers now had a way to prioritize their daily activities which enabled them to hit financial targets and provide the excellent service to their clients.
