The Challenge

The Client had the need to identify upcoming contracting opportunities within various regions to facilitate early interaction with their potential clients. The earlier a prospect is identified, the more likely a successful outcome for the Client.

The Client typically received this type of data through their customer relationships, however, this was not a complete view of the global market and often missed key projects outside their usual client base or regions.

In addition to this, the Client needed a way to identify regional hotspots which would serve to drive their business strategy over the longer term.

Our Process

a) Understand the Client business

  • Who target prospects were and their addressable market
  • At what stage they would need to engage
  • Importance to the overall business
  • Understanding of niche company needs

b) Understand the Client challenge, questions and problems to solve

  • Easy, fast access to data and data tools
  • Limited in-house analyst resource
  • Need for data that could help support the sales team when proactively pursuing leads

c) Assess how we could help

  • Review requirements and assess existing solutions for matches
  • Clear communications with Client to continue to detail specific requirements beyond overall goal
  • Commercial boundaries
  • Provided immediate communications with our analyst team
