2nd Opinion was created to give business leaders an agnostic unbiased point of view when reviewing their marketing, advertising and sales programs. We are not an advertising agency or media company (but we have run them), and we have no desire to replace agencies or internal marketing teams. Our solution provides leadership with a timely, comprehensive second opinion so you can give better directional advice to your teams, increasing revenue and profit while reducing waste.
Almost immediately! 2nd Opinion provides implementable action items with rationale and supporting data needed in six weeks.
A Complex but easy to understand Three Step Process
We initiate an adversarial, external market review without any built in biases or expectations.
This process will often include;
• TAM, SAM and SOM
• TAM (Total Addressable Market)
• SAM (Serviceable Addressable Market)
• SOM (Serviceable Obtainable Market)
• Geographical Limitations
• Competition Breakdown
• Unknowns Specific to Your Products/Services
We get into the weeds of your business, from the product/service and operational systems, to the sales, marketing and service departments.
This process will often include:
• SWOT Analysis
• Competitive product/offering Analysis
• Competitive Analysis including marketing and advertising advantages/disadvantages.
• Unbiased Targeting Criteria and Customer Profiles, up to including Good/Better/Best
• Unknowns Specific to Your Products/Services Category(s)
We combine our external/adversarial research with the internal review to provide you implementable solutions to improve your companies performance.
The implementation report may include:
• Brand or Rebrand Recommendation (Full, Partial or Limited)
• Product/Service Offering Stack, Bundle or Other Changes
• Pricing, Financing or Other Pricing Area Recommendations
• Marketing Target Changes, Budget Changes or Other Changes
• Operational Improvement or Change to Create a Superior Offering in Market
• Reputational Improvement Needs
• Brand Improvement Opportunities up to and including Partnerships, Sponsorships, Events or Endorsements
"Rusty and team provided us with incremental revenue options and uncovered a way to better package our offerings for increased profit. And unlike our media vendors, the solution did not require "Just spend more money with us."
Robert P., GM
"We never thought to adopt a more targeted approach to our advertising and marketing program, we thought we had to keep up with the "Jones's". We spend less, get better leads and changed our verbiage to differentiate ourselves from every other PI firm in three very different markets."
Jennifer S., CMO
"Our sales reps drive less than half the miles they did three months ago. Instead of trying to fit every customer into our products, we now have a much better pool of leads because of the changes 2nd O recommended. Our direct marketing now delivers over half of our leads, and our close rates are up 50%!"
James F., Oregon
