Q. Why would I need your services?
A. Clients generally use our services because they want to accomplish one or
more of the following:
- Create an effective, workable strategic plan
- Grow a business/find a strategic partner
- Gain in-depth information about a market segment or technology
- Launch a new product or technology
- Improve an image or enhance visibility
- Maximize the effectiveness of the marketing budget
- Create or expand a dealer network
- Acquire a new technology, product, or company
- Sell a business or technology to an acquiring company
- Fill a key management position
Q. I don't have a large budget. Is there a minimum fee you require?
A. No. We will try to establish a financial arrangement that is comfortable
for you.
Q. Why can't you just tell me up front what you charge?
A. Because we don't know what your needs are until we talk with you. Our work
is customized to each client, so you only pay for services you use. Once
we learn what you want to accomplish and determine that we can help you,
we will provide a detailed proposal, with costs, for your consideration.
Everything is spelled out before we begin work and there are never any surprises.
Most clients find that our services pay for themselves in increased sales
revenues and profitability.
Q. I already know which companies are making acquisitions. Why would
I need your help to sell my company?
A. Even if an acquiring company
has already approached you, it can be extremely useful to have assistance
during the negotiations. We act as an intermediary to assure negotiations
are timely, help keep personalities out of the equation, and help
you get the best possible terms.
We often already know what kinds of products or technologies specific companies
are looking for (and know some buyers that are flying below the radar). We
may also be able to partner you with other companies to make the acquisition
more appealing.
Q: How do I know you will do what you say you will?
A: The dental
industry is small. If you ask around you will find people who have
worked with us or are familiar with our work. We can also provide
references if you wish. When we begin working with you we will provide
you with a written monthly client report that details what we have
done for you that month and identifies any open issues.
Q. Why should I bring in outsiders when I have employees?
A. An objective observer can often see things that people on the inside don't
see. Outsiders are free from preconceptions, office politics, and vested
interests. As dental industry consultants, we also bring a broader view and
can provide information that would be difficult or impossible for you to
obtain. We know how other companies do things and we have experience with
many different kinds of challenges. Using our services allows you to add
high-level expertise at a fraction of the cost of permanent employees with
comparable backgrounds.
Q. But I'm PAYING these people!
A. Yes, but are you paying a vice president to write press releases (which
often get buried by more pressing issues) or missing out on opportunities
for free publicity? Are you relying on an assistant to make marketing decisions
that could make or break your new product launch? Are you losing business
because the people who work for you are in a "that's the way we've always
done it" mode? We can help you make your expenditures go farther and
be more effective.
Q. How do I know you can help me?
A. We make our best effort not to undertake assignments unless we feel confident
we can be successful. If we can't help you, we will make every attempt to
refer you to someone who can.
Q. How can I find out more without feeling obligated?
A. Simply give us a call at 610-388-2560 and tell us about your situation.
Once we understand your needs and goals, we would be happy to put together
a no-obligation proposal and send it to you with additional background information
on our company.
