Consulting Services

The Problem

Generating leads for a consulting service is among the most difficult challenges in sales. Unless you already have a widespread reputation as a problem-solver, most people simply reject the idea of using a consultant that they don’t know – especially if they don’t think they have a problem in the first place. And few executives like to admit that there’s someone out there who’s smarter than they are. So for a European-based aviation industry consultant, there were two challenges they faced in trying to penetrate the US market: no one knew who they were, and their potential prospects weren’t eager to admit they needed help.

Problem Description

Working from a base in Europe, traditional techniques like advertising, direct mail and asking for referrals simply fell on deaf ears. And despite having saved their clients millions of dollars in the past, the company couldn’t gain any attention and interest with their key target market – senior executives in the Maintenance and Engineering divisions. But without new engagements, their growth plans would fail.
