Your Bottom Line

We’ve all seen the pictures.  The countdown, the ignition, the majestic rise on pillars of flame.  From dead stop to 5 miles a second in five minutes. 

Now that's acceleration!

Our mission at Market Engineering is to

Accelerate corporate performance!

Our job is to help you put your business on a rocket ride to market leadership.

Sadly, There is a pain cycle in business today, built on the bad results of outdated ways of doing business. 

On managing instead of leading. 

On tactics instead of strategy. 

On product development  instead of customer satisfaction.

On brochures and websites instead of powerful brands.

On ads and tradeshows instead of strategic launches and integrated promotion.

On selling to close deals instead of connecting to build durable win-win relationships.

 

That pain has names.  We all know them and fear them.  They rob us of our just rewards.

Ineffectiveness:  Doing the wrong things, or for the wrong reasons, or at the wrong time, or etc.  Making wrong decisions that lead to wrong actions company wide.  Low ROI, no matter how hard people work.  No shared vision, disjointed efforts.  (Just 10% ineffectiveness can kill a company.)

Inefficiency:  Doing things wrong.  Rework, do-overs, always catching up, never enough time to do it right.  Confused staff and management.  Questioning of directions, methods.  Delays, delays, delays.  (Just 10% inefficiency can kill a company.)

Lost opportunities:  Lost market leadership, lost sales, weak negotiating positions, lost ability to invest in the future, lost positive momentum, lost exit strategies.  Less upsell and cross-sell.  Fewer referrals, lower customer loyalty. Everything harder than it should be. Frustrations, headaches, ulcers.

Higher costs:  Of doing business (product development, manufacturing, distribution, marketing, sales, etc.)  Of getting capital.  Longer time to payout on investments.  Lower ROI and NPV.  Lower dividends and share value. 

Weaker image:  Disadvantage.  Lack of credibility.  Image as tactical and floundering, not a market leader.  Weak brands.  No or misunderstood value propositions.  No connection of product or company name to the value delivered.  Ineffective market relationships.  Weak corporate and product brand equity.  Weak personal reputation and credibility.

Lack of confidence:  Within staff, management, industry analysts, and especially customers, distributors, allies, and shareholders.  Indecision, hesitation.  Blaming, cover ups, self protection.  Inability to turn things around.

Sadly, the old ways hang on.  Too many of us are unwilling to change.  After all, change carries risk.  Yet the greatest risk of all is failure to lead.

Change is not a choice.  Every business creates change.  Every professional discipline delivers change.

Our only choice is what changes to make, and how.

Timing is not a choice.  The pace of change is accelerating.

Our only choice is to accelerate productivity in every aspect of business.

Leadership is not a choice.  We need practical, actionable visions of who we want to become, where we want to go, and how we intend to get there.

We either lead or fall behind.

Clarity is not a choice.  What we believe influences how we act. 

The Tactical Approach:  Without strategy, tactical performance may be worthless, no matter how well done.

Weak credibility!  Floundering and inefficiency!

Image Mismanagement:  Fewer than 2% of American companies own consciously crafted corporate and product brands.

Power given away!  Others in control!

Reliance on Features:  Customers buy value, not features. 

Wasted opportunities!  Lost revenues!

The Self Center:  Putting ourselves first raises barriers to relationships with customers and investors.

Turned off customers!  No positive word of mouth!

“The old way still works.”:  Change overwhelms those not adapting.

Cascading failures of business systems!

The “Do it later” Style:  Wait, and you’ve already lost your edge.

Too little, too late…  Too bad!

Power is not a choice.  Power to innovate, brand, and compete.  Power  to change the world with products and services that return profits and market loyalty.  Power built on leadership, guided by strategy, and backed by principles and processes that embody change and adaptability.

We either choose to evolve, or we’ve chosen to fail.
