"Your understanding of branding and ability to go beyond the plant engineer to reach a broad range of purchasing decision influencers, as well as your ability to communicate with our network of distributors, management, marketing, and engineering teams in California and Illinois, has helped [us] to expand in a way that was beyond my expectations. . . . Today, in less than a year, our markets are much more aware of [our] brand. The strategy you developed has quickly positioned our company, once again, as the market leader.

The PR you prepare connects with emerging opportunities As a result, we are penetrating customer prospects at higher levels than ever before—reaching deep into the supply chain—and consequently selling larger, more profitable structures.

In addition, you have presented a newsletter concept for communicating the…brand strategy to our distributor network. This has assisted the management team in communicating change and gaining support by leading the sales force into a new era. Your concept of an internal newsletter has actively presented the brand strategy to our sales team and has enabled us to convey some difficult values and behavioral expectations that include brand leadership, unity of purpose, and clearly defined goals.

Business Strategies and Beyond has performed outstanding work for [us]. In fact, I anticipate working with you again on future acquisitions."

"When we began our relationship with Business Strategies & Beyond we had virtually no U.S. market presence, no marketing plan or philosophy, and little in the way of marketing tools. From the onset of our relationship, they “rolled their sleeves up”, and jumped into our business, discussing our strengths, weaknesses, products, previous sales methods and techniques, and virtually all aspects of our business. They performed an analysis of the markets in which we were involved and also the markets in which they believed we had potential. They developed a long-term strategy and a marketing platform to improve our brand recognition, product recognition, market recognition and application recognition.

In short, we have enjoyed phenomenal growth. Their expertise has impacted our operations in addition to our marketing efforts."

"As you are aware, our company enjoys an excellent reputation in Europe where we are recognized as the Number One manufacturer of process equipment and instrumentation within our market sector. Our challenge was to establish the company brand in the North American marketplace, and we’ve seen impressive results. We value your ability to work closely with us in developing marketing strategies and public relations. Although our product line is market-specific, Business Strategies & Beyond writes our materials to appeal to the people who are most affected by the solutions our products and services can provide. We are pleased with the results in our brand awareness programs as measured by the growth of our company through increased sales and name recognition that we see at trade shows and networking events."
