Business Development

Nurturing positive relationships, whether strategic, technological, channel, or co-marketing, can be the most effective way to expand your business opportunities. By leveraging our extensive network of industry contacts, we seek out complementary companies to create synergistic opportunities. We’ll identify and establish contacts at key targets, book meetings with key personnel, and take the relationship all the way through the final agreement phase. As an ancillary business service, Arvidson+Wagnisse provides on-going relationship management to supplement your in-house staff.

Marketing Strategies

Arvidson+Wagnisse can provide you with a comprehensive overview of specific markets including identification of top end-user accounts, key channel and technology partners and viable industry associations. We can provide an analysis of the market potential, architect distribution plans, and provide “go-to-market” planning. In addition, we can provide access to market research resources, branding and communication specialists, analysts and press contacts all specializing in the technology industry.

Business / Product Planning

Whether a developing start-up, a new business division or simply a new family of products, we can develop business plans to help you assess and implement your opportunities. All plans include a thorough industry and market analysis, strategic and tactical plans, financial and risk analysis, and exploration investor potential, if applicable.

Distribution Architecture

Which distribution profile is right for your business...direct-to-user, two-step via integrators and VARS or OEM? Most likely, it’s a complicated matrix which may include all of the above. The proper structure and intricate balance of a solid distribution profile can be one of the most critical factors of success. We can help you define the most beneficial solution.

Channel Development

From the “Go-to-Market” strategy and distribution profile, we’ll identify and analyze the best partners to go build sales through the appropriate channels. We make the contacts, arrange the meetings and follow the process through the drafting and formalizing of partner agreements. We can also provide on-going account management services where needed.

Financial Services

Through Arvidson+Wagnisse’s extensive network in the financial community, we will help guide you through the process to pair you with the right type of funding or M&A partner. We’ll also help develop the supporting materials, prepare the pitch, and create the final presentation you’ll need to close the deal.

Partner Referral Network

Being strategic means being focused. Arvidson+Wagnisse has teamed up with expert service providers in disciplines such as investment and acquisitions, and ranging from sales, marketing, or operations to organizational development specialists. We can manage their services for you, or make the introductions and provide the necessary follow-up to make sure you get the best results possible.
