PMG's B2B market research approach entailed reaching out to and connecting with the competitor's highest level executives to gain a deeper understanding of the company's R&D strategy than could be derived from publicly available sources. PMG's analysts, well experienced in contacting senior level managers and engaging them in conversation, were utilized to develop a thorough understanding of the client's major competitor. The competitive intelligence gained from the conversations with key executives proved to be valuable insight into the competitor's value position in the market.

Through custom market research, PMG assessed the current hermetic compressor market in juxtaposition with the company's net position on each product and service attribute. The PMG study proposed two alternative strategies to leverage the company's perceived strengths in the marketplace: to compete on reliability or efficiency. As a direct result of PMG's recommendations, the company aggressively pursued the position of a strong second supplier and, in turn, has strengthened its market positioning in the industry.

Through a tailored B2B market research project, PMG evaluated the market potential for BBT's glass bottling technology. A database of large glass bottling facilities was created with information pertaining to key decision makers at each plant, plant location, and estimated volume. With the created database and the new insight into the purchasing decision process, the study resulted in over $2 million in new business within 12 months of the project.

PMG's market assessment included specific recommendations on how to compete more effectively against competitors and an approach to realize future growth opportunities. By developing a more detailed and relevant market segmentation for evaluation, selected market segments were evaluated in-depth for short-term and long-term potential. As a result, the market research provided the client solid business insights that have helped the company navigate around potential business disruptions and make better informed decisions about its approach to future business growth.
