What Tools Do I Use?

I use a systematized, solution-oriented business process that designs, tests, and modifies alternative ideas, packages, products, or services in a disciplined way using experimental design, to discover what appeals to the customer, even if the customer can’t articulate the need, much less the solution.

Rules Developing Experimentation (RDE) was developed by Dr. Howard R. Moskowitz and Dr. Alex Gofman , and was formalized in their book Selling Blue Elephants: How to Make Great Products That People Want Before They Even Know They Want Them (Wharton School Publishing, 2007).

A Few Examples of What I Have Done

Service Line Branding

Manheim, the world’s leading provider of automotive remarketing services, operates a marketplace for the millions of vehicles that change hands every year at auction. In order to capitalize on a reconditioning services market projected to be worth $800 million annually, it needed to brand its service line specifically aimed at dealers, consignors and fleet clients.

Results:

• Within 10 weeks, Manheim’s generically named “recon services” was branded “Frontline Services”

• Within 3 months of launch, the top 5 performing auction locations saw a lift in sales between 60% and 809%.

• Collectively, all 26 participating locations saw a 15% lift in sales within that timeframe.

A Few Examples of What I Have Done

Identify New Reseller Channels

Results:

• Within a 3 month timeframe, I was able to interview and profile all current resellers, identify three new value-added reseller channels, and identify the opportunity for over $240 million in new incremental revenue for the company.

ChoicePoint was an Alpharetta, Georgia-based company that sold information in three markets--insurance, business and government, and marketing. Prior to the company being acquired in 2008 by Reed Elsevier (parent corporation of LexisNexis), the company wanted to re-evaluate its reseller channel and identify possible new channels to drive incremental revenue.

A Few Examples of What I Have Done

Reposition Global IT Department as Value-Add Business Organization

Results:Within 3 months of the IHG Global Franchisees meeting:

• All global IT executives were interviewed to better understand their views on how their organizations added value

• A communications manifesto was developed that outlined the technology innovation that was being championed by the Global IT Department

• A suite of communications tools were developed and debuted at the Global Franchisees meeting highlighting these advancements and their revenue generation potential.

IHG’s Global IT department wanted to reposition itself with internal stakeholders, and current and future franchisees, from purely a provider of computer IT support to a value-add business partner that provides technology innovation that helps drive bottom-line business growth.
