Rowan launches business innovation award
Sales and marketing specialist the Rowan Group has launched its search for the best business innovation in the Midlands in 2007.
In order to grow the business the company needed to diversify into new sectors but could not justify taking on additional permanent sales and diversification resource at this point in its expansion.
Rowan was brought in to provide expert help and hands-on practical support as part of a Birmingham Business Link Diversification project.
Rowan helped Reynolds Technology to focus extra resource in the areas needed and provided the right personnel to work with Reynolds' existing staff and generate high-quality market intelligence, sales and marketing support that resulted in the generation of a significant number of sales leads.
"It was a real breath of fresh air working with Rowan," said Reynolds Technology Managing Director Keith Noronha.
"They helped us to look at our markets in different ways and backed everything up with really helpful market intelligence, not just a few meaningless statistics.
"Rowan was with us every step of the way in the diversification process and the team's focus on generating commercial returns instead of writing reports has ensured that we are now involved in discussions with a number of potential clients in new industries".
Rowan began with in-depth intelligence gathering into the sector to find specific industries and markets that might benefit from Reynolds products.
The team then targeted customers in those markets, focusing on the marketing methods which would best reach each group.
In addition to this, Rowan evaluated and refined the sales processes and systems, and also assisted Reynolds with the development of new marketing materials.
"This is an excellent example of what we can do for customers who are already successful but need to diversify into new markets," said Chris Rattigan, Rowan Managing Director.
"This is one of the things we do best - looking creatively at the potential of a company and helping it to grow its business".
