How do the Insight Solutions missions work?
Step 1
Free Diagnostic
You share your challenges so that we can collect and understand all your strategic questions to frame the project. We draft a proposal that we review with you.
Step 2
Kick-Off Meeting
We gather all the market and technical knowledge that you already have in your team. We also collect all the documents or data you may have about your product.
Step 3
The Mission (SpecialChem) + Partners follow-up (Your team)
We create Material Concepts: unbranded online pages showing performances, expected benefits and data of your product (or idea).
We promote these Material Concepts to our community via our digital channels. Pretty quickly, we create a really large set of digital events (clicks, shares, views...) and open feedbacks from a wide range of technical buyers. Their analysis start to generate unique insights.
We interview the most interesting profiles based on their navigation and feedback to clearly understand their markets and their needs, and why they valued your product or not. During the interviews we identify partners — reliable technical contacts within in-target companies that are willing to test your product and share feedback with you. The hungry ones, not the big, slow-moving, undecisive ones.
All along the mission, we dispatch the partners to your team as soon as they are identified. You receive a comprehensive report of the discussion that we had with them and advice on how to follow-up with them.
Step 4
Intermediate and Final Reports
Halfway through the mission, we share our first findings and progresses with your team.
At the end of the mission, you will have a full and comprehensive analysis of all our insights and our recommendations.
