Enter New Markets
Entering a new market can be daunting, expensive, and slow – but it doesn’t have to be. The local expertise you need to launch and thrive is literally at your fingertips. Use Maven to “go local” faster than ever before and ensure your messaging is reaching the right ears. Connect with the right on-the-ground experts who can define your strategy, guide your efforts, and even lead your team!
Test, Evaluate, and Learn
Your product team has come up with something really cool, but you have no idea how to sell it (or who to sell it to). Sound familiar? Conduct a “show-and-tell” Electronic Survey or Virtual Ideation Panel to convene a group of end users and find out what matters most to them. Within days you can find the right voice and the right market.
Case Studies
Hear the Voice of the Customer (and Their Customer!)
Every year you conduct your annual VOC survey – and every year the results are the same. If everyone loves you so much then why don’t you have 100% market share? Where are the ideas for new features and new offerings? Are your customers telling you how they really feel? Use Maven to perform truly anonymous queries of the people who are buying your products AND the folks who aren’t and get the straight story on how you can improve. Even better, engage with their customers to find out what drives their business and how you can help them shine.
