New Product Introduction:Most organizations today attempt to introduce new products into production
utilizing standard production resources to accomplish the task. This approach routinely results in:◦ Priority Conflicts: Production vs Development◦ High Recycles/Rejects◦ Poor On-Time Delivery◦ High Cost◦ Frustrated Workforce◦ Unhappy Customers

Strategic Selling:With the downturn in our economy, today's businesses have seen erosion in their 'top line'
performance and have exerted pressure on their Sales organizations to make up for the shortfall.
As a result, Sales teams have resorted to quoting 'anything that moves' whether it fits the organizational strategy or not, just to 'get the order.'
This is further compounded by the fact that these quotes are going out at lower than normal margins.
Through the proven 'Strategic Selling' model, The Tomcat Group provides your Sales organization the tools and training to develop internal & external Sales Strategies that provide:◦ Inter-Departmental Teaming◦ Customer Reconciliation and Targeting◦ Selling on Value and not just on Price◦ Customer Teaming◦ Engineering Solutions◦ Getting Beyond the Buyer◦ Developing defined 'Action Plans' for specific customers and products◦ Enhanced customer loyalty
