Examples of Past Business Scenarios
Business Startups & New Ventures Bringing New Products to Market Structuring and Packaging New Solutions Finding Solutions to Problems & Research Identifying Fraudulent Situations & Individuals Obtaining Critical Marketing Intelligence Business Startups & New Ventures We assisted a Hollywood nightclub that showed the promise of a new niche and branding capability in the local club business. The club did not own their own venue. But selected to contract for several trial evenings at specific venue. Upon meeting the venue owner, we determined this individual was a determent, a potential competitor and a danger to the new concern because he was not accountable to anyone or anything. We drafted contract language and key deal points to prohibit unfair competition and future predatory activities. We also guided this client on intellectual property issues, domain protection, LLC formation, and recommended certain strategic activities to prepare for the competition's response. Bringing New Products to Market We took a prototype for the medical industry and brought it to the market positioning it as an industry standard in 14 months. It's now in demand with requests across the U.S. and Europe. After doing this for an inventor we decided that after we set up a new product and built an industry for another human being that this service of ours is no longer available to anyone outside our own circle of partners. We now bring our own products to the market. We provide on the spot communications counsel to industry leaders, artists, public agencies, and organizations. We maintain a strict policy of confidentiality and anonymity. We get right to the essence of what needs to be done in the way of content, presentation, strategy and making sure the client is empowered with whatever is in their midst. Whatever is in the way we give the client very unusual feedback of high order. Structuring and Packaging New Solutions We help structure and package solutions that affect millions of people. Sometimes this means getting on the phone and introducing ourselves to agencies with delicate and critical roles such as the U.S. Defense Department. We introduced a waste elimination technology on behalf of a colleague and did due diligence on the receptivity of the Defense Department to adopting the solution. We did research and made contacts for our colleague, identifying who within the Department's structure would provide the best point of entry. For a client in the energy field, we sent out tailor made packages introducing a new energy power plant to leaders across the world, reaching leaders who had many layers of bureaucracy between them and the public, allowing our client to receive an audience with the biggest decision makers in the world. Finding Solutions to Problems & Research During one of our development phases in helping a client manufacture a new product, we discovered that the manufacturer was struggling to obtain a critical component to bring the product to market, potentially stalling production for 90 days. Meanwhile, our client was spending $20,000 of cash flow a month. We asked the client to leave it in our hands and let us deal directly with the manufacturer regarding the matter. We got the manufacturer to agree to allow us to find the component ourselves and establish our own independence with regard to its deliverability and sustainability. The manufacturer again told us it would not be available for 90 days or found within the United States. We found the component in one week, secured an 8 month supply up front, acquired it in the U.S. and found an incredible distributor as a bonus who wanted the client's business and was delighted to fulfill the order. Identifying Fraudulent Situations and Individuals We were introduced to an inventor who signed an agreement with an invention marketing agency. After many months of inaction, no call backs and no accountability to this inventor, we quickly found a file on this agency a mile long. They were defrauding this inventor and robbing him of his time, money and energy. They hijacked and critically stalled the manifestation of his invention for 15 months. We not only busted the agency, we helped shut them down. Obtaining Critical Marketing Intelligence There was a saleswoman in Los Angeles who was verifying key contacts for a national user advertising campaign. She could not enlist anyone she spoke with to verify the information. Call after call she got resistance and no cooperation. We had one three minute talk with her and made one adjustment in her thinking. For the rest of the campaign, verifying key players was smooth sailing. We assisted the CEO of a company with a promising merger offer. We reviewed the offer and were able to quickly identify disastrous and imperceptible levels of incompatibility inherent in the other company's management style. We helped the CEO walk away from the deal and assisted her in locating private money to grow the company and develop a new strategy for acquiring new business without a merger. We successfully convinced the owner of another company to reject a franchise deal with the subsidiary of a multinational communications company who had the owner scared into thinking she had to join them to survive in the industry. We counseled her, preventing the loss of naming rights and long-standing good faith customers, avoiding taking on a new name, giving the multinational a percentage of hard earned business with low profit margins. One year later, this subsidiary, who told the Rainmaking Company's client she better accept the deal or be run out of business, closed up shop themselves. |
