Big Nerd Ranch, a national application developer, was in a negative cash flow position after losing a big customer.

Challenge

They needed to retain specialized talent, but the fixed cost couldn’t be supported without additional financial discipline.

ICON Commercial sought assistance to redefine their value proposition to retain and expand a valuable national account relationship.

Challenge

They didn’t have a contract and the existing relationship changed and decided to send out an RFP to ICON and 3 other larger, national players.

Result

Having led teams with both user and service providers, we were able to reorganize, incentivize and train the teams for proper alignment and execution.

Testimonial

Using a very creative approach the competition couldn’t match due to their overhead structure, we generated a solution that demonstrated a stronger understanding of the customer’s culture and needs. They retained and expanded the subject account. Using the same approach with Midcourse Advisors’ assistance, they won a new national account in the next 60 days. Total value = $3 million.

Situation

Air Methods, a medical transportation company, wanted to make its locations a competitive advantage as time to get to patients is mission critical.

Challenge

Their sites were not fully proximate to their customers and over 60% of their leases were in month-to-month status. This created flexibility, but also risk.

Result

Using a very creative approach the competition couldn’t match due to their overhead structure, we generated a solution that demonstrated a stronger understanding of the customer’s culture and needs. They retained and expanded the subject account. Using the same approach with Midcourse Advisors’ assistance, they won a new national account in the next 60 days. Total value = $3 million.
