Q: Don’t consulting companies already do these types of projects or assignments?
A: Usually they don’t. Normal consulting companies rarely take on assignments like this, perhaps because they don’t have the capabilities for that or because such projects may not be lucrative enough for them. We are genuinely interested in the work what we do, money is not the driver for us.

[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″]

Q: Is the confidential information that we (or our customers) provide in safe hands?

A: Yes, it is. We take confidentiality very seriously. During the assignments we deal with company- and customer-sensitive information. We follow strict guidelines for ethical behavior in research when acquiring data. Moreover, to protect the companies and respondents in any distribution or dissemination of the data that is gathered, we apply our confidentiality policy. This includes that we do not reveal who has said what. We are interested in solving problems and learning about new phenomena and in helping you to apply that knowledge.

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″]

Q: What is the fee structure and how much do you charge for your B2B Sales Consulting 2.0 service?

A: As the service is always tailored to correspond to your needs and situation, we do not have a standard fee structure or fee that we charge. Normally we calculate the fee based on the amount of time and resources that we estimate the assignment to take. Compared to normal consulting fees, however, the fees that we charge are fairly modest. This is because our service is part research, part consulting.

[/text_block][/op_liveeditor_element]

[op_liveeditor_element data-style=””][text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” font_size=”16″]

Q: Do the assignments qualify for governmental funding (e.g. from Tekes, Vinnova or similar)?

A: In some cases, yes, but this is very much case-by-case. In case the assignment is part of a larger project that focuses on for example internationalization or other development of your business or offering, you could be eligible for governmental funding in your country (e.g. Finland). We recommend you to find out more from the appropriate governmental organizations in your country.
