2 Swords Limited Market research and lead generation for start up companies or companies launching new products/services.
2 Swords have developed a new support service for new product launches that grows awareness in your market, identifies your best routes to market and builds sales prospect bank and pipeline for your new proposition.
We will analyse your market place to gather information, build a database of prospects with decision maker’s names and arrange qualified sales appointments.
Your market is telling you what it is prepared to pay for your new service which in turn means as a business you can evaluate the true value to the business and allocate the appropriate resources for full launch.
This service will mean that your decision to proceed with a new proposition will now be based on sales performance rather than by research statistics alone. And also, the revenue from the earliest stages of a product launch can be vital in ensuring the survival of a fledgling company or project.
