Research

The engine that powers success

We deliver key data-driven insights and critical market knowledge to arm our clients with all they need to know

DEVELOPING UNDERSTANDING TO CREATE EFFECTIVE STRATEGIES, GO-TO-MARKET PLANS, AND EFFECTIVE ASSETS

Any initiative built on bad information is destined to fail. The healthcare market is a crowded, noisy place, filled with voices clamoring for your attention. Parsing out the true quality data from the useless chatter is a major concern—and doing it effectively can be the difference between organizational success and business failure.

Because of this, research is at the core of all of SGP’s work. We begin every initiative with a discovery phase, designed to gather key voice of business, voice of customer, and voice of market information. We also undertake secondary literature reviews to gather key market data to help elevate your business and guide your strategy.

By understanding how all of the components of your business interact and influence each other, we create a strong foundation for your product, service, or capability to stand out and reach the right audience in the right way.

Research by itself is interesting, research with a purpose is powerful. The SGP market research solutions are designed to inform an organization’s go-to-market strategy with the overarching objectives to accelerate commercial success. The combination of qualitative, quantitative and secondary research informs:

 

PRODUCT/MARKET FIT:

  • What are the distinct use cases your solution can solve?
  • How do these use cases solve market pain points?
  • What is the value to the prospect, customer and market?

PRICING AND PACKAGING STRATEGIES:

  • Is the value of your solution easily articulated in economic terms?
  • How would the market like to consume your solution (packaging)
  • How would the market like to pay for your solution?
  • What would the market be willing to pay for your solution?

SEGMENTATION, TARGETING, POSITIONING AND MESSAGING

  • Establish the ideal client profile and a segmentation model
  • Understand the buying process
  • Develop the stakeholder map of key interest holders and influencers
