Exploring New Markets: Private Workshop for Center for Advanced Manufacturing Puget Sound (CAMPS)

Wednesday October 23, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 1:00 pm PDT

  • « Pricing For Profit: a Scientific Approach: Seattle Startup Week
  • Could your company’s expertise and experience open up new markets beyond your existing customer base?
  • Is your company selling into a declining industry? Do you need to shift to access new customers?
  • Are there emerging or untapped markets (industries or geographies) that you should be investigating?
  • How do global trends (and tariff turmoil) affect your future strategies? If you manufacture outside the US already, would it make sense to explore serving markets close to production?

Using examples from his market research and pricing career, as well as from running an Industrial Computing business at Intel, and drawing on issues raised by attendees, Mike Pritchard (President of 5 Circles Research / Pricing Gurus) will share:

  • How C level executives can identify possible markets for further consideration, including looking for opportunities disguised as problems and other macro issues.
  • How to evaluate potential markets using primary and secondary research
  • Where qualitative and quantitative tools are appropriate
  • How to split effort between staff and vendors

Every conversation with Mike gave me new insight and useful marketing ideas. 5 Circles’s report was invaluable in deciding on the viability of our new product idea.
Greg HowePresidentCD ROM Library, Inc.
First, I thought it was near impossible to obtain good market information without a large scale, complex market study. Working with 5 Circle Research changed that. We were able to put together a comprehensive survey that provided essential information the company was looking for. It started with general questions gradually evolving to specifics in a fast pace, fun to take questionnaire. Introducing “a new way of doing things” like Revollex’ induction heating-susceptor technology can be challenging. The results provided critical data to help understand the market demand. High quality work, regard for schedule, thorough understanding of the issues are just a few aspects of an overall exceptional experience.

I hired Mike to develop, execute and report on a market research project involving a potential business opportunity. I was impressed with his ability to learn the industry and subsequently develop a framework for the market research project. He was able to execute the research and collect data efficiently and effectively. Throughout the project, he kept me abreast of the progress to allow for any adjustments as needed. The quality and quantitative output of the results exceeded my expectations and provided me with more confidence in the direction of the business opportunity.

5 Circles Research has been a terrific research partner for our company. Mike combines a wealth of experience in research methodology and analytics with a truly strategic perspective – it’s a unique combination that has helped our company uncover important insights to drive business decisions.
Daniel WiserBrand ManagerAttune Foods Inc.
What we were doing was offering not just a new product, but a new market niche. We needed to understand traditional markets well to characterize the new one. Most valuable was 5 Circles ability to gather research data and synthesize it.
Will NeuhauserPresident Chorus Systems Inc.
Mike did multiple focus groups for me when I was at Amazon, and I was extremely pleased with the results. Not only is Mike an excellent facilitator, he also really understood the business problem and the customer experience challenges, and that got us to excellent and very actionable results.
Werner KoepfSenior ManagerAmazon.com
I have come to know both Mike and Stefan as creative, thoughtful, and very diligent research consultants. They were always willing to go further to make sure respondents remained engaged and any research results were applicable and of immediate use to us here at Bellevue CE. They were partners and thought leaders on the project. I am happy to recommend them to any public sector client.

Great workshop! You know this field cold, and it’s refreshing to see someone focused on research for entrepreneurs.
Maria RossOwnerRed Slice
When you work with a market research company you normally have to define the questions. 5 Circles Marketing’s staff have technical backgrounds, so it’s a lot easier to work with them.
Lorie WigleProduct Line Manager, Business Communications DivisionIntel Corporation
Mike brings a tremendous balance of theoretical marketing research with a strong practical knowledge of marketing. He can tailor the research to the right level for your project. I have hired Mike multiple times and he has delivered each time. I would hire him again.
