Strategy Development and Implementation:

At The Tomcat Group we believe that in order to be successful, you have to have a plan. We have found many businesses today where that plan is either not developed, not fully understood or communicated.

We can assist you and your organization with the development and implementation of your Strategic Plan that is so critical to your organizations continued success.

The model we use is centered around Strategic Planning and the Balanced Scorecard and includes the following elements:- Strategy Development and Mapping- Core Value Developed, Introduced and Sustained- Strategy Based Performance Metrics

New Product Introduction:Most organizations today attempt to introduce new products into production

utilizing standard production resources to accomplish the task. This approach routinely results in:◦ Priority Conflicts: Production vs Development◦ High Recycles/Rejects◦ Poor On-Time Delivery◦ High Cost◦ Frustrated Workforce◦ Unhappy Customers

The Tomcat Group utilizes a unique and proven model that provides seamless 'productionization' of new products by providing:◦ Focused and Dedicated Resources◦ Enhanced Quoting Process◦ Rapid Development and Implementation◦ Lower Engineering and Start-up Costs◦ Results: No Conflict, Happy Customers and Higher Profitability

The Tomcat Group


Strategic Selling:With the downturn in our economy, today's businesses have seen erosion in their 'top line'

performance and have exerted pressure on their Sales organizations to make up for the shortfall.

As a result, Sales teams have resorted to quoting 'anything that moves' whether it fits the organizational strategy or not, just to 'get the order.'

This is further compounded by the fact that these quotes are going out at lower than normal margins.

Through the proven 'Strategic Selling' model, The Tomcat Group provides your Sales organization the tools and training to develop internal & external Sales Strategies that provide:◦ Inter-Departmental Teaming◦ Customer Reconciliation and Targeting◦ Selling on Value and not just on Price◦ Customer Teaming◦ Engineering Solutions◦ Getting Beyond the Buyer◦ Developing defined 'Action Plans' for specific customers and products◦ Enhanced customer loyalty
