Situation

Approach

Stop the Bleeding

In the discovery phase, we swiftly identified critical areas needing attention. To stop the financial bleeding, we restructured the sales process, implemented account recovery strategies, and provided sales training. Additionally, we outsourced inside sales to generate new customers and rebranded the lab to attract fresh business.

Rapid and Sustainable Growth

To drive sustainable growth, we shifted to a national distribution model, developed a distributor acquisition strategy, and focused on refining product offerings. A more commercially minded culture replaced the academic focus, supported by mature marketing tactics.

Positioning for Exit

Our long-term goal centered on increasing EBITDA and professionalizing the organization. Continued brand building and inbound marketing, despite challenges like COVID-19, positioned the company for a successful exit strategy.
