Manufacturers and engineering businesses
Owners and MDs of businesses that are good at what they do, where sales feels reactive, unpredictable or too dependent on a few customers. We are based in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and work with businesses in the UK and overseas. Most of our clients are manufacturers, but if you're in a different line of business, we're still happy to talk.
Good at what they do, and short of new conversations
Most of the businesses we work with are well established manufacturers. They're good at what they do and have loyal customers who come back again and again.
What they find hard is prospecting for new business. For many of them it feels completely alien. What they usually ask us for is simple: more meetings and conversations with the right prospects, because once they're in the conversation, they can win the work.
Typical businesses we work with
- CNC machining
- Fabrication
- Injection moulding
- Metal pressing
- Casting and forging
- Laser cutting and profiling
- Surface treatment
- Precision engineering
- Automation and controls
- Subcontract manufacturing
- Bespoke, engineered to order products
- Industrial equipment and machinery
If you make it, machine it, form it or build it to order, we'll know how your customers buy.
That's who we're for
In a lot of owner managed businesses, the MD does the selling in between everything else. Quotes go out late, follow ups slip, and new business only happens when work dries up.
Once you're in front of the right people, you can win the work. Getting there, and following up once the quote has gone, is what we do.
