Hybrid Business Development Firm

Market Analysis & Strategy. Distribution & Representation.

Win-Win Generators

We uniquely combine two sets of activities: Market Analysis & Strategy Services; Distribution & Representation Partnerships.

Our primary expertise: Technologies that add value to industrial and healthcare organizations’ operational managers.

We have informed thousands of operational managers about new technologies, while generating better and faster market insights for 100+ technology providers.

Industrial & Healthcare Market Analysis & Strategy

How can manufacturers adapt rapidly to new markets, and make the best market strategy decisions?

Answer: with Lean business development, iterating market assessment and feedback loops in a series of sprints. These empower you to act fast but smart. They guide business development where your products & market trends are best aligned. 

An additional benefit of Lean business development for established manufacturers: accelerated speed-to-market and increased agility, without hasty decisions. Incremental feedback loops actually reduce go-to-market risk.

To think through your business development strategy (re)direction in an agile manner, an experienced firm like The Triana Group can provide a unique combination of world-class research and industry experience. Our decade experience interviewing thousands of lead users, distributors and channel partners, subject-matter experts, combined with pragmatic quantitative data analysis, makes us the prime choice if you are looking for high-quality analysis and diligent strategic and operational decision-making.

Industrial Distribution & Representation

If you are a midsize company, selling to operational managers within large multi-site organizations can be like finding a needle in a haystack. When you do find them, those people are busy, and not waiting for your call.

We have relationships with thousands of operational managers in industrial companies across North America. We can leverage them to test your market, create awareness for your product, start a sales pipeline, and build market traction.

If your products don’t compete with our existing portfolio, if they can create synergies, and if they add value to our customers, we can take your products to industrial markets and act as your partner. We bring an established channel, and a team with proven entrepreneurial experience.

Best Practices in Business Development

Business development and sales are both critical for strategic survival and growth -like most functional areas. However, they are often confused with each other, whereas they are distinct roles. What does a business development executive or consultant do, and why is it so essential?

We asked our advisory board members and interviewed more than 60 business leaders and share our findings in this article. Special thanks to Jerome Chevallier, Pharm.D., for letting us pick his brain so extensively and serving as our sounding board. Examples of topics covered in the article:

  • What is business development? What does a professional business development executive or consultant do, that “amateurs” don’t 
  • What are the risks of not having a formal business development process? 
  • Business development often requires pitching other companies to make substantial deals with yours: how do you maximize chances of success? What are the main errors to avoid?

The Right Choice

“Our collaboration with The Triana Group has already helped us generate strong interest from users and integrators, and will allow us to promptly react to the growing demand […] which can sustain both business growth and innovation.”
