Strategic Business Development
Strategic business development is the process of determining the potential value of novel and visionary approaches to grow your brand, your market, and establish your company as an industry leader. Strategic business development is distinct from the sales development process and requires its own separate focus and company resources. Proven examples of successful strategic business development include forming mutually beneficial partnerships, including the now-famous concept of “co-opetition” where a group of competitors joins forces to improve and grow a market. Other examples are to lead the formation of an industry consortium to achieve a very big goal or leading the definition of a new industry specification in a well-known standards organization. These types of activities can have a significant positive impact on your brand image, sales revenue, and your reputation as an industry leader. Mayo615’s founder, David Mayes has successfully used all of these strategies in his career. Mayo615’s consultants work with the client to fully understand the possible opportunities to exploit one or more of these strategies for the client’s business and present a specific set of recommendations on how to proceed. We can also advise you along the way.

Access To Capital
Obtaining the capital necessary to fuel your business is daunting. Investors have unstated rules of etiquette, eccentricities, preferences, and processes. It is a delicate minuet with dozens of potential partners. The courtship is usually long with unexpected twists and turns. The investors need due diligence and reassurance, while entrepreneurs need “smart money” ASAP, that offers added value beyond the money. Mayo615’s advisors have decades of experience in this area and will assist the entrepreneur in understanding the investment landscape and how to navigate in it.
You can schedule a complimentary 30-minute private consultation with us via GoToMeeting to discuss how we can help you develop your fund-raising campaign and how to navigate the challenges of securing the capital you need to grow your business.

Entrepreneurial Team Assessment
Nothing in the entrepreneurial process is more critical than the formation and development of a strong team with complementary skills, strengths, and weaknesses: a team that can execute and achieve the company’s objectives. Equally important, potential investors will be focused on the team for the same reasons. The Mayo615 team’s process for entrepreneurial team assessment involves probing in-depth individual interviews and meetings with the entire team that culminates with a final assessment report to the founder(s) which includes recommendations on how best to optimize the team’s dynamics and to build a strong, positive company culture.

Technology Market Assessment
Technology Market Assessment analyzes the level of convergence between a technology and a market opportunity. A highly innovative new technology has limited market value if it does not meet a significant market need with customers ready to adopt it. Similarly, there may be a market opportunity, but the available technology is not sufficiently mature or cost-effective to exploit the opportunity. Our expertise in technology extends across multiple leading-edge research and development areas and includes renewable energy and energy storage. Mayo615’s founder, David Mayes, has been engaged by the Canadian government and numerous other organizations to assess which areas of technology are the most promising for contributing to the economy, and worthy of investment. Our consultants provide a uniquely experienced approach to assessing the degree of “convergence” between technologies and markets.

International Markets
When a small entrepreneurial company considers entering a foreign market, the obstacles are enormous. The first question should always be why? Each foreign market has its own business culture and style, which must be followed or risk failure. Facebook and Google have both failed in foreign markets despite all their expertise and resources. There are proven ways to confront these obstacles and pitfalls, but it requires significant focus from the entrepreneur and a commitment to the scale, resource cost, and risks of the challenge. Mayo615’s team includes many with decades of experience in global markets. We brief the client on the specifics of the challenges, and then address them one by one, providing a summary report on the proposed foreign market entry, from which the entrepreneur can make his best decision on how to proceed.
