The Challenge
Cedar’s revenue growth was not meeting the expectations of Cedar’s ownership and senior management team. While they understood that a number of market developments were impacting the top line, they needed verification of these factors as well as an assessment of potentially hidden barriers to growth.
The Solution
Cedar engaged Trilarity to conduct structured interviews with its most important retailers, distributors, manufacturer’s representatives, and other channel partners.
“Revenue growth in a few of our product lines was not in line with my expectations. Although we had a good understanding of the potential causes, I wanted a fresh, objective view built from the perspectives of our top retailers, distributors, and other channel partners. Through a very professional execution of a structured interview program, Trilarity generated tremendous market intelligence and insights that we used to formulate and implement revenue enhancing actions."Sally Washlow
