Our Expertise

"Working with ASC Group was a pleasure. The level of knowledge that Brian brought to the assignment was exceptional. I have worked with many management consultants during my 14 years in practice and none have ever been so thorough in their evaluation of my business. I am pleased to say that after spending only a few sessions with Brian and his team, I was able to fully understand the inefficiencies within my practice that had stopped me from achieving the growth and success that I envisioned years ago. Within 6 months of implementing the plan that ASC Group Inc. had developed I reduced my overhead expenses by 29% and increased my net profit by 11%"

Competitive Analysis

At Access Strategic Consulting Group we understand the unique needs of your firm. We recognize that firms such as yours need comprehensive competitive analysis in order to remain properly positioned.

Access Strategic Consulting Group has developed a 360˚ evaluation process that provides your firm with a comprehensive, objective, analysis that will give your firm the best possible chance for success.

Furthermore, we have designed our process so that it may to be used as a stand-alone strategic tool, giving you a snapshot of your current environment, or as a supplement to your corporate strategic plan. Regardless, of your intended use, you can be confident that our analysis will arm you with all of the information that you will need to create a strong market position and a solid offensive strategy.

Market Strategy Development

Our firm understands the complexities inherent to developing a professional marketing strategy. Our Market Strategy Development service focuses on a wide range of factors that impact your firm’s ability to favorably position itself within the marketplace. While we address the typical marketing strategies, most commonly referred to as the four Ps of marketing: product strategies, pricing strategies, promotional strategies, and placement strategies, we also address the issues that impact your business beyond how it is marketed. Each marketing strategy developed by Access Strategic Consulting Group addresses issues such as market penetration, market share, profit margins, budgetary and financial analysis, capital investment, the political environment, demographic changes, emerging technology and cultural trends.

Market Research

Access Strategic Consulting Group’s Market Research serviceis designed to assist entrepreneurs in the gathering of vital information necessary to make educated decisions on how to proceed with new products or services.

Let’s face it, it is impossible to sell products or services that customers do not want. Learning what customers want, and how to present it attractively, drives the need for marketing research. Our Market Research service focuses on gathering pertinent information and organizing it into a clear and concise market report that is easy to interpret; even for the most novice user. We have designed our service to benefit our clients by identifying very specific goals; to ensure that such information is timely and permits entrepreneurs to:

Reduce business risks
Spot current and upcoming problems in the current market
Identify sales opportunities
Develop plans of action

Business Plan Development

One of the greatest mistakes made by entrepreneurs is insufficient planning. Failure to develop a sound business plan typically results in disaster. Like a sailboat being pulled aimlessly by the currents, businesses operating without a business plan simply get pulled through the market with little or no control over where they will land.

Access Strategic Consulting Group’s Business Plan Development service was developed with one goal in mind; to develop individual, venture-capital grade, business plans for all clients, regardless of company size, industry, or resources.

Each business plan developed by Access Strategic Consulting Group is thoroughly researched and written by accomplished entrepreneurs that have been involved in business start-ups and business ownership for over 16 years. Our plans are written to be used as an operational “roadmap” to help navigate our clients through the rough waters of business ownership and operations. Additionally, our company knows what is important to lenders and investors and will make sure your business plan covers all key points. As experienced business plan consultants we know about costs and timelines and will use this expertise to help you create a business plan that will favorably impress funding sources and get results.

Turnaround Strategy Design

No business owner or executive wants to face the challenge of developing a turnaround strategy for their business. Taking on such a challenge means that your firm is in a time of corporate distress and is faced with special strategic management challenges; challenges that are often beyond the expertise of the current management team. During these stressful times it is vital that an objective party become involved in order to give your firm the greatest chance for a successful outcome.

Access Strategic Consulting Group has the expertise that your firm requires in order to return it to a healthy financial or competitive position.Our Turnaround Strategy Design service benefits our clients through a multi-level evaluation approach. Once the cause of the crisis is identified we then analyze your firm as if it is a new venture. We develop a strategy that is in line with your firm’s resources and capabilities and when appropriate, parallels the company’s original mission and objectives. However we recognize that this approach is not always feasible and sometimes the company must take a new direction in order to survive. When this approach is required we will assist you in the development of a new corporate strategy to put your firm back in a position of strength.
