Healthcare Technology Testimonial:

“As a growing company delivering a new kind of behavior therapy solution to the healthcare market, it is critical that we understand who we are selling to and why. Sherri took on the task of focusing us in on several different market segments to determine the unique needs of each one and to prioritize our marketing efforts to these segments.

Sherri’s research enabled us to climb into the minds of our customers so we could clearly understand the benefits of our solutions and more importantly the potential barriers to adoption, from their perspective.

Sherri not only helped us capture needed insight but also interpret this information to recommend the direction for our product, partner and marketing plans. Working closely with Sherri on this important strategic initiative, we found that she was thorough and enjoyable to work with.”
Chris P. National Director Customer Marketing, Co-Founder, BodyMedia
