 CIS Management

CIS management is highly skilled, well educated, and very experienced in the competitive intelligence field.  We take a conservative approach to competitive research -- and reject any potential client that would have us do otherwise.    

CIS management insures that our company stands apart from other competitive intelligence practitioners in our strict adherence to ethical guidelines, adherence to client-approved research plans, expertise in primary research, and smart, thoughtful analysis of findings.

 Sophisticated Research for Leading Companies

Competitive Intelligence Services, Inc.™ undertakes a range of projects for many prestigious clients.  To illustrate our range of activities, here are several project examples:

  •  Multiple Company CI.

Studied several companies’ strategic and tactical plans for a particular product category.  Database search plus interviewing of executives, using full disclosure of identity and research sponsorship.  Interviewed competitors, consultants, trade press writers, customers, etc.

  •  Due-Diligence.

Researched two small divisions for sale at a major consumer products company, identifying serious problems at one division and ultimately saving our client millions of dollars.

  •  Marketing Trend Analysis.

Working for a consumer goods company, interviews with industry experts provided us with valuable insights on a company’s strategic and tactical plans for the next 5 years.

  •  Foreign Company CI.

Profiled an elusive privately-held foreign competitor for our client.  Personal benchmarking interviews with top executives, featuring full disclosure, plus foreign database search.

  •  Export Tracking.

Utilizing on-the-ground contacts with governments abroad, we researched publicly available information, identified exporters of a particular class of product, and gathered data on quantities and values of all shipments.  Our client was thereby able to adjust its own marketing and production schedule.

  •  Customer Survey.

Contacted over 150 corporate customers worldwide on behalf of our client.  Uncovered weaknesses in client's customer service procedures.  Reported details of serious complaints and even some promising sales leads.  Client overhauled operations as a result of this survey and reports improved sales, enhanced profitability.  Project also uncovered much valuable competitive intelligence for the client.
