GO-TO-MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION

 

Define the Optimal Go-to-Market Strategy and Commercial Organization


To achieve revenue growth or profit improvement, companies—whether operating in nascent or mature markets—must make complex decisions about their go-to-market strategies, balancing direct and indirect sales models.

In nascent markets, channel infrastructure may be limited or undeveloped, requiring businesses to invest independently or form partnerships to create new routes to market. Conversely, in mature markets, distribution channels may be evolving or consolidating, demanding a careful selection of go-to-market and commercial models that efficiently deliver products or services to customers.

The goal is to choose strategies that not only reach customers effectively but also enable the business to capture maximum value throughout the distribution chain.

COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE

Commercial Excellence involves a series of strategic steps that help organizations define their target customers and effectively deliver their value proposition through outstanding sales and marketing execution.

Our experience shows that Commercial Excellence initiatives can generate tangible financial benefits, driving revenue growth and delivering significant SG&A savings by optimizing resource allocation.


Learn more

CUSTOMER TARGETING AND VALUE PROPOSITION

 

Identify and Target High-Priority Customer Segments with Tailored Value Propositions


Many companies face challenges in understanding, segmenting, and prioritizing their customers, often resulting in a “one size fits all” approach that dilutes resource allocation and investment effectiveness.

We use external research combined with rigorous quantitative analysis of sales data to create precise customer groupings and identify the highest-priority segments. This enables us to craft value propositions tailored to the specific needs of each segment.

Our customer targeting approach gives clients a clear focus on the “best fit” segments where they can maximize revenue and profit growth.

SALES FORCE EFFECTIVENESS

 

Improve and Accelerate Sales Performance by Optimizing Processes and Enablers

Equally important are sales enablers—such as compensation plans, key performance indicators, systems and tools, and training programs—that provide the commercial team with the support they need to perform at their best.

We advise and assist management in establishing the right infrastructure to eliminate sales productivity barriers, align incentives effectively, and ultimately accelerate sales performance.

BRAND STRATEGY

INTRODUCTION

 

Dynamic Brand Management for Sustained Growth


A brand isn’t static — its performance evolves as consumer preferences shift, new channels emerge, and competition intensifies. Surface-level performance metrics can often mask underlying realities. For example, a brand’s recent surge might be driven by a fleeting fad, while a decline could obscure untapped pockets of opportunity.

Brands require continuous care and strategic oversight. To keep brands vibrant, owners must establish an effective brand architecture, allocate resources wisely, monitor brand performance against competitors, evaluate strategies against outcomes, and regularly reassess the desired market positioning. Crucially, every business decision must remain true to the brand’s core values, consumer base, and promises.


How We Support


We help you position, develop, and invest in your brands to differentiate effectively and drive growth. Our approach combines rigorous analytical insight with an appreciation for the emotional power of brands, ensuring maximum value across your entire portfolio—products and channels alike, both physical and digital.

  • Validating profiles of key consumer segments for each brand
     
  • Understanding drivers behind consumer purchasing behavior

  • Analyzing relative strengths and weaknesses of individual brands
     

For new brands or brand refreshes, we assist by:


  • Clarifying how brand elements (product range, price points, positioning, channel presence) differentiate in consumers’ and partners’ minds
     
  • Identifying ways to protect and enhance brand differentiation for portfolio growth
     
  • Defining optimal brand architecture, roles, and governance to maximize portfolio value
     
  • Crafting promotion and advertising strategies tailored to each brand’s role across channels, including online
     
  • Modeling the impact of changes to one brand on others within the portfolio
     

Your Benefits


  • A clear understanding of which customers each brand (or portfolio) serves, and how to position brands accordingly
     
  • Sharper insights into each brand’s unique points of difference

LOYALTY & CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE

INTRODUCTION

 

Building Seamless Customer Experiences and True Loyalty in the Omnichannel Era


Today, companies are focused on engaging customers across every stage of the life cycle, with an increasingly omnichannel mindset. Enhancing the digital experience is no longer separate from optimizing human interactions in the physical world—they are now inseparable parts of a holistic customer engagement strategy.

At the heart of this is the desire to build true customer loyalty: encouraging repeat business and advocacy. While traditional loyalty programs remain important, they must evolve beyond simple rewards and incentives. A modern loyalty strategy deepens relationships through richer customer understanding and more relevant, meaningful conversations tailored to target segments.

There is a direct link between customer experience and loyalty: without exceptional experiences, there is no foundation for true loyalty. Conversely, loyalty strategies that fail to integrate digital and physical experiences risk becoming undifferentiated and ineffective. Together, loyalty and customer experience form the foundation for strong customer relationships, shifting focus from mere transactions to long-term engagement. This reduces customer churn by reshaping how customers perceive, select, use, and endorse your products or services.


How We Support You


Our mission is to help you increase customer traction by delivering the seamless, integrated experiences customers expect. We combine deep data analytics and customer insights to design world-class experiences at every stage of the customer journey—from acquisition and development to commitment and retention.

We partner with you to address critical questions such as:


  • Is your brand positioning truly differentiated and focused on the right target groups?
    Too many brands attempt to appeal to broad audiences, diluting impact and relevance. A sharp focus on core customer segments is essential.
     
  • Does your customer relationship model reflect evolving customer behaviors?
    Leading companies redefine their business models around customers—not just products—ensuring a cohesive experience across all touchpoints.
     
  • Is your company culture aligned with customer excellence?
    Delivering authentic, consistent, and compelling experiences requires linking customer experience to corporate values and brand identity.
     

With extensive experience supporting some of the world’s largest and most innovative loyalty programs—across retail, hospitality, airlines, and consumer services—we bring proven expertise in integrating the drivers of “true loyalty” with behaviorally motivated actions, applying these insights throughout the customer journey.

What We Can Do for You


  • Identify and eliminate customer pain points
     
  • Uncover opportunities to delight and surprise customers
     
  • Design compelling loyalty programs that reinforce brand differentiation and cost-effectiveness
     
  • Revamp existing loyalty initiatives to meet evolving customer expectations
     
  • Integrate elements such as personalization, gamification, and superior customer experiences to foster loyalty across the lifecycle
     
  • Measure program success and support continuous improvement of the customer experience
     

Your Benefits


  • Increased profitability and loyalty driven by genuine customer advocacy
     
  • Lower sales costs through stronger word-of-mouth recommendations
     
  • Distinctive customer experiences with high returns on investment (ROI)
     
  • Enhanced ability to serve targeted customer segments effectively
     

NEW PRODUCT CONSULTING

INTRODUCTION

 

Minimize Product Failures and Maximize Innovation Success


Product failures are costly—and unfortunately common. Even the largest, most renowned companies sometimes stumble when launching new products. While failures are inevitable, long-term success hinges on a company’s ability to continually reinvent its offerings.


The good news? Many root causes of product failure are preventable. A thorough analysis of the market, channels, and customer behaviors reveals the true economic potential of new and existing products. When combined with insights into competitive actions, cost structures, and internal capabilities, these analyses uncover untapped opportunities for innovative product concepts.


How We Support


We apply a customer-centric approach to the development of new products and services.

Our key services include:


  • Identifying customer needs—both met and unmet—by analyzing your product offerings and those of competitors to spot new opportunities
     
  • Discovering new product possibilities across markets, customer segments, and distribution channels
     
  • Establishing repeatable processes for capturing new product opportunities
     
  • Building clear, data-driven business cases for new product development
     
  • Developing and testing new product concepts, including variations in format and pricing
     
  • Projecting sales, profits, and market penetration under multiple scenarios
     
  • Creating comprehensive go-to-market and product launch plans
     
  • Identifying ways to monetize the data generated from products
     
  • Exploring ancillary revenue streams connected to core product offerings
     
  • Optimizing product and service portfolios by repositioning or rationalizing existing products
     
  • Evaluating and enhancing your product development process for efficiency and effectiveness

  • Accelerated time to market via streamlined development processes

PRICING STRATEGY

INTRODUCTION

 

Mastering Pricing: Balancing Value, Profitability, and Market Dynamics


Pricing is one of the most complex and nuanced disciplines in commercial strategy. Key questions abound: What is the trade-off between price and other value attributes of a product or service? How do you accurately measure price elasticity amid competing influences like competitor promotions or discounts?

Pricing often receives less analytical rigor than metrics like sales or growth, and many organizations have a cultural bias toward discounting as a primary sales tool. Market dynamics further complicate matters. For consumer-facing businesses (B2C), innovative leaders leverage dynamic pricing—adjusting prices in real time based on factors like timing, location, channel, and customer behavior. Conversely, B2B markets with fewer customers, longer sales cycles, and larger transactions require fundamentally different pricing approaches. While price optimization is vital across both contexts, strategies must be tailored accordingly.


How We Support


We help you craft targeted pricing strategies—whether pricing to retailers, channel partners, or industrial buyers—by aligning prices with the value attributes most important to your strategic customer segments.

Our services include:

  • Clarifying market and competitive forces influencing pricing decisions
     
  • Identifying the value-driving attributes of your products or services
     
  • Ensuring price structures deliver required profit margins by analyzing cost components
     
  • Modeling the impact of pricing on volume and profitability
     
  • Improving price-setting and delivery processes for greater market effectiveness
     
  • Designing processes to consistently enforce pricing policies
     
  • Creating incentives that align your sales force with contract and account profitability
     
  • Matching pricing to the value expectations of different customer segments
     
  • Detecting margin leakage through detailed transaction-level sales data analysis
     
  • Integrating pricing strategy with product portfolio management
     
  • Developing cohesive pricing strategies across multiple sales channels
     
  • Designing analytical tools to sustain and enhance pricing capabilities over time
     

Your Benefits


  • A clearly articulated pricing architecture and, where relevant, yield or revenue management approach
     
  • Enhanced understanding of value attributes that reduce customer price sensitivity and support effective communication
     
  • Increased repeat purchases and larger basket sizes through sharper merchandising and pricing strategies
     
  • Optimized trade-offs between margin and market share
     
  • Improved predictability of profit and sales volume
     
  • Deeper insights into profitability by transaction, customer, segment and channel.

CHANNEL STRATEGY

INTRODUCTION

 

Navigating Complex Channel Ecosystems to Maximize Market Reach

Every product relies on one or more delivery pipelines. Consumer product manufacturers may use warehouse shipments, direct store delivery, or direct-to-consumer models. Software companies often engage through inside sales, distributors, OEM partners, or “touchless” digital acquisition. Financial institutions provide options ranging from self-service and assisted self-service to full-service, across both physical and virtual locations.

This complexity raises important questions for executives: Which channels should be prioritized? How do you balance each channel’s advantages and costs relative to your target customers? As eCommerce and physical retail channels multiply, ensuring alignment between them is crucial. Additionally, new channels increasingly influence every stage of the customer journey—from discovery to purchase—demanding sophisticated management.

How We Support

A winning channel strategy ensures you’re in the right places, optimized to deliver maximum profitable reach. We help you identify and activate the right channels—including emerging digital avenues—to connect effectively with your customers.

Our approach includes:

  • Pinpointing customer segments and mapping their preferred channels throughout the buying journey
     
  • Evaluating the economics and profitability of each channel option
     
  • Assessing risks and opportunities inherent in different channel choices
     
  • Designing tailored product, service, pricing, and promotional mixes for each channel
     
  • Creating incentive programs that maximize channel performance
     
  • Orchestrating seamless customer experiences across multiple channels
     
  • Establishing clear processes for channel management and conflict resolution
     
  • Continuously adapting channel strategies to evolving market conditions
     

Your Benefits

  • Enhanced efficiency and effectiveness across all channels
     
  • Increased revenue from channels best suited to your customers and business model
     
  • Stronger integration between channel, marketing, and sales strategies
     
  • Improved access to target customers at the right time, place and price.

MARKETING STRATEGY

INTRODUCTION

 

Navigating the New Marketing Landscape


The marketing world has transformed. Digital, social, and mobile technologies have reshaped how brands connect with consumers. Today’s customers are more informed, skeptical, and fragmented in their attention than ever before. At the same time, the rise of data and analytics has raised the bar for marketing to demonstrate clear, measurable impact.

This shift brings both challenges and opportunities. Marketers are increasingly collaborating across departments, fostering a broader marketing mindset throughout organizations. Yet many teams find themselves bogged down in administrative tasks and short-term projects, limiting their influence on the strategic decisions that drive business growth.


How We Help


The right marketing strategy—done well—means reaching the right customers in the right way, at exactly the right time. We empower executives to harness marketing as a key driver of business success.

Our expertise includes:


  • Crafting differentiation strategies around pricing, products, and service
     
  • Defining and prioritizing customer segments for targeted marketing
     
  • Designing integrated digital, offline, and channel marketing programs with clear goals
     
  • Modeling financial outcomes of marketing initiatives across scenarios
     
  • Selecting and evaluating marketing vendors
     
  • Developing rollout plans and governance frameworks to ensure sustained success
     
  • Building analytical solutions to track and optimize marketing performance
     

Your Benefits


  • Maximize return on marketing investment
     
  • Boost customer loyalty and retention
     
  • Build agility and resilience into your marketing strategy
     
  • Strengthen your credibility and influence within the C-suite

COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE CONSULTING

INTRODUCTION

 

Achieve Commercial Excellence to Drive Growth and Competitive Advantage


Commercial Excellence is a strategic journey organizations take to define their target customers and deliver compelling value through effective sales and marketing. Whether entering new markets or categories, or seeking incremental growth in mature, competitive industries, Commercial Excellence is essential for sustaining and accelerating success.

At TNG, we partner closely with management teams to revitalize revenue growth, optimize sales and marketing spend, and enhance resource allocation through tailored Commercial Excellence initiatives.

Why Commercial Excellence Matters Now More Than Ever

Businesses today face a host of challenges, from intensified competition in mature markets and sluggish growth in emerging markets, to global oversupply in commodity sectors. These pressures make it critical to find unique ways to build competitive advantage and grow market share.


At the same time, customers demand increasingly personalized solutions and services — raising the bar for commercial teams to deliver value tailored to specific needs.

Technological advancements such as the Internet of Things, connected devices, cloud computing, mobility, and big data are disrupting traditional market dynamics and business models. This disruption presents a powerful opportunity for companies to transform their commercial approach, shifting from product-centric models to those focused on delivering measurable customer outcomes.


Transforming Commercial Functions for the Future


Achieving Commercial Excellence means redesigning every part of the organization—especially commercial functions that directly deliver your value proposition. Sales and marketing teams must redefine customer relationships and deliver outcome-driven solutions. Meanwhile, functions like product development, engineering, and customer service must collaborate more closely with sales and marketing to fuel innovation and enhance the customer experience.

How We Help You Achieve Commercial Excellence

Our holistic Commercial Excellence Framework addresses these challenges by ensuring your go-to-market model targets the highest-value customers and consistently delivers your unique value proposition.

We work with management teams across three critical areas:


  • Customer Targeting & Value Proposition
    Identify and focus on the right customer segments, tailor offers to meet their needs, and deliver value that benefits both customers and your business.
     
  • Go-to-Market & Commercial Organization
    Optimize sales channels—whether direct, inside sales, or through intermediaries—and design your commercial organization for maximum effectiveness.
     
  • Sales & Marketing Effectiveness
    Implement the right processes and systems to boost the impact and efficiency of your sales and marketing efforts.
     

TNG COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE FRAMEWORK

 

Commercial Fitness Assessment (CFA)


Sometimes commercial challenges stem from hidden or complex causes. Our Commercial Fitness Assessment (CFA) is a fast, effective diagnostic tool that pinpoints the root drivers of sales performance issues—whether underperformance or inefficiencies—and identifies key areas for improvement.

By partnering closely with clients, we help build a robust commercial platform that supports strong, sustainable growth, optimizes resource allocation, and improves cost efficiency.


Typical outcomes include:

  • 5–10% revenue uplift with minimal additional investment
  • 15–30% reduction in selling costs where applicable

CUSTOMER TARGETING AND VALUE PROPOSITION

INTRODUCTION

 

Target the Right Customers with Tailored Value Propositions

At TNG, we help clients identify their highest-priority customer segments and craft value propositions that meet the unique needs of each segment—while optimizing economics for both the provider and the customer. Many companies struggle with understanding, segmenting, and prioritizing customers effectively, often falling into a “one size fits all” approach that dilutes focus and wastes resources.

Our approach combines rigorous quantitative analysis of sales data with external market research to create precise customer groupings. This enables businesses to clearly focus on the “best fit” segments where they can drive meaningful revenue and profit growth.

Why Customer Targeting Matters

For businesses entering new markets, targeting the right customer segments accelerates profitable growth by focusing sales and marketing efforts where the value proposition is most compelling. For established companies, customer targeting uncovers new growth opportunities, highlights profitable segments, and helps decide how to best serve—or phase out—less profitable customers.

This focus is especially critical in B2B markets, where customer requirements and value can vary widely across segments.

Common Challenges We Solve

Many organizations delegate customer segmentation decisions solely to sales teams without clear frameworks or data-driven guidance. This often results in:

  • Overgeneralized, “one size fits all” resource allocation
     
  • Missed opportunities to tailor messaging and offerings
     
  • Customer segments delivering low profitability due to lack of focus
     

How We Support Your Customer Targeting Strategy

A thorough review of your current customer targeting and value proposition forms the foundation of our Commercial Excellence work. From there, we help you sharpen your focus, realign resources, and unlock growth by delivering the right value to the right customers.

TNG’S COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE FRAMEWORK: CUSTOMER TARGETING

 

How We Help You Target the Right Customers with the Right Value Propositions


We guide our clients through a comprehensive customer targeting process that includes:


  • Customer Segmentation: Using diverse criteria—demographic, need-based, behavioral, or attitudinal—we leverage primary research (surveys, interviews) alongside advanced analytical and statistical tools to analyze large data sets and create meaningful segments.
     
  • Economic Analysis: Assessing the cost-to-serve for each segment, we identify key levers to improve profitability and optimize resource allocation.
     
  • Prioritization of Segments: We evaluate segments based on objective attractiveness (size, profitability, growth potential) and a company’s unique ability to win in each segment by matching value propositions to customer needs.
     
  • Customer Proposition Review: Drawing on extensive experience, we assess all elements of the customer offering—profit and service models, pricing strategies, and relationship management approaches—to ensure alignment and impact.
     

Your Benefits


  • A new, unified customer segmentation framework that aligns commercial teams and optimizes sales and marketing efforts
     
  • Clear focus on the “best fit” customer segments where you can maximize revenue and profit growth
     
  • Deep insights into the economics of each segment, revealing opportunities to enhance the financial return of customer relationships
     
  • A tailored value proposition strategy that meets the specific needs of each segment, driving stronger engagement and results

GO-TO-MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION

INTRODUCTION

 

Designing the Optimal Go-to-Market Strategy and Commercial Organization


At TNG, we help clients define the go-to-market (GTM) strategies and commercial organizations best suited to achieving their revenue growth and profit improvement goals.

Whether operating in nascent or mature markets, businesses face complex decisions around GTM approaches—including direct, indirect, or hybrid channel models. In emerging markets, channel infrastructure may be limited, requiring investment in new routes to market through partnerships or independent efforts. In mature markets, distribution channels are often evolving or consolidating, making it critical to select a GTM model that efficiently delivers products and services while maximizing value capture across the distribution chain.


Why Go-to-Market Optimization Matters


Despite significant investment in product and service innovation, many companies struggle to meet growth or profitability targets with existing sales channels. Finding more effective and efficient ways to sell and service customers can be a powerful lever for growth and cost reduction.

With evolving channel landscapes—often marked by consolidation and increased power—businesses must adapt their GTM strategies to safeguard margins and ensure sustainable distribution. Advances in digital and logistics capabilities also open new possibilities to serve customers directly, reducing reliance on intermediaries, enhancing customer experience, and improving margin economics.


Meeting Rising Customer Expectations


Increasing customer demands for product and service quality add pressure on sales teams and support functions. Delivering exceptional customer service can be a key differentiator and a driver of long-term success. This often requires investing in new capabilities to serve customers directly or support channel partners more effectively.


Our Approach to Go-to-Market Model Optimization


We start by gaining a deep understanding of customer needs and channel capabilities, assessing how well different routes meet those needs and their economic implications for both customers and providers. This insight allows us to help clients design the right GTM model, identify required resources, and realign commercial investments to strategic priorities—ensuring efficient and effective delivery of value to customers.

GO-TO-MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATION

   

How We Support: Go-to-Market & Commercial Organization


This is the second pillar of our Commercial Excellence framework, focused on defining the optimal route-to-market strategy tailored to your market context and strategic goals—and aligning your commercial organization and resource deployment accordingly.


TNG partners with organizations to make informed go-to-market decisions and optimize commercial structures by:


  • Mapping the channel landscape and analyzing distribution chain economics within your sector
     
  • Evaluating existing and new go-to-market options using strategic, commercial, and financial criteria
     
  • Modeling value chain economics for providers, intermediaries, and customers across alternative GTM scenarios
     
  • Identifying opportunities to develop innovative, technology-driven models to serve customers directly, reducing reliance on intermediaries
     
  • Aligning commercial roles—including sales, account management, product specialists, marketing, technical support, and customer service—to effectively deliver your value proposition
     
  • Reviewing commercial function structures and governance to enhance strategic alignment and cost-efficiency
     
  • Assessing resource allocation across sales, marketing, and support functions to ensure focus on strategic priorities
     

Your Benefits


  • A customized go-to-market platform designed to drive sustainable growth, fully aligned with your business strategy and customer needs
     
  • Greater ability to capture a larger share of the value your business creates for customers
     
  • Strengthened commercial capabilities that consistently deliver on your customer value proposition
     
  • A resilient go-to-market strategy that ensures effective distribution and mitigates risks from channel disintermediation
     
  • Optimized resource allocation for improved returns on sales and marketing investments
     
  • Potential reduction in overall sales and marketing costs, enhancing profitability

SALES FORCE EFFECTIVENESS

INTRODUCTION

 

Boost Sales Performance with Aligned Processes and Enablers


At TNG, we help clients across industries improve and accelerate sales performance by ensuring the right processes and enablers are in place to maximize the commercial team’s effectiveness. Sales and marketing processes must be closely aligned with your customer strategy and go-to-market model throughout the sales cycle to deliver tangible sales growth.

Equally important are sales enablers—compensation schemes, key performance indicators (KPIs), systems and tools, and training programs—that provide your sales team with the best possible support. We advise and partner with management teams to build the right infrastructure that eliminates sales productivity drains, aligns incentives, and ultimately drives sustainable sales growth.


Meeting Today’s Sales Challenges


Today’s businesses face rising demands to be more agile and efficient, often needing to do more with less. Increased M&A activity and the growth of solution-based sales amplify the pressure to cross-sell and upsell effectively. Many companies that downsized during economic downturns have been slow to restore critical sales and support resources.

Meanwhile, customers expect tailored solutions, enhanced support, and greater responsiveness. Selling great products and services alone is no longer enough. Companies must offer value-added solutions that align closely with customer needs and help deliver specific outcomes.


Rethinking Sales Processes for Greater Impact


The traditional “one size fits all” sales process no longer captures new customers effectively or grows wallet share with existing clients. It often fails to differentiate between strategic and average opportunities. To boost sales productivity and maximize ROI, companies need to re-examine and optimize their sales processes and supporting enablers.

How We Support


Sales and Marketing Effectiveness is the third pillar of our Commercial Excellence framework. We focus on identifying and implementing improvements in commercial processes and the critical enablers that support them.

TNG COMMERCIAL EXCELLENCE FRAMEWORK

SALES AND MARKETING EFFECTIVENESS

 

Strengthening Sales and Marketing Support


Evaluating key sales and marketing processes is the critical first step in building a high-performing commercial team. Equally important is refining sales enablers to ensure your team has the best possible support. This includes:


  • Designing effective compensation schemes
     
  • Defining key performance indicators (KPIs) to track success
     
  • Implementing systems and tools to streamline customer management
     
  • Providing HR support for recruiting and hiring
     
  • Offering continuous training and development
     

Delivering Quick Wins and Lasting Capabilities


Our approach balances generating quick, measurable wins with building sustainable sales and marketing capabilities. Through close collaboration with our clients, we typically help achieve incremental revenue growth of 5-10%—often with little to no additional capital investment.
