Fixed Price Research & Unbiased Expert Advice
Why Clients Choose OnCourse. Often companies do not have the time, impartial viewpoint, or the skills to conduct the initial research necessary to successfully develop and implement their business strategies. If they’re uncertain of the facts or worse yet — if they’re under misconceptions — they can be led disastrously astray.
We help many clients uncover answers for their:
- Corporate strategic plan
- Branding strategy
- Market mix strategy
- Product mix strategy
- Website strategy
OnCourse conducts critical pieces of competitive and customer research very quickly. This QuickBearings™ research service helps verify what executives believe they know and fill in gaps in their knowledge. QuickBearings allows us to give clients crisp, knowledgeable recommendations at reasonable prices.
Some typical questions we can help resolve are:
- What do our customers really think about our brand?
- How do we stay the market leader?
- Why are our competitors winning?
- How big is our market really?
- What are exit multiples in our industry?
- Is it time to sell my company?
- What trends are we missing?
- Where have our customers gone?
- How can we better use web technologies to improve our customer relationships?

Level 1. Download our free guide to better understand how our do-it-yourself methods work. If you need the help conducting research on your behalf, you can easily upgrade to another level.
Level 2. In addition to an in-depth questionnaire filled out by you, we tap publications, published statistics, government databases, and proprietary sources of information to investigate and answer your question. You receive two hours of consultation with a practice leader (at the beginning and end of the project), and your final report containing our results and recommendations is delivered in text and video form.
Level 3. This includes Level 2, plus online surveys of people who could be prospective customers. This type of research helps us determine the demand, pricing, and positioning of your products or services. With this type of project, we will produce a statistically relevant survey that will be unique to your needs and will only be shared with you. This level of research can provide critical customer insights that your customers do not have. Used properly, this information can enable you to outflank your competitors and win in the marketplace.
Level 4. This includes everything in Level 3, plus includes up to 30 interviews with typical customers, key staff, and other relevant parties. This option offers you a deeper psychological view of the behavior of the decision making taking place around your products and services. Armed with this information, you can better serve your customers and out-sell your competitors, giving you an unfair advantage in the marketplace.
Level 5. Completely custom research, analysis, and strategy options are also available. Please inquire.
