We use this methodology to develop strategies to help portfolio companies gain profitable market share growth:
“Good customer due diligence allows us to leverage some of the positive aspects of a company while surfacing competitive risks and exposures at the same time. We rely heavily on the Net Promoter Score which influences how we think about the potential for future market share gains and losses.”
- David W. Schroeder, Operating Partner - Baird Capital -
“Our Management team really values that work and the end report, more so than the quality-of-earnings report and some of the other financial analysis.”
- Christina Miller, Principal - Norwest Equity Partners -
“Strategex provides us with a mechanism to help us understand where our companies are with their customer relationships, where they can improve them, and a mechanism to help improve them. Strategex takes the risk out of the equation.”
- Dennis Hall, Global Head of Portfolio Operations - Baird Capital -
“Strategex’s work is maybe the most important aspect of due diligence. The investment will either likely be a success or not a success depending on how we respond to what we heard during the CDD. It’s totally invaluable.”
- John Castle, President & CEO - Branford Castle -
“At this point, I cannot live without Strategex. I have brought Strategex into every business I’ve led. The results are always transformative.”
- Kerry Baskins, CEO - Peak Tool Works -
