Time2Market Business Development Coaching & Consulting

Holiday Job Search

This month we're focused on Holiday Job Search and 2011 planning.  Last week we delivered a special holiday job search webinar for UC Berkeley's Haas alumni. This week and next we'll follow up with one:one coaching.  Sign up at www.time2marketu.com if we can help.  What clients say...

Here's where Megan made a HUGE difference, and why I decided to work with her. She listens, and our conversations got me thinking about my strategy and developing a proactive plan.  Her suggestions on approach, timing and planning created a huge breakthrough and a game changer. While the economy has slowed things for those looking for new roles, and this slowdown has made the search process more challenging, thanks to Megan's help, I discovered key search and selling methodologies that helped me land the right job at the right time - last year during the holiday season.  Thank you again!

Group Coaching for Skill Building - it's fun!

Many thanks to NLBWA-OC for the opportunity to be with them this Spring. I had fun too!

Great presentation... The speaker, Megan, was entertaining and
enlightening--the tools and techniques she presented will definitely
have a positive impact on my networking skills…

I absolutely had a wonderful time at the NLBWA Mixer on 4/19! The
speaker, Megan Tobin, was an eloquent speaker and really emphasized all
the important points of how to be a successful networker. With her
presentation, I now feel much more confident about meeting new people in
new environments…

T2M20 Customer Feedback

“Working with Time2Market has been an amazing experience and a huge advantage to my business.  We have gone from “start up” to having three audio books with international distribution in the space of under four months. Not only is Megan’s knowledge of business strategy and planning extensive, she brings that unique quality of blending blue sky thinking with nuts and bolts numbers.  Plus her persistence about taking focused action means that my ideas actually get off the ground – and the results speak for the speed at which that can happen!"

Domestic Business Development Case Study

Challenge: 45-day turnaround on a project that evaluated the data network capabilities of the top cellular, paging and satellite service providers in support of a contemplated new service rollout in the US by a client company.

Solution: Time2Market jointly developed a streamlined and comprehensive approach to the project, and conducted research and due diligence on three prospective strategic partners for the client.  Megan's industry expertise was required to rapidly evaluate network coverage, systems and operational capabilities, as well as service contracting terms and parameters. Findings were presented in 30 days.

Result: The scope of findings exceeded the client's expectations. The team quickly delivered key insights for business planning, product/service development and partner contracting, and the client could immediately move forward with market entry.

"Megan collaborated with our team of industry specialists, helping formulate and implement a rapid response for our client, and ensuring project success.   She delivered very high quality work, which exceeded client expectations. I had previously worked with Megan at AirTouch and continue to work with her business, Time2Market."

International Strategy & Business Development Case Study

Challenge: A senior vice president of business development needed resources to spearhead his company's entry into select European markets. He had no business development experts that could work all three new product and service initiatives across multiple countries. He needed an experienced director who could ensure the company was ready to launch these markets within a short timeframe.

Solution: Megan led and contributed to strategic initiative development and execution. She formulated and worked on business teams, with internal and external partners from multiple countries, to get projects initiated, approved, funded and implemented.  She effectively managed regulatory, legal, technology, financial and marketing issues, as well as cross-organizational resources, for project success at parent and subsidiary companies.

Result: Within 9 months, Megan had ensured that businesses were registered and licensed to operate in two countries and corresponding business and marketing plans were in place for approval.  In addition, key operational assets and resources had been secured for launch, and management training was underway to build internal business development expertise for additional market entrance.

"Megan ensures strategic initiatives are swiftly executed in an expert fashion, delivering results that enable competitive positioning and business, product and service launch in record time."
