You need to understand your market, customers, trends, and even the regulatory landscape of the space your business operates in.
That means you need market research. Primary market research is expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes just not practical. That's where secondary market research comes in: using information already available on the internet. However, there's just too much chaos and fluff on the web and you can't separate facts from fiction.
The face of the web is covered with too much salesy content, spam, and a whole host of biased and unsubstantiated content.
That's where I come in. I'm an excellent web research with five years of experience scrapping the web to find whatever information my clients want. I have extensive market research experience, having worked with Wonder, a secondary market research company for five years now.
I'm your personal research assistant.
Do you want a competitive analysis of your competitors to gain an edge over them?
Or a SWOT analysis of any company or industry on the planet?
Or just a simple lead building task? You've got the perfect person to help you out.
I have market research expertise in the following areas and many more:
1. Company analysis.
2. Competitive landscape.
3. Industry insights and trends.
4. Best practices.
5. Data entry.
6. List building.
7. Hypothesis testing.
8. TAM, SOM, SAM, etc Analysis
Please note that I conduct secondary research using sources available in the public domain. For every topic, I conduct a 1-hr preliminary research to check for data availability and create a concrete proposal for further research to address all aspects of your research question.
Whether you need market research for business, academic, or personal purposes, I'm your guy!
