Clients Requirement
A large provider in the Lawn care and treatment space was conducting research to understand the lawn and turf industry in western and central US. They were looking to understand the key player landscape and also get a better knowledge of the scientific and technical elements of lawn care in the region.
NetworksX Solution
NetworksX conducted initial research and found that commercial experts from providers of lawn and turf services were not the right people to answer our clients' specific questions. We shared responses to vetting questions and advised our client that, given their line of questioning, a technical expert with a scientific background either in the education or scientific consulting space would be best suited. Upon looking through some of the feedback they agreed to change the focus.
End Result
On the back of getting our client to shift their focus to a different type of expert we connected them with 5 experts within the university and Agronomist space. The client conducted 6 hours of consultations and were able to get the technical knowledge they needed to complete their analysis on the region.
