  • Current Managing Director at a major Seaweed Producer in Scandinavia

Client Requirements

An Investment firm got in touch looking to kick off a new due-diligence project where they wanted to look into digital visualisation in the Real Estate space, specifically within markets where vendors pay for campaigns.

NetworksX Solution

NetworksX researched the key technologies being utilised to showcase homes for sale in the pandemic across the different markets. We spoke to local real estate agents to understand the decision making process of what tech to use in each campaign, how much is driven by the vendor and what technologies they expect to continue in a post-Covid era.

After completing our initial research we suggested that our client speak with experts at the technology companies producing this tech, senior employees at Real Estate head offices and online classifieds experts. We connected them with:

  • Former Director of Sales at a major visualisation provider in Australia
  • National Technology Manager at Australia’s 2nd largest real estate company
  • Head of Sales
  • North America at a Virtual Tour Technology provider

End Result

A total of 8 consultations with experts across the US, Canada, Australia, and Norway across a period of 3 weeks that allowed the client to make a better investment decision.

NetworksX leveraged a combination of existing relationships, custom research to identify experts that were bespoke to the request and introductions from experts in adjacent industries to source a dozen experts within the 2 weeks. These included:
- Former National Accounts Director at a major provider of equipment
- Procurement Director at one of the major infrastructure construction firms
- National Sales Director at a provider of safety equipment

Client Requirements

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.

  • Former Account Executive at Procore
