Customer Relations Management, CRM
CRM has become the most prominent marketing field in the last decade and many firms experimented with the innovations. However, only few actually created a measurable difference for their clients.
We are able to review your current CRM strategies and tools, and advise you on how to enlarge your customer share and their satisfaction.

We pride ourselves on having the ability and resources to dive in as deep as needed to understand your products or services.

Human Resource Management, HRM
Do not make the mistakes that so many new firms have done. The Dutch labor market is the tightest in all of Europe. Looking for the right people in this country can be tedious, time-consuming, and costly task if not done properly. Endeavour Enterprises will handle this, or by using its contacts and suppliers, will make this essential search much quicker, easier, and more accurate. Endeavour Enterprises will also brief your management as for the unique local labor laws and contracts.

Marketing: analyzing local needs and competition
In the surplus age, it is even more important to understand and satisfy your customers’ unique and genuine needs. Endeavour Enterprises analyzes local needs for your industry, products and services and will plan your marketing efforts and product positioning accordingly.

Finding Strategic Partners:
Identifying the right local strategic partners is extremely important to your success. We have developed a methodology to analyze your requirements to locate that appropriate partner – a partner that will match your business style, communicate well, and share your vision.

Mature phase

 

Our knowledge in building firms and consulting on their operations enables us to assist firms to trouble-shoot and improve their performance. Being active in consulting to various industries makes it possible for us to modify and implement solutions from one industry to another in an innovative mode.

Customer survey
What do your customers think about your products and services? Did you ask them lately? Are there any problems that require your immediate attention? You will be amazed how essential such survey can be when done professionally by an outside company. In the surplus economy, it is vital to constantly monitor your products and services. Do not wait to see the symptoms in sales drop, as most do, in order to hear what your customers are saying. Endeavour will conduct a full-scale customer survey on your company’s’ behalf. These surveys are tailor made to your industry, business and requirements. Endeavour will analyze and present the outcomes to your senior management and make specific recommendations in order to overcome the obstacles.

Interim management
Endeavour can assist you by taking a more active role in your day-to-day operation or execution of your business. We, ourselves, can be available for short-term, part-time, retainer, or project-based roles and work.

Operations audit
“Operations” is a general term for the infrastructure you build, the major actions you take, and the processes you have developed to operate your business. It can certainly vary from one industry to another and from one business owner’s vision and methods to another’s. If you feel that your operations are not running smoothly (honestly, they never do) and can be done better, it might be a good idea to involve professionals that will analyze your processes rather than symptoms and optimize your value chain.

“Some men see things as they are and ask why. Others dream things that never were and ask why not.” George Bernard Shaw

Strategic planning
“Failing to plan is planning to fail” as they say, or “Plan your work, and work your plan”, and the best for last, “Hope is not a strategy.” Every business action should start with proper planning. Our team can review your strategies, localize your initiatives, and make specific recommendations on how to achieve your visions and goals.

Marketing
When was the last time your marketing strategy had an audit? Armed with your Customer Survey, Endeavour Enterprises can verify if your marketing strategy is efficiently tuned and if it really answers customer needs. We can guide your management team through a process that will yield a winning marketing strategy, combining your competitive advantages with market opportunities.

Customer Relations Management (CRM)
CRM has become the most prominent marketing field in the last decade and many firms experimented with the innovations. However, only few actually created a measurable difference for their clients. We are able to review your current CRM strategies and tools, and advise you on how to enlarge your customer share and their satisfaction.

Going global
If your company thinking of going global, it might be a good idea to be assisted by our global contacts and know how. We will find for you customers, suppliers and strategic partners in your target country. We will screen them up for you and guide your firm through the whole process of going global. If you are looking for a supplier or contact abroad, you could also use our worldwide network.
