Dawn over the Sahara
Who we work with

Do you feel that your expansion is blocked by particular commercial or political obstacles, or by competitor interference with the market? Or perhaps it is simply a question of getting yourself well established and known about?

We work with businesses from individual business professionals up to medium sized companies that typically have a growing presence in the UK and / or export markets. Often, our clients need to overcome commercial or political barriers to expansion. We also help individual creative professionals who want to increase their reach and impact, either in general or for a particular project.  
Our ideal clients How we work  

Does this sound like you?

"We have a great product or service with real potential to capitalise on our intellectual property and change the market. However there are barriers to entry or expansion like the 'we have always done it this way so why change' syndrome. We are frustrated by this and need help to break out of the box we are in"

"Our products provide a real solution to a difficult problem. They make life better for people but are being attacked by well established vested interests that do not want to see us taking market share. We need help to overcome this and take the place in the market that we feel is rightfully ours."

"My business is established and kind of ticking along. I believe there is much more potential in it than we have been able to achieve so far. We need help with public relations, particularly with social media, so that we can increase our impact and our reach. We also need training so that we can learn how to do this by ourselves in future."

"I am an independent creative artist with strong technical skill and a real, creative aesthetic flair. Now I just need help to get myself well known and 'out there' so that I can reach people and institutions that will appreciate my art."

What our clients have in common is the need to overcome barriers to expansion in their particular market.

Duncan on boat
 
In his teens, he used to work on old cars, like Austin Sevens and Ford Prefects, for fun. He says, "When we got stuck on something we would look at each other and say, there must be a better way of doing this." He has been looking for, and finding, that better way all his life. The better way is the Strategic Resolution.

No magic wands – just thoroughly sensible, down to earth, believable strategies delivered in a professional way. We start with your existing scene, work out what would be your ideal scene, then chart a course for you to arrive at your destination.

What is Strategic Resolution?

We help you promote yourself and your business and help repair damaged reputations. We are resolution consultants; we help single professionals and small to medium sized businesses resolve problems and overcome difficulties relating to expansion.   Do any of these difficulties sound like you?          
At Strategic Resolution we help businesses overcome specific barriers to expansion.
